An Engineering Marvel - Retaining Compressed Air in Rotherhithe Tunnel, London, October 1906
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the remarkable construction of the Rotherhithe Tunnel. Standing inside this engineering marvel, we witness a group of dedicated workmen by hatches, ready to tackle their challenging task. The Rotherhithe Tunnel, connecting Tower Hamlets with Southwark under the mighty River Thames, was an ambitious project that required innovative techniques. The bulkhead featured in this image played a crucial role in retaining compressed air within the tunnel during its construction. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we explore this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense efforts undertaken by these men who tirelessly worked underground. Their occupation demanded skill and bravery as they navigated through dimly lit stairways and winding tunnels day after day. Behind these walls lies not only concrete but also history - a collaboration between various councils including LCC (London County Council) and GLC (Greater London Council). This photograph serves as an invaluable record preserved at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery today. Let us appreciate the unsung heroes captured here – unknown faces representing countless workers who contributed to shaping our modern world. This image transports us back to an era when craftsmanship met innovation deep beneath London's bustling streets.
