Approaching Heaton Park Tunnel
The southern approach to the tunnel under Heaton Park.
The Heaton Park Tunnel was constructed during the 19th century when the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway’s line between Manchester and Radcliffe was being laid. Lord Wilton, the owner of the estate at that time, was not prepared to see his estate disfigured by a railway and insisted on the trains going under his estate and not in a cutting.
Although known as Heaton Park Tunnel it should, perhaps, be more correctly described as a covered way as it was not constructed by tunnelling but was dug out and then roofed over. It is possibly the shallowest railway tunnel in the UK. At one point, the top of the brick arch is less than two feet underground.
The 713-yards tunnel and a railway station (now Heaton Park Metrolink station) adjacent to the park’s Whittaker Lane/Bury Old Road entrance were opened in 1879.
