The tunnel is listed for sale on the ‘Find me some Government space’ website, which has been launched in order to assist the disposal of vacant Government-owned property. The property has been described as 13.8m2 of ‘surplus land’ and includes the Harecastle tunnel and land.
Only public bodies that agree to take up strict maintenance obligations will be considered. North Staffordshire Railway built the tunnel in 1848 and it remained in use for more than 100 years.
