This tunnel is about half a mile
long, and can be accessed in four places. The pipes carried water, and
were also used to supply the railway with water for steam engines.
They were built at the same time that Ramsgate train depot was under
construction, and running the pipes underground meant that maintenance
to the pipes would not cause disruption to the railway above. A lot of
the tunnel is cut and covered, although some Victorian brickwork still
remains.
This site has now been demolished
