Completed as a foot tunnel in 1843, it was converted to a railway tunnel for the East London Railway in the 1860s. Constructed in 1825-1843, it is still used by the London Underground today. Isambard Kingdom Brunel acted as site engineer. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © Ann Ronan Picture Library / Heritage-Images
