DescriptionDeepdale No 3 Tunnel, Preston - geograph.org.uk - 948297.jpg
English: Deepdale No 3 Tunnel, Preston The Preston & Longridge Railway was opened in 1840, the primary purpose for its promotion being to carry stone from Longridge Fell for use in public buildings in Preston and the docks at Liverpool. From its terminus on the banks of the Lancaster Canal at Maudlands it ran through a series of closely-spaced tunnels totalling half a mile in length under Deepdale. This is the easternmost portal of the tunnels, taken from St Pauls Road bridge. The line, which latterly served a coal yard at Deepdale, has been disused for a number of years but there is still a single line of rails beneath the grass. Just visible in the far background above the tunnel is the spire of St Walburge's Church, possibly the tallest church spire in Preston.
