Construction of the bridge approach to Rotherhithe Tunnel, Bermondsey, London, 1906
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to witness a remarkable engineering feat that shaped the cityscape of London. In this snapshot from 1906, we are transported to the bustling borough of Bermondsey where construction is underway for the southern approach to the iconic Rotherhithe Tunnel. The image showcases a momentous milestone in transportation history as workers diligently build a bridge across the East London Railway, connecting both sides of the River Thames. The scene is filled with activity as laborers maneuver through a maze of building materials and machinery on this monumental construction site. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and highlights every intricate detail captured by an unknown photographer. The towering buildings surrounding Brunel Road serve as witnesses to progress and innovation taking place during this era. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, it becomes evident that teamwork and ingenuity were at play here. This project was not only a testament to human determination but also a symbol of unity between various councils such as LCC (London County Council) and GLC (Greater London Council). Preserved within these frames lies not just bricks and mortar but also stories untold; tales woven into every beam laid down during those early years of the 20th century. It serves as a reminder that our modern landscape stands on foundations built by those who came before us - their legacy forever etched in images like these
