Seizing a rare opportunity to take a closer look at this tunnel which is of course full of traffic 364 days of the year but was closed on New Year's Eve. I've always been fond of the tunnel - and if you get the chance it's a lot of fun to cycle through!
Now for a bit of history:
Also known as the Kingsway Underpass, this tunnel links Waterloo Bridge with High Holborn. Opened in 1964 it occupies part of the space of the original Kingsway Tramway Subway, which was in service from 1906 until 1952 when London's tram network was closed down. Much of the rest of the tram subway still lies abandoned, but isn't accessible from this tunnel despite surrounding it.

Afgelopen week vond ik een flessenpost waar maar liefst tien brieven in zaten.
De meest recente datum die genoemd wordt is 6 februari 2015, dus de fles is een kleine maand onderweg geweest.
Het zijn brieven opgesteld door jonge mensen uit Groot-Brittannië.
In twee brieven wordt een leeftijd genoemd, 17 en 18 jaar oud, en slechts drie hebben hun naam op de brief geschreven.
De achtergrond van de flessenpost wordt niet helemaal duidelijk, een van de anonieme brieven heeft het over een flessenpost project.
Dat zal mogelijk het bespiegelende karakter van de meeste schrijfsels verklaren.
Ik vond nog niet eerder een flessenpost met zoveel brieven, en zulke bijzondere, aardige, roerende, leuke en zorgwekkende berichten. Ze zijn onder in de reactieruimte te lezen.
Mijn Anke is voornemens de brieven te beantwoorden, maar eerst moet ik op zoek naar een volledig adres.
Ik vond een Bethany uit Folkstone op Facebook, en die heb ik een berichtje gestuurd.
