Woolwich foot tunnel, northern access. 'The tunnel was designed by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and built by Walter Scott & Middleton for London County Council and opened by Lord Cheylesmore, Chairman of the LCC, on Saturday, 26 October 1912. Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks, who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC's Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, would later serve as Labour MP for Woolwich.' Wikipedia. It is 504 metres (1,654 ft) in length. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolwich_foot_tunnel |

Originally the Eastern Counties Railway (later Great Eastern) ferry pier to take passengers from North Woolwich to the south side of the river, from soon after the passenger service to the station started in 1847. The ferry service stopped in 1908, but the pier was retained for pleasure traffic and passed to the LNER in 1923. I don't have any information as to when the tug company took over the pier. |
