Standing with my back towards the tunnel this is the view towards Yate. I actually deliberately left getting this set of photos until winter so there would be a lot less greenery! |
The same view from higher up. (roadside). Despite all the greenery it's still possible to see a red buffer stop. This was the headshunt for Tytherington Quarry. The line that went through Grovesend Tunnel was to the left (in this photo) of this headshunt and at a much lower level. |
