  5. I used to go through the tunnel dailyas a child, from Newton Hall Road to Flowery Field school. We knew it as the Little Tunnel. There are cobbles on the road and one of those on the right side duki road end has a mark on that we thought it was magic and we stood on the cobble to make a wish. Fond memories of the tunnel.

  9. Linda, I, too, did the same walk as you through the Little Tunnel, then along Furnace St to school. But Throstle Bank tunnel was down the cobbled road, from between F.Field church and the cricket pitch, and was closer to Dukinfield Rd. I think a funny, four-wheel-steering truck used to transport cotton between the Ashton Bros mills, through T. Bank tunnel.

  10. The editing highlights the features of the tunnel and the contrasting shapes around it. Lovely.

  13. I love the texture of this photo - the grainy look seems an artistic throwback to when this trestle was new, perhaps the 1850s (?). It feels like an old photo - very nice!
