  • The new Channel Tunnel rail terminal under construction in the Kent countryside at Folkestone in 1989. A workman walks over part of the structure that will in the future, take the Eurostar and Shuttle trains through this portal underneath the town of Folkestone and on beneath the English Channel to the French coast. The technique is known as cut and cover. Eleven tunnel boring machines cut through chalk marl to construct two rail tunnels and a service tunnel. Tunnelling commenced in 1988, and the tunnel began operating in 1994. In 1985 prices, the total construction cost was £4.650 billion (equivalent to £11 billion today), an 80% cost overrun. At the peak of construction 15,000 people were employed with daily expenditure over £3 million. Ten workers were killed during construction between 1987 and 1993, most in the first few months of boring.

  • An engineer working underground during construction of the Heathrow Express train project on behalf of Heathrow airport operator BAA (British Airport Authority), London England. While standing erect, he twists a high-tension tool that secures the concrete sleepers to the steel rails using a Pandrol Clip. The tunnel snakes its way into the distance behind him, lit by temporary lighting on the 5-mile tunnel wall. Its sections are reinforced concrete, shaped for the Heathrow Express electric Siemens-built trains that provide a direct link between Heathrow's terminals and Paddington station in central London. This is now the most expensive rail-mile fare in the UK at £15.50 for a 15-minute journey. In 1994 one tunnel collapsed without warning in one of the most catastrophic civil engineering disasters in British history.

  • British and French customs officials shake hands during the ceremony to open the Channel Tunnel in Kent, on the UK side. As proof of Anglo-french relations between the two European states, an Entente Cordiale exists in this theatrical joke about bureaucracy between France and Britain. It symbolises the controls on human traffic that will soon pass through the tunnel beneath the sea between England and France, the first physical link between these two land masses since the Ice Age.

  • A theatrical joke about bureaucracy between French and British comedians at an event to mark the opening of the Channel Tunnel produces this quirky scene where each country's officials are seated at a long table, dressed in British flags, to symbolise the controls on human traffic that will soon pass through the tunnel beneath the sea between England and France, the first physical link between these two land masses since the Ice Age. Wearing smart uniforms, French immigration police and Gendarmes sit among British customs and immigration officials who, rather comically wear yellow hard hats because Health and Safety laws make the wearing of protective headgear compulsory on construction sites. A frontier control point notice stands for the benefit of viewers who might otherwise be guessing what is going on.

  • Peering through a hole in the huge metal door of an old Victorian tunnel, two children stand on the place where a railway once emerged from this brick entrance - a link between nearby Dulwich and the Crystal Palace. Now the London Wildlife Trust maintains this once-wild wood at Sydenham, South London, England, which has reverted to forest again, 40 years after (one of the first the electrified railways) line fell silent. The brother and sister look through to see if there is light at the end of this tunnel but it has long been bricked up, sealed to deter vandals and danger to all. It is Autumn and the leaves on the beech and oak trees are about to fall, adding to the already organic deep forest floor. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released

  • Blurred travellers on the escalator in an inter-terminal tunnel at Chicago-O'Hare airport, Illinois, USA. As the travelling escalator makes its way along the tunnel, colours and shapes blur except for a lone figure coming the other way, en-route to a departure or arrival gate in the public domain area of the airport hub, one of the largest airport in the United States, and 12 months before the terrorist attacks on America that changed the public's attitude to flying on commercial airliners.

  • A Post Office employee hauls a cart full of post onto the station platform on the Mail Rail system. The Post Office Railway, also known as Mail Rail, was a narrow-gauge driverless underground railway in London, built by the Post Office with assistance from the Underground Electric Railways Company of London, to move mail between sorting offices. Inspired by the Chicago Tunnel Company it operated from 3 December 1927 until 31 May 2003. It ran east-west from Paddington Head District Sorting Office in the west to the Eastern Office at Whitechapel in the east, a distance of 6.5 miles (10.5 km). It had eight stations, the largest of which was underneath Mount Pleasant, but by 2003 only three stations remained in use because the sorting offices above the other stations had been relocated.

  • High up in the picture, two employees (one in traditional Arab clothes, the other in western dress) of Bahrain International Airport stand on the edge of a passenger 'air bridge' to oversee the departure of an airliner at Bahrain International Airport as it is pushed back by an unseen airport vehicle. It is night time and the ramp (or aircraft parking tarmac) is illuminated by yellow artificial light with the bridge itself, lit my overhead fluorescent tubes that give a blue-green tint above the mens' heads who watch the nose of a departing airliner. It is slowly taken backwards on its way to the runway take-off  position with its passengers on-board. We see only the fuselage, wings and part of its engine cowlings but not the undercarriage wheels, nor the ground itself. The men look as if they are floating in mid-air, being disembodied from the rest of the airfield's equipment.

  • Thames Water Utilities sewer cleaning team inspects the Fleet River's Victorian-built storm sewer of Blackfriars, beneath the streets of the City of London. Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men are shovel the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with the The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles (720 km) of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles (21,000 km) of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • An aerial landscape at the Dartford Bridge crossing of dated 1990 before the completion of London's newest Thames river crossing - the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. Already used are the toll booths taking much-needed toll fees from motorists as they emerge from the pre-existing Dartford Tunnel (1963). The Bridge is a 137 m (449 ft) high and 812 m (2,664 ft) long cable-stayed road bridge across the River Thames in south east England. It was opened in 1991 by Queen Elizabeth II. It is the southbound element of the Dartford Crossing, a strategic congestion charged road crossing the half mile wide river east of London. It was built alongside two earlier tunnels under the Thames, which now form the northbound element of the crossing. Upon completion, the bridge was Europe's largest cable-supported bridge.

  • A fence warns walkers to this part of the ancient woodland habitat in Sydenham Hill Woods, on 18th November 2020, in London, England. Once part of the Nunhead to Crystal Palace (High Level) railway which once passed through this flat part of Sydenham Hill Woods, its track bed can be followed to a disused and closed tunnel which is now a registered bat roost. Sydenham Hill Wood forms part of the largest remaining tract of the old Great North Wood, a vast area of worked coppices and wooded commons that once stretched across south London. The habitat is home to more than 200 species of trees and plants as well as rare fungi, insects, birds and woodland mammals.

  • Angry residents from Kent march over the river Thames and past Parliament to protest over the planned high-speed (TGV-style) rail link from London to the south-east coast, on 5th August 1989, in London, England. Locals from the Darenth Valley in rural Kent, against the forthcoming Channel Tunnel rail link organised their own campaign to reverse decisions by British Rail to cut a new rail link through their community. British Rail announced that 150mph TGV trains would travel through their rural Kent countryside, forcing residents to sell their homes within a 240 metre corridor to the rail line, at great loss while splitting up the community.

  • A bright, new blue office chair incongruously left in a street with stained Victorian brickwork of a tunnel, in the London district of Clerkenwell. Set against the poverty of the road arch brick, we see contemporary modern office furniture and a previous 19th century era.
