  • Roker pier tunnel

    After seeing the rescue on Roker pier at the weekend I was amazed to see that the tunnel was still in use. I knew it was there but did not think it was working. Does anyone know much about it ? Like is it lit or can it only be used by torchlight ? Is it dry inside or is it partly flooded, it is well below the water level when the tide is in.
