Facts and practical information

Broomhouse Tunnel was on the Midland Main Line between Chesterfield and Sheffield. It was built by the Midland Railway in 1870 on what is known to railwaymen as the "New Road" to Sheffield. This bypassed the North Midland Railway's original line, which came to be known as "Old Road", and which had avoided Sheffield due to the gradients involved, see topographical map of the Sheffield area.
