The Victoria Tunnel is an early Victorian Grade II listed tunnel, originally coal was transorted on carts through Newcastle which wasn’t popular so plans were made to build a wagonway to transport it.
The Victoria Tunnel was named after Queen Victoria, and officially opened 7th April 1842.
On its opening a train of wagons containing coal and local dignitaries took half an hour to travel its length !
The tunnel also later came into use as an air raid shelter in WW2 hence the blast doors toilets etc ..
