Building the last Main Line Railway
Catesby Tunnel and Viaduct: gcrcs161
View of Catesby tunnel's southern portal which had still to
be completed after the tunnel lining was complete circa 1897. The wooden
'centring' is still in place around the arch, and lengths of timber have been
employed to shore up the planking of the portal's temporary facade. The
'serrated' finish to the brickwork was to provide a keyed finish to which the
tunnel's stone facade will be secured.
