    Thanks for this Pat. As a 3-6 year old I lived in a house (on Hollis Nook) near to this tunnel which was demolished to build the by-pass. The tunnel was accessed at that time by going down an embankment and then along the old railway line I presume. I remember the railway line was covered with white stones/pebbles and it ran towards what is now the Ibis Hotel. That would have been about 1971-74. My brothers and friends used to enter the tunnel but we never got very far before we frightened each other with silly stories and thought that the oxide was blood! Glad I got to walk through it with you. I will share this with my brothers. I seem to recall there was a massive circular walled structure which was a big ventilation shaft near to the old trebor factory but I was a young child so I don’t know if this was another ventilation shaft or the north one you pointed out. Thanks for sharing.

    They're over 120 years-old and were hastily constructed even back then with little to no thought about long-term structural support, It wouldn't be safe now mate. It's been eroded for decades and exposed to the elements. Not only that, when they built those tunnels they didn't ever think that they'd be building hundereds of thousands of tons of dual carriageways, houses, flats, workshops and retail parks above them because they weren't even conceived of back then. All that weight above them, their rugged untested construction, weathering and their age puts too much pressure on the tunnels themselfes and are now therefore unsafe for anything transport-wise to travel though.
