Is this the tunnel nearer the road that going under the factory near Lidl? I found that first but didn't get far up it due to the deep mud, I assumed this was drainage related but maybe its what you mentioned?

That's the lesser tunnel if you walk directly across and under the railway you will see two tunnels one was access to ropeworks and one on left was another shelter .the lesser one collapsed last checked .the left hand tunnel across the way was backfilled .the old scrapyard behind Lidl was the yarn dyeing house last was down that way it was being used by welding company .
