Summary

| Description |
English: Reigate Tunnel. This tunnel is of great historical importance, being the earliest road tunnel built in Britain (and possibly Europe). It was built in 1823 by W Constable to avoid a detour round the Castle Mound in Reigate. It is around 50m long, bored through sandstone, and was used by vehicular traffic as recently as the 1970s, as part of the A217. Tolls were charged until 1856.
Traffic in Reigate now goes round a one way system, of which the Castle Mound forms the centre. For close up of the plaque on the portal, see 608851. |
