i got took off under the tunnel a few month back at high tide waves started washing over and couldnt get off by the time i packed up, the tunnel is about 7-8foot tall and around 6-7foot wide i was very dark muddy and wet lol probablys 1and a half foot deep of water but on a huge sea it will fill up more the coastguard told me there had seen it shoulder deep after a massive sea and he was around six foot,

Ha haa, like BA Baraccus! Pity the fool mtf, nobody gunna get me in no tunnel. They should open it up and charge a toll for the hardnuts when the seas away

[SteveG]

Lol yeah bit like that

Charges for entry could be used to fix crumbling fishing marks you might be on to something there 🎅lol

hope some anglers don't think that because there is a tunnel there they can go on whatever the conditions and if they get into trouble someone will come and escort them off

[tich]

Do, ?

Do any other piers have tunnels ? I have heard thers a tunnel from S.T Marys Island & the shore,

I remember my old man and me going into a tunnel under Seaham north pier when I was a nipper (this was back in the early 1980's when the old railway tunnels around the docks were still accessible); can't remember how far along the pier it went the entrance was from the side of the pier where the little beach is in the harbour

The entrance used to be in the wall below where the gates are now. It ran all the way to the lighthouse. It was always shin deep in sea water and there were rumours of rats lol.

[OuTkast76]

cant find any pictures of it but was just reading that during WWII they stores torpedos and a launcher on or under the pier, also a german U boat was sunk by one of its own mines just off the pier, Bit of useless info oh and the tunnel is gas lit so i read

[Wee Ver]

Didn't know ther was a tunnel in the pier, is that wot it was originally built for to get people to n from the lighthouse in bad weather?

Tynemouth has a tunnel. You can see the doorway on the lower level at the end.
