Birchenwood Tunnel was part of the Potteries Loop Line opened in 1875 between Etruria and Kidsgrove via Hanley and Tunstall. It was unusual in being built to accommodate three tracks. The line closed to passengers in 1964 although this section continued to be used for freight until 1976. It is now a cycleway and footpath.
