    Tunnel history

    The Victoria Tunnel runs beneath the city from the Town Moor down to the Tyne. It was built in 1842 to transport coal from Leazes Main Colliery to riverside staithes (jetties) ready for loading onto ships. In 1939, it was converted into an air-raid shelter to protect hundreds of Newcastle citizens during World War II. A programme of repairs in 2007-8 was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the TyneWear Partnership, and part of the Tunnel is now open to the public.

  • Tour times

    We offer at least seven public tours each week, with additional public, group and school visits.

  • Walks and talks

    A programme of summer walks as well as self-guided walks to explore the heritage of the Ouseburn Valley.
