Thames Tunnel
Built between 1825 and 1843 the Thames Tunnel linking Rotherhithe and Wapping was the first to pass below a navigable river. When upgrading the line, LU had planned to reinforce all arches with concrete but this was strongly resisted by heritage bodies. The compromise was to leave four arches at the Rotherhithe end in original condition and concrete the rest.
