The Severn Tunnel: Its Construction and Difficulties, 1872-1887

The Severn Tunnel: Its Construction and Difficulties, 1872-1887 After completion, the Severn Tunnel remained the longest rail tunnel in Britain for over a century. Reissued here is the 1890 second edition of contractor Thomas Walkers first-hand account of the problematic construction of this Victorian engineering triumph. Walker admits that building one sub-aqueous tunnel is quite enough for a lifetime. Autor: Thomas A.
