Framed Print of Cutting through 1, 140 foot high Manshead Hill was completed when the Mayor of Wakefield
Cutting through 1, 140 foot high Manshead Hill was completed when the Mayor of Wakefield, Alderman Nathan Hutchinson J.P. fired the two final charges to complete the tunnel. 24 men have worked day and night cutting the tunnel, 8000 feet long, often waist deep in water, The conditions have been most difficult, but the men cheered as they were congratulated by the Mayor. The bogy which took him 4, 000 feet into the tunnel came off the track on the return journey, so Mr Hutchinson had to splash through the water which flowed through the tunnel. The tunnel will ensure adequate water supplies to people of Wakefield and the surrounding area. 21st August 1962. © Mirrorpix
