Product Description

The exciting early days of the railways were tempered with danger, as the Victorian concept of health & safety was rather different to ours.

Going ‘into the dark’ was a frightening experience & tunneling under the ground & under water was a death-defying activity in nineteenth-century Britain – many workers & travellers paid the ultimate price.

Flooding, collapses & explosions, as well as malodorous air & illness, were just some of the challenges workers faced in order to make tunnels passable. Even once the tunnels had been completed, accidents were still frequent, whether collisions, derailments or fires.

In this fascinating history, Rosa Matheson explores the grim past of Britain’s well-known & lesser-known railway tunnel disasters, & how their ‘terror’ led to a safer future.
