Redcliffe Tunnel
(1872 ~ 1964) This is the western end of the disused railway tunnel through Redcliffe Hill, close to St Mary Redcliffe church. It used to take goods transported between Bristol Harbour and Temple Meads station. The Docks railway crossed Bathurst Basin via a swing bridge which now carries pedestrians and cyclists.

Sedimentary strata
Evidence of the geological basis of the naming of this area of Bristol - 'Redcliffe'.
Ironically, having originated through the steady accumulation of sand grains, on the ocean floor, the resulting rock has been mined and crushed to return it to sand for building. The historic 'caves' created by this industrial process are still partially accessible, nearby, at Redcliffe Quay.

Quondam railway
Adjacent to Guinea Street: the Docks railway branch line from nearby Temple Meads Station used to emerge here and run across the small swing bridge (extant) over
Bathurst Basin and along the Floating Harbour. Only the sunken lines remain (in places), the freight trains having ceased long ago. Although sealed at both ends, the tunnel still exists beneath St Mary Redcliffe churchyard, and has been used in the past for storage.
(Now that some of Dr Beeching's mainline rail closures are being reversed, who knows whether the tunnel might re-open at some time.)
