taken 5 years ago, near to Tyne Tunnel, South Tyneside, England
Tunnel entrance building, Jarrow
This building is the main pedestrian entrance to the foot tunnel under the River Tyne. The building houses the escalators which descend to the tunnel.
There is also a lift, for cyclists as well as wheelchair users and other pedestrians for whom using an escalator is less practical. The lift is housed in a separate building, not visible in this image.

Tyne pedestrian and cyclist tunnels
The pedestrian and cyclist tunnels beneath the River Tyne opened in 1951. They connect Jarrow on the south side of the river with Howdon on the north. There are two parallel tunnels, one for pedestrians and one for cyclists. The tunnels are Grade II listed.
More information about the tunnels can be found on their dedicated website: Link
River Tyne
The River Tyne is 100 miles long and flows generally eastward towards its mouth at Tynemouth just east of Newcastle. The River has two sources. The South Tyne rises on Alston Moor and the North Tyne rises north of Kielder Water.
