Thames Tunnel construction,19th century
Thames Tunnel construction. 19th-century artwork of a cross-section of the tunnelling shield used to construct the Thames Tunnel,designed by Marc Isambard Brunel and his son Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The shield consists of twelve frames (3 men in each,36 in total) which were moved forward independently,supporting the side of the tunnel while allowing bricklayers to construct the lining (see C019/4623). Construction began in 1825,and the 406-metre long pedestrian tunnel opened in 1843. It passed under the River Thames,linking the London suburbs of Wapping and Rotherhithe. From 1865 the tunnel was used by trains. This artwork dates from 1828
