The Severn Tunnel: Its Construction and Difficulties, 1872–1887 - Cambridge Library Collection - Technology
Thomas A. Walker
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 Walker's 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'.
