Summary
| Description |
English: Here, in Prospect Tunnel, you can see the innards of Follifoot Ridge, deep in the bowels of the Yorkshire Dales.
This tunnel cuts through the same geological sandstone beds that are responsible for the nearby
Plumpton Rocks. The rock here is absolutely brimming with iron, as evidenced by the pink hues visible in buildings like
Spofforth Castle. You can see it leaching into the tunnel in the form of bright orange deposits which seep through the walls.
This line was one of the very first railways to be closed under the Beeching Axe of the early 1960s. The shutdown of once-thriving powerhouses like the Leeds & Thirsk Railway has riddled landscapes everywhere with an amazing legacy in the form of these post-industrial warrens. A copy of this file can be seen online in its original resolution at this address. |
