Now you're getting warmer. Not quite chalk, but a form of limestone.

Was it a tunnel to mine chalk or a tunnel for access?

Not Pollhill tunnel. The sides of the tunnel have waste from subsequent tunneling deposited in them, you can see it on either side. The tunnel was never higher than this. Hint: the tunnels were not used for transport or mineral extraction. The tunnel shown is early-mid 19thC.

Do tell.
I'm afraid current photos are out unless you'd be happy with my chery, my magnolia, my holly etc. I'm "at risk of severe illness" so am housebound till the summer. Here's one I culled from a book.
