Abandoned railway tunnel

[RJL2005]

Explored a local disused railway tunnel and came away with these. Fascinating place a mile long, dead straight with a ventilation shaft halfway along.

Interesting place/images and I'm particularly drawn to the last b&w shot
The pipeline does add an extra visual perspective too

Very interesting, love urbex shots really like the shaft one

 

[Tbant]

Some really great shots, I love the colours in the first one.

 

[riddell]

nice.

 

[Digitall]

That is different and very nice for you Rhod, love the first image
It does not sound as intended, but you know what I mean.

Loving the 2nd one. It looks like a scene from a FPS game like Doom 3.

Excellent shots, I've been meaning to visit there for a while but wasn't sure if it had been bricked back up again.

Super place - prefer the colour images to the mono.

I've been trying to work out where does the ventilation shaft come out, I'm guessing somewhere around Burger King?

Thanks for commenting guys

Johnsy - I think the vent is boxed in behind PC World. As a kid I remember the area as farmland with the ventilation shaft surrounded by a circular brick wall in the middle of a field!

Dig all of these. Very nice shots of an unusual subject.

Thinking about it, I can remember seeing it in the field before the retail park was built.

All very nice but B&W shot my favourite.

 

[huxleypiggles]

Bloody awesome.

Loving these. The lack of colour in the last one makes it seem really otherwordly. Lovely.

It's the second one for me. (but all 3 are great). Nice set, thanks for sharing

Reminds me of an old railway tunnel we used to walk through as kids - it's fenced off now so you can't get in anymore.

Was very spooky as it got very dark in the middle, and small dips in the ballast on the floor looked like gaping black holes, as did the recesses in the walls for workers to stand in when trains passed.

I like specially the first one? How did you illuminated?
