Clay Cross Tunnel

This is Clay Cross Tunnel which is of Moorish design and grade 2 listed. The tunnel was completed in 1839 by George Stephenson and is 1,784 yards long and Clay Cross High Street is 150 feet above the line. The tunnel eventually cost £140,000 instead of £98,000 with the lost of 15 lives. As the tunnel was bored out they found coal and iron in large amounts and so George Stephenson opened Clay Cross Company.
