EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures London County Council's groundbreaking invention, a remarkable machine specifically designed to tackle the cleaning of glazed brick linings in the iconic Blackwall and Rotherhithe tunnels. Dating back to November 17th, 1963, this technological marvel revolutionized tunnel maintenance during the vibrant era of the 1960s. With its boom and heads expertly set at precise angles, this ingenious contraption was driven through the length of the tunnel. Its purpose? To meticulously clean a six-foot-wide strip along both directions, ensuring that every inch of brick surface regained its former glory. The efficiency of this innovation meant that only four trips were required to cleanse all the brickwork within these historic tunnels. This image showcases not only an extraordinary piece of engineering but also highlights England's commitment to progress and development during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from our past, it becomes evident how crucial transportation infrastructure was for Londoners in their daily lives. While gazing upon this photograph by Heanly from Memory Lane Prints, one cannot help but appreciate how far we have come since then. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks like cleaning can be transformed through human ingenuity and dedication to improving our surroundings.
