'World's oldest railway tunnel' awarded protected status

What is believed to be the world's oldest railway tunnel - dating from 1793 - has been given protected status.

Fritchley Tunnel was built as part of the Butterley Gangroad, a horse-operated railway linking the Cromford Canal with quarries at Crich.
