EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from December 1987 takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the beginning of the monumental Channel Tunnel project. Standing proudly on the cliffs, we see Graham Fagg, the man entrusted with commencing this groundbreaking endeavor. With a telescope in hand, he gazes into the distance, envisioning what lies ahead. Accompanying him is foreman Mike Scott, both men exuding determination and expertise as they prepare to descend into the depths of this subterranean world. The tunnel's controls are within reach for Fagg, symbolizing his role as an orchestrator of progress and innovation. The image captures not only their individual resolve but also highlights the immense scale of this engineering feat. The vastness of underground construction looms before them; it is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Bill Rowntree skillfully immortalizes this historic moment through his lens, allowing us to witness these pioneers who dared to venture beneath land and sea. Their unwavering commitment paved the way for future generations' connectivity between England and France. As we reflect upon this photograph today, let us appreciate how far we have come since that chilly December day in 1987 when two men stood at its inception point – ready to embark on an extraordinary journey towards uniting nations through tunnels carved deep within our earth's core.
