Hi
I joined this forum several months ago and have enjoyed viewing all your photos from some super explorations. Thought it about time I contributed some pics too. Although this is rather mundane I hope you find them interesting.
This tunnel used to span the A35 trunk road between Charmouth and Axminster until the road was rebuilt to bypass it in 1990. It's a grade 2 listed structure and has been used for some years as a camp site for travellers until it was sold about 3 yrs ago and they were moved on. These pics were taken just after the site was cleaned up ready to lease to anyone interested. No takers so far to my knowledge. You can imagine the chaos on this section of road during the summer months with caravans coming and going to Devon and Cornwall for the holiday season !!
Cheers Tony
