EDITORS COMMENTS
Miners at work on the construction of the Rotherhithe Tunnel, Bermondsey, London, February 1907. This print captures a significant moment in London's history as bare-chested miners toil away on the construction of the iconic Rotherhithe Tunnel. The tunnel, which connects Tower Hamlets with Southwark under the River Thames, stands as a testament to engineering prowess and human determination. In this image, two sections of the shield are visible, showcasing these brave men hard at work deep underground. Their muscular frames and sweat-drenched brows speak volumes about their dedication to their craft. With tools in hand and coal dust clinging to their skin, they epitomize the grit and resilience that characterized early 20th-century laborers. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when London was rapidly expanding its infrastructure through ambitious projects like this tunnel. It highlights not only the physicality required for such endeavors but also pays homage to those who played vital roles behind-the-scenes. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery for over a century now, this photograph serves as a reminder of our city's rich industrial heritage. It immortalizes these anonymous working-class heroes whose efforts helped shape modern-day London.
