The Park Tunnel

The Park is a private estate started in the early 1800s when wealthy industrialists bought the land to build villas. The area was originally the deer park alongside the castle.
They decided to build a tunnel to allow easy access by horse and carriage to the city centre. Unfortunately they misjudged the incline and it was too steep for most horses. Still used as a pedestrian tunnel to Derby Road though.
