The Victoria Tunnel is a historic underground tunnel located in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. The tunnel was originally constructed in the early 19th century as a means of transporting coal from the mines to the river Tyne for export. However, during World War II, the tunnel was repurposed as an air raid shelter to protect the citizens of Newcastle from bombing raids.
The tunnel is approximately 2.5 miles long and runs from the Ouseburn Valley to the Quayside area of Newcastle. It is made of brick and stone and is approximately 6 feet high and 7 feet wide. The tunnel has a series of arches and is supported by pillars, which were added during the war to strengthen the structure.
Today, the Victoria Tunnel is open to the public for guided tours. Visitors can explore the tunnel and learn about its history, including its use as an air raid shelter during the war. The tour takes approximately 90 minutes and includes a walk through the tunnel, as well as a visit to the original air raid shelter.
The Victoria Tunnel is a unique and fascinating piece of Newcastle's history. It offers visitors a glimpse into the city's past and the challenges faced by its citizens during times of war. The tunnel is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in history or architecture, and is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of Newcastle.
Only a 15-minute walk from Newcastle’s shopping and nightlife, Premier Inn Millennium Bridge is also only a few minutes' walk from the bars and restaurants at Quayside.
