The tunnel ran from the docks (Bathurst Basin) to Temple Meads.
Redcliffe Tunnel is 260 yards long and it’s construction involved the demolition of a vicarage and the removal and re-internment of a graveyard at Arnos Vale cemetery. Designed by Charles Richardson, it was a double track tunnel that formed part of the Bristol Harbourside Railway. It opened in 1872 and closed in 1964 after the Redliffe goods yard closed in 1962.
