Thackley tunnel West portal
I love these old railway tunnel portals when they're overgrown with ferns and greenery. This setting is reminiscent of Jurassic park!
Thackley West portal looked an impressive sight in the Summer sun.
The last train to run through here was 41 years ago. The silence is shattered occasionally when a train emerges from the next door tunnel.

Brackendale, Thackley End
Records show that in 1861 John Kendall, a woollen millworker, lived in one of these small cottages with his wife and six children. One of his sons, Jowett Kendall, became an architect and prospered - he was also my wife's great grandfather

Thackley tunnel
This is the view looking down the tunnel from the portal.
A bright day outside let plenty of sunlight into the tunnel. Long shadows of two explorers stretch far into the tunnel. The tunnel would soon plunge into darkness as we progressed.
