Does anyone remember the old cable car system? If so can someone please tell me what the purpose was of the tunnel that went under burnley road (just below where it was) which used to start behind the garages off Woodside road in Huncoat. When I was about 9 0r 10 I followed it and it brought me out in a field just off Burnley road where there was a cave in, it looked like it went on further, but I can't see any exit. This was a proper tunnel not a culvert. It was an arch made from Accy brick. The enterance behind the garages has since been built upon.
