The Rat Hole

Greenwich Foot Tunnel, London, England

 

Always love reworking an old photo, I really hate the way I edited this image a few years ago compared to this, I suppose our tastes as photographers are always changing from what we photograph to how we edit.

 

Would you agree with this?

 

I feel my editing has certainly changed over the last few years to a point where I am happy and am always keen to revisit photos that I took years ago.

 

This tunnel is very well documented on Flickr but I can see why it is so popular with photographers. I love the grittiness and the mix clean shiny tiles with the dirty worn ones. The converging lines are always appealing to me :-)

 

Location Information

The Greenwich Foot Tunnel crosses beneath the River Thames in East London, linking Greenwich (Royal Borough of Greenwich) in the south with the Isle of Dogs (London Borough of Tower Hamlets) to the north.

 

The 'Friends of Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels' (FOGWOFT) was established in September 2013.[1] Following encouragement from FOGWOFT and information from the Institution of Civil Engineers, on 5 July 2016 an interpretative plaque was unveiled near the tunnel's Greenwich entrance by the deputy leader of Royal Borough of Greenwich council.
