The pipe at Long Rock

Many memories of this pipe - walking along the top as the tide was coming in, the feeling of hot metal on my feet. Back then the beach would run right back up to the level crossing. I have some photos but they are quite blurry. When was this pipe put in place? The concrete is wearing away quite rapidly now.
There are nine land drain routes along here, I am unsure as to whether they were excavated for the relief of the mine workings or for agriculture; I would imagine the piped routes were placed when the railway was constructed.
