The tramway was built in 1802 by Benjamin Outram to connect the local limeworks to the Ashby Canal. The 140 yard long tunnel was constructed simply so as not to conflict with the driveway to Calke Abbey, and is of cut-and-cover build. This is the eastern tunnel mouth. The strengthening arches visible inside are under the driveway itself so as to be able to cater for modern vehicles. The tunnel is a Scheduled Monument. It has been restored to form part of an extended cycle and pedestrian route along the tramway. #urbanexploration #urbex #bando_in_details #explore
