To
the SW of Leeds, is a suburb called Pudsey. Nearby lies one of the
many disused tunnels in West Yorkshire, Greenside, aka Pudsey. This
is its west portal at SE2127032630,
locked, protected and smothered in anti-climb grease (nasty)!!
At 618 yards
(565 metres), it's one of the shorter ones in the region (think
Gildersome, Woodhead, etc). Built for the Great
Northern,
it was in use from 1893 to 1964. The east portal is in danger of
being buried by spoil from a nearby building site – photo may
follow.
To the west of the portal, lies one of the highest railway embankments in England, as the railway crossed Tyersal Beck - it's nigh on 110 feet high!
