Description
English: George & Anchor pub (site of) Cow Court, Rotherhithe, London, SE16 This was recorded from 1757 until 1820 and had an early name of the 'Six Decanters'. Today the street shown is Tunnel Road and the immediate area is quite historical :- 1825 Sir Marc Brunel commenced the building of the Thames Tunnel : 1826 his son, Isambard,took over the project : 1828 building stopped due to lack of cash : 1836 building re commenced : 1842 tunnel opened for pedestrians by Queen Victoria : 1869 tunnel closed to pedestrians when bought by the East London Railways : 1875 first train travelled along the tunnel : 1884 first train stopped at Rotherhithe. Building shown is the original pump house for the project and to its right is the original air shaft. All this and the 'graft' starting in Rotherhithe and the Queen opens it at the north end !! The machine in the image is purely 'decoration' as it is and electrically driven pump used in the docks from 1929 until 1969.
