Overview

(See more pictures by linking to full story below)

Archaeologists have discovered a 220-year-old railway tunnel believed to be the oldest in the world.

The historic Fritchley Tunnel, in Crich, Derbyshire, can be traced back to 1793, two years earlier than the previous record holder.

The discovery was made after they linked the tunnel to a now-defunct railway, used by industrialists to transport limestone to an ironwork factory.
