Resumo
One of a Series of Photographs by Henry Flather Showing the Construction, Undertaken between 1866 and 1870, of the Metropolitan District Railway's (MDR) Underground Lines between Paddington and Blackfriars Via Kensington. The Line Laid by the MDR from the 1860s Onwards Was Designed to Provide a Rail Connection for Travellers between London's Mainline Railway Terminals, Situated in a Ring around the City Centre. It Now Forms Part of the Existing District and Circle Lines on the London Underground. The Construction Work, Utilising the 'Cut and Cover' Technique, Caused Much Disruption to London Neighbourhoods. This View Shows a Concrete Arch under Construction above the Stretch of Track between Gloucester Road and Earls Court. Science Museum Library / Science & Society Picture Library. Photographer: Henry Flather.
