EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of excitement and innovation as Prince Wales formally opened the new underground electric railway in London on November 8, 1890. The three-mile and quarter-long railway, which passed under the Thames and connected King William Street in the City to the Borough, Elephant and Castle, and Stockwell, was a groundbreaking achievement in public transportation. The Prince's presence added an air of importance and prestige to the occasion, drawing large crowds to witness the event. The City and South London Railway, which provided the service, was the world's first deep-level underground railway, using electric power to propel its trains. The railway's opening marked a significant milestone in London's transportation history, reducing travel times and making the city more accessible for its growing population. Passing under the Thames was a particularly impressive feat, as it required the construction of a tunnel through the riverbed. The railway's tunnels were also notable for their deep depth, with some stretches reaching up to 21 meters below ground level. The photograph shows the Prince of Wales standing on a platform, surrounded by dignitaries and officials, as he prepares to cut the ribbon to officially open the railway. The train, adorned with banners and decorations, is visible in the background, ready to transport its first passengers through the new underground network. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the excitement and anticipation surrounding the opening of the world's first deep-level underground railway. It is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the engineers and entrepreneurs who made it possible, and a reminder of the transformative impact that transportation innovations can have on a city and its people.
