Greenwich Foot Tunnel Second World War Damage Repair plaque
Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Greenwich Foot Tunnel Second World War Damage Repair plaque erected by Royal Borough of Greenwich in 2016. "Second World War Bomb Damage Repair This short length of the tunnel was repaired following bomb damage that occurred on the first night of the Blitz on 7 and 8 September 1940 during the Second World War. The damage resulted in the tunnel being closed immediately for repairs to stop leaks and potential flooding. Had the tunnel been more severely damaged, the resulting closure would have had a major long-term impact on travel across the river. As the tunnel formed a much-relied-upon cross-river link connecting housing in the south and the industry and docks in the north, it was an essential part of the war effort. Preliminary repairs to stem the inflow of water were successful. By early 1941 the repairs had been completed and the tunnel fully reopened to the public. The repairs included the exposed metal ring segment lining which you can see here today." |
