Isambard Kingdom Brunel: Tunnels
built 654 days ago
Most of Brunel's bridges are still in use, either as rail routes or converted to motor traffic. The Thames Tunnel is now part of the London Underground, and the Brunel Engine House at Rotherhithe that once housed the steam engines that powered the tunnel pumps still stands – as a museum dedicated to the work and lives of Marc and Isambard Brunel.

The Miners' Cage on the Rotherhithe shaft is a bas relief picture of Brunel's famous Shield. It is built in wood and ceramic by local children and shows how the tunnel was built. Brunel's blue plaque is to the right

There is an anecdote which states that Box Tunnel is placed such that the sun shines all the way through it on Brunel's birthday. For more information, see the entry on the tunnel[18].
