This tunnel allows walkers and cyclists on the Scotia Valley Greenway, the former Potteries Loop railway, to remain on the level although it is obviously not the original structure. On the other side is the site of Newchapel & Goldenhill station, closed in 1964; this stretch of the railway was closed to freight two years later.
