The Summit Tunnel: Where Nature Meets Iron
There is something hauntingly beautiful about the way the Pennine landscape tries to reclaim the Summit Tunnel. Built by the Manchester and Leeds Railway, this tunnel was once the ultimate symbol of the industrial revolution.
Today, it’s a place of contrasts:
The dark, gaping mouth of the portal framed by summer ferns.
The monolithic air shafts standing like sentinels on the lonely moors.
The sudden burst of color as a modern Class 150 emerges from the Victorian darkness.
Deep dive into the history and see more views of the Summit Tunnel over on the blog.
