The Brunel's Tunnel by The Brunel Museum

The Brunel Museum's beautifully produced book tells the fascinating story of the cargo tunnel's construction and survival as a banquet hall, shopping arcade, fairground, and underground railway line.

A treat for all those interested in the Brunels and the history of London.

“So they built a shopping arcade under the Thames and in 1852 an underwater fair, where by the light of Boggett’s patent Prismatic Reflectors visitors could enjoy watching Mr. Green the celebrated Bottle Pantomimic Equilibrist or dance to music of the Montreal Minstrels in an underground Ballroom.”
