Woolwich Foot Tunnel was opened by Lord Cheylesmore, Chairman of the LCC, on Saturday 26 October 1912. It was designed by Sir Maurice Fitzmaurice and built by Walter Scott & Middleton for London County Council. Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC’s Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, would later serve as Labour MP for Woolwich.

North Woolwich station (terminus of the line from Stratford) is ahead. The trolleybus off to the left is on Route 669 from Stratford Broadway; the bus is on Route 101 from Wanstead. Note the doors opened on some cars for a breath of fresh air - no air-conditioning in those days. The conversion to a roll-on/roll-off vehicle service in 1963 reduced waiting times.
