Privett Tunnel (North Portal)
The extent of the infill north of Privett Tunnel. The entire cutting from here, all the way to the station has been backfilled with who knows what. There are a couple of ventilation ducts in the backfill, so it may well have been converted into a tip after closure. It was common practice in the 1960's to use redundant railway cuttings as a convenient way of rubbish disposal.
