Commentary


Le Tunnel sous la Tamise est un tunnel sous-fluvial passant sous la Tamise, à Londres. Il est large d'environ 11 mètres, haut d'environ 6 mètres et long d'environ 396 mètres.
Construit entre 1825 et 1843 grâce à la technique du tunnelier récemment inventée par le comte Thomas Cochrane et Marc Isambart Brunel, il est le premier tunnel connu à avoir été construit sous une rivière navigable.
Il est transformé en tunnel ferroviaire pour être intégré en 1869 à l'East London Railway, composante du Métro de Londres à partir de 1933, puis du London Overground depuis 2011.
Il ne doit pas confondu avec le tunnel de Rotherhithe (en), ouvrage routier situé à environ 500 mètres en aval.
The Thames Tunnel is a river tunnel under the River Thames in London. It is approximately 11 metres wide, approximately 6 metres high and approximately 396 metres long. Built between 1825 and 1843 using the tunnel boring machine technique recently invented by Count Thomas Cochrane and Marc Isambart Brunel, it is the first known tunnel to have been built under a navigable river. It was converted into a railway tunnel and incorporated in 1869 into the East London Railway, which became part of the London Underground in 1933 and became part of the London Overground in 2011. It should not be confused with the Rotherhithe Tunnel, a road structure located approximately 500 metres downstream.

Historical background


GREAT-BRITAIN - VICTORIA

(20/06/1837-22/01/1901)

Victoria (1819-1901) was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, and granddaughter of George III. She succeeded her uncle Guillaume IV in 1837 and married her cousin Albert, Prince of Saxe-Coburg in 1840, against her mother's advice. She had nine children by him but became a widow in 1861. While respecting the rules of the parliamentary system, she tried to impose her views in the field of foreign affairs. Her favourite, Disraeli, had her given the title of Empress of India in 1876. Respected and loved, active and authoritarian, Victoria appeared in her time as the symbol of imperialist England. His reign marks the height of British power.
