In this episode my pal and Senior Librarian for Local Studies and Research in Leeds Libraries Louise Birch, takes us on a tumultuous journey through the construction of the Bramhope Railway Tunnel.

Louise wrote an excellent blogpost condensing the research in 2019 : https://secretlibraryleeds.net/2019/04/26/bramhope-tunnel-conquering-the-ridge/

Leeds photograph archive Leodis, has several images of the tunnel:
