Refuge

A platelayer's refuge inside the south portal of Dudley tunnel. It was used by track workers as trains passed although as this line was originally built as broad gauge, the tunnel had more trackside space than most.

 

Line tunnel was opened in 1853 after around 3 year's construction and was last used in 1993.
