Opened 1834? The Wapping (or Edge Hill) tunnels into Liverpool dug for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway which opened in 1830, and over a mile long, appears to predate your little secret tunnel. If you do a bit of research on the Cornish tin and copper mining or the China clay industries, you will find many tunnels in existence during the 18th Century.
