North entrance, Blackwall Tunnel, London, 20th Century.
North entrance, Blackwall Tunnel, London, 20th Century. Designed by the London County Council's chief engineer Alexander Binnie (1839-1917), the Blackwall Tunnel beneath the Thames opened in 1897. The latest techniques were used in its construction, including the employment of James Henry Greathead's (1844-1896) tunnelling shield. The tunnel was lined with glazed white brick and lit by electric light. It had two lanes for wheeled traffic and footpaths for pedestrians. Postcard from The Souvenir Album, Views of London And The River Thames, From London To Oxford, (London, 20th Century).
