 Possibly bricked in entrance to rail tunnel |

I'm not aware of any railway in this part of Sidmouth, nor what purpose it could have served if it had been there. Is it more likely to be either a natural formation, or possibly a bricked up cave? There's no trace in recent photographs of Sidmouth that I've seen - the cliff has been eroded in that area by storms in 2012, I understand. |

The tunnel was built in about 1825 to transport rock from Hook Ebb to build the proposed harbour - which did not proceed (tunnel was too small for the steam engine that was delivered!) |
