The Thames Tunnel
The Thames Tunnel is an underwater tunnel, running beneath the River Thames connecting Rotherhithe and Wapping, built between 1825 and 1843. It was originally designed for horse-drawn carriages but instead was used by pedestrians and became a tourist attraction. In 1869 it was converted into a railway tunnel as part of the East London line which, since 2010, is part of the London Overground railway network under the ownership of Transport for London

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Thames Tunnel, an engineering marvel of the 19th century, is depicted in this photograph. Running beneath the iconic River Thames, this underwater tunnel connects the historic districts of Rotherhithe and Wapping. Constructed between 1825 and 1843, the tunnel was originally designed as a passageway for horse-drawn carriages. However, due to its unique allure, it soon became a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from far and wide to experience the novelty of walking through an underwater tunnel. The tunnel's rich history is steeped in innovation and perseverance. Despite numerous challenges during its construction, including financial difficulties and engineering obstacles, it was eventually completed, making it the world's first underwater tunnel for both road and rail traffic. In 1869, the tunnel was converted into a railway tunnel, becoming a vital part of the East London line. Since 2010, it has been a cherished component of the London Overground railway network, owned and operated by Transport for London. This photograph captures the essence of the Thames Tunnel's enduring appeal, showcasing its historical significance and the ingenuity of its creators. The intricate brickwork and the dimly lit passageways evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, transporting us back in time to an era of groundbreaking engineering achievements.
