Search for Bullo Pill Hidden Rail Tunnel
When the merchants in the Royal Forest of Dean wanted to expand their customer base, they looked towards the river Severn for transportation to new markets. The roads at the time were not up to the job so they invested in a new fangled system known as a tramway. Like a railway tramways need a fairly level surface with moderate grades, which means that if a hill is encountered, the options are to cut it open or tunnel through it.
Eventually the problems of the dock at this point on the river forced a move farther downstream to Lydney and the dock became a backwater. Meanwhile Mr Isambard Kingdom Brunel got involved in the tramway converting it to a railway, said to be one of his most challenging projects to date. This involves a tunnel hunt, which initially had disastrous results, but as shown in the subsequent film, eventual success. Sit back and enjoy a walk through history.
