The Hoffman kiln tunnel, located beneath the historic Cromford and High Peak Railway in Buxton, is a remarkable example of industrial heritage. This underground structure was integral to the operation of the Hoffman kiln, a continuous kiln design used primarily for brick and tile manufacturing in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its position beneath the railway highlights the innovative integration of transportation and industrial processes during the height of the Industrial Revolution. Today, the tunnel stands as a testament to the engineering ingenuity of the era and offers valuable insights into the region’s rich industrial past.
