I believe this might be the site of the tunnel?

 

Google Maps Downton Tunnel Link

 

It appears the infilled cutting is to the top right.

 

Ian i have looked there but i dont think it would of been a tunnel there more of a cutting but now its just plowed feilds as google shows i thought it might of been near this old bridge nearer Alderbury

[S&DJR Special interest group]

I'm not to sure. The tunnel was only 107yds long (97.8m) and from what i've read of it, it was unpleasant for crew due to it being a small bore tunnel (and perhaps no ventilation?).

 

I may go and have a wander over the fields that way and see if i can spot anything. The problem is I'm not sure where the cutting ended and the tunnel began.

 

Maybe possibly look at the old maps website and get a grid reffrence then look at the ordance survey for an up to date map and have a look

[S&DJR Special interest group]

The filled it in along with the cutting as well. Shame really.

 

A couple of years ago before I really knew about the line i found the old railway bridge that was just before the north cutting. It didn't dawn on me at first that there was a tunnel they filled so much in.

 

Does anybody know how the filled it in. Surely if we were to get a digger out (not saying we do) you'd be able to find the tunnel brickwork.

Somewhere there must be some information about it.

 

Yeah ive found a couple of the bridges whiloe driving out that way is a shame really although there might of been a ventialtion shaft?
