The Hereford to Worcester railway at the point it emerges from the tunnel under the Malvern Hills. The tunnel currently in use is in fact the second tunnel. After a partial collapse of the tunnel roof around one of the ventilation shafts in 1907 it was decided to build a new tunnel. The Victorian tunnel closed in 1926, but still served a useful purpose in the Second World War, the navy took over the old tunnel and used it to store torpedoes.
