Whitehaven Tunnel
The north entrance of Whitehaven Tunnel; the end of the platform ramp of Platform 2 of Whitehaven Station (photograph NX9718 : Platform 2, Whitehaven Station) is visible in the right foreground (see also photographs NX9718 : Whitehaven Tunnel and NX9718 : Air Shaft No.5, Whitehaven Tunnel). The small antenna visible at the crown of the brick arch is to permit two way communication with trains in the tunnel. The England Coast Path and National Cycle Route 72 pass over the flat roofed section of the tunnel in the foreground.
England Coast Path At this point the England Coast Path follows a minor road that runs along land previously occupied by railway tracks serving William Pit. The substantial stone abutment supported a bridge over the Cumbrian Coast Line (originally the Whitehaven Junction Railway) which carried a tubway and a standard gauge railway track leading from William Pit to a spoil heap on the sea shore. The Cumbrian Coast Line runs between the metal palisade fences.
