Haddon Tunnel portal

The Midland Railway route linking Derby and Manchester across the Derbyshire Peak District opened in 1860. The Haddon tunnel is 1058 yards long and was constructed because the Duke of Rutland was unwilling to allow the railway to cross his estate on the surface. The line closed in 1968 and the tunnel was sealed.
