Gallery Description

This is a total film report, the digi shots were lit just the same, but I prefer the film shots colour tones, so here you go...

Silvertown Station, probably the most modern abandoned station I've come across before. The big industry on the right is Tate & Lyle on the northern bank of the river Thames.
Walking down into the tunnel. This twin train tunnel actually goes underneath Victoria & Albert Dock in Londons east end.
"I love tunnels!" - the brickwork ain't nowhere near as fine as some of bazeljettes brick lined & ribbed pleasure hole numbers, but someone sure liked it! The lights in the distance aren't internal lights, there just escaped bursts from the flashgun, exposure was a minute or so.
TWINS! - Someone told me the reason this most central part of the tunnel is smaller, twined & lined with cast iron is because larger ships using the Albert dock (directly above) where scrapping the top of the tunnel with their keals!
Making my exit the same way I came in. THe other side of the tunnel leads out onto the very live docklands light railway (DLR) and there was a hefty team of workers just a few metres up the incline so thought it best not to approach them whilst standing with rail tracks between my feet!


I didn't keep any digi shots as they weren't that interesting, very flat looking, and theres not many as the tunnel itself isn't very long, maybe 600m or so (thats actually a tunnel, the rest is just casson/ditch). Glad I did it though, another london explore ticked off the list.
As usual high res examples on my flickR & more of a similar theme.
