Old A35
Only just wide enough for two cars, you had to approach this end with care, in case of lorries emerging.

Looking east. This looks more like an old railway than a road.Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jul 31, 2007 by SteveA30
Looking back, westwards. Note refuge for road workers. Although the approach heading west was straight, there was no warning of anything coming into the tunnel, as shown here.Originally uploaded to Coppermine on Jul 31, 2007 by SteveA30
