At 825 perfectly straight yards, Prospect Tunnel channelled the Harrogate to Wetherby line under Follifoot Ridge. Just beyond the northern portal was Crimple junction where the line joined the existing Leeds-Harrogate. Built by the York & North Midlands Railway. Cracks are beginning to separate the southern portal from the stonework behind it.

Visited with ultrix.

On a note if any ones planning on making a visit make sure your wearing waders as the water at the far portal is probably 3' deep.
