The Park Tunnel, Nottingham
The Park Tunnel (actually two small tunnels) was constructed to form an entrance into the “Park Estate” but it seems the route was considered too steep at the time and other entrances into the estate proved more popular. Today, the Derby Road end of one tunnel is blocked by a modern building although it is possible to access the car park under the building from the tunnel. The other part of the tunnel is still a through route, utilising Tunnel Road in the estate and also a set of narrow steps climbing up in the section between the two tunnels.
A little history of the tunnel can be found on the Nottingham University website.
