... that Primrose Hill Tunnel was the first railway tunnel to be built in London?
- ALT1:... that the Italianate eastern portals of Primrose Hill Tunnel were a result of Eton College's desire to attract upmarket development to its estate in north London in the 1830s?
- ALT2:... that in 1835, the London and Birmingham Railway employed four doctors to visit Primrose Hill Tunnel and assure the public that it would be safe to travel through?

All checks are for the first hook - ALT1 seems a bit obscure, and ALT2 is less interesting than the first hook

Overall: The sourcing for File:Primrose Hill tunnels diagram.png needs to be clarified before this is passed - if this was created in 2021 as stated at Commons, it can't be PD under the criteria claimed. Presumably this is from an old OS map? Please ping me when this is fixed. Nick-D (talk) 23:39, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nick-D: I've made a little change to hopefully make the dates clearer. Is this fine? Rcsprinter123 (sing) 14:03, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
