This photograph print, taken on the 8th of July, 1837, offers a rare glimpse into the past as it documents the construction progress of Kilsby Tunnel, an integral part of the Midland Railway in Britain. The tunnel, which stretches for approximately 1,200 yards (1,097 meters), was a remarkable engineering feat during the Victorian era, symbolizing the country's commitment to advancing transportation infrastructure.
