Product Information
Of constant interest to Londoners is what goes on beneath their feet, be it Roman remains, lost rivers transformed into water drains, underground railways, hydraulic railways, secret and abandoned tunnels, vast water mains and, not least, the great 19th-century sewage system that dramatically improved the health of the city.
There are many other less well-known tunnels and pipelines, some constructed during the war, either for public safety or the war-effort; and they have been added to during the post-war years of the Cold War. The biggest tunnel project of recent years, the Jubilee line and the new water ring main, are also fully covered in this well-illustrated book.
