Described some years ago as 'disused', but clearly the local Steam Railway Trust a little way to the south has been extending their line and have now brought the tunnel back into use. It dates from around 1856, and was built for the Ketley branch of the Wellington and Severn Junction Railway (later the GWR) and was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101257692-disused-railway-tunnel-under-dawley-to-wellington-road-lawley-and-overdale#.YLVcYahKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1257692 in 1997.
