1908 archway at the rotherhithe entrance to the tunnel, made with part of a tunnelling shield. you can still walk or cycle down here if you've lungs of steel, though I'd not recommend it to a friend.

view down the tunnel from the western end. built between 1814-18 by the canal's own engineer james morgan, and opened in 1820 with brass bands and cannon fire. at 960 yards I think that this is the longest canal tunnel in london, and probably the longest still in use in the south east. there's no tow path, barges had to be legged through originally by bargees lying on top and walking against the roof.

detail of thomas blashill's 1895 entrance to the tunnel. one of the coats of arms is the white horse of kent, the one on the left is generally supposed to be surrey council, but actually represents the arms of the town of guildford, probably a mistake. essex and middlesex were on the demolished northern gatehouse.
