Edlingham Railway Tunnel
The Alnwick to Coldstream (Cornhill) railway branch line was built by the North Eastern Railway and opened in 1887. To avoid the Duke of Northumberland's estate north of Alnwick, the railway initially had to be routed south, with the diversion requiring a tunnel and a viaduct at Edlingham.[1] The tunnel is located just over a mile north of Edlingham Station. The tunnel through Hill Head is 351 yards long and lined in red brick, from a local brickworks. It has 2 ventilation shafts.[2]
