This view shows the surveying slits lined up, meaning that the camera location must be above the centreline of the tunnel. One of two such structures built in 1845 to aid the setting out of the twenty constructions shafts along the line of the tunnel, this is the only one that remains and is listed grade II (list entry 1253379). See Image for a side view from the road.
