Description:	Reigate Tunnel south portal (was A217) Reigate Tunnel deserves to have much greater prominence within SABRE than it seems to have, being of great historic importance � the earliest road tunnel built in Britain (and possibly Europe). It was built in 1823 by W Constable to avoid a detour round the Castle Mound in Reigate. It is around 50m long, bored through sandstone, and was used by vehicular traffic as recently as the 1970s, as part of the A217. Traffic in Reigate now goes round a one way system, of which Castle Mound forms the centre. Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Oct 07, 2007 by IanReigate
