A glimpse through the trees of the top of the north portal of Sherwood Rise tunnel, constructed as part of the Great Central Railway's London Extension in the late 1890s. The ground has been built up considerably here since the railway closed, and today forms a small open space beyond the south end of Camelot Avenue.
