Looking north from the platform at Priory Station, the south portal of this short tunnel is seen. Previously this tunnel was known as Charlton South tunnel. On the way out of Dover, it is succeeded by a second slightly longer tunnel, Charlton North. This stretch of railway was the second line to reach Dover, being opened by the London, Chatham and Dover railway, in 1861, some 17 years after the first line, the South Eastern, had arrived via Folkestone in 1844.
