Caption: The Brunel Museum Access Shaft
Additional Description: This is the actual vertical access shaft constructed in 1825 to enable workers to erect the tunnelling shield and dig the horizontal tunnel under the Thames. The London Tube runs directly under the shaft, in the original tunnel. The museum’s theater is at the bottom, the floor only a few feet above the trains.
