[stranton]

by stranton visited with @ACID- REFLUX

The Walton tunnels consists of 3 tunnels,
the south tunnels 247 yds, middle tunnels 643 yds & north tunnels 229 yds
there's a 70 yd cutting between 1 & 2 tunnels & 143 yd cutting between 2 & 3 tunnels crossed by Liston street bridge.
running from Kirkdale to Walton, runs beneath the settlement of Walton on the hill.
The south portals in average condition,
the walls are cut through the face with no lining, the roofs are brick arch
there's no air shafts but refuges were found on both sides of the tunnel.
The north portals in poor condition, sealed with heavy duty palisade & locked.
The tunnels opened in 1879, closed on 17th June 1975.
The tunnels water free which is seldom for unused tunnels,
there's evidence of a parallel tunnel construction which never reached completion.

You need to get someone to help you get around uploading the images directly m8ty, these links will be dead before the month is out

NOBODY should post using Photobucket links anymore as they are no longer supported

there's no air shafts but refuges were found on both sides of the tunnel.

They help with the air quality?

Great explore, the refuges were for the rail workers to get out the way when a train was approaching.
