Tunnel boring machine being used in the western Dartford-Purfleet tunnel (1936). This was a compressed air driven pilot tunnel - the main tunnelling work would not take place until 20 years later.

A map a day for the month of May Political map of the County of London (1930). That section of Woolwich north of the Thames, surrounded by Essex was quite an interesting anomaly. The borough had inherited these two exclaves from Kent when the borders of the new County of London had been drawn up in 1888. They continued to make no sense whatsoever until 1965 when the arrival of the Greater London Council abolished them, assigning them to Newham.

This early map by Lea in 1690 shows the marshy banks of the River Thames. The north bank is solid marsh from Silvertown to Tilbury. Much of the south bank is too, but this has not been depicted so much by the cartographer.

1756 map of the proposed route of the New Road - in particular here both Euston Road and Pentonville Road. From the small cluster of buildings at Tottenham Court (today’s Warren Street station), two parallel dotted lines mark the future route of Euston Road to Battle Bridge (King’s Cross). Then the dotted lines continue as Pentonville Road - since they are traversing the land owned by Henry Penton - to the Angel, Islington. They had been an alternative route proposed - the other set of dotted lines

This map is an mid Victorian London overview best seen on a desktop computer rather than a phone - you’ll be able to zoom into your favourite area of London in reasonable detail. The original is in much better definition which I will publish sections of at some point in the future.

London Cabmen (1877) From ’Street Life in London’, 1877, by John Thomson and Adolphe Smith: "Despite the traditional hoarse voice, rough appearance, and quarrelsome tone, cab-drivers are as a rule reliable and honest men, who can boast of having fought the battle of life in an earnest, persevering, and creditable manner. Let me take, for instance, the career, as related by himself, of the cab-driver who furnishes the subject of the accompanying illustration. He began life in the humble capacity of pot-boy in his uncle’s public-house, but abandoned this opening in consequence of a dispute, and ultimately obtained an engagement as conductor from the Metropolitan Tramway Company. In this employment the primary education he had enjoyed while young served him to good purpose, and he was soon promoted to the post of time-keeper. After some two years’ careful saving he collected sufficient money to buy a horse, hire a cab, and obtain his licence."

Sasha Trubetskoy did not set out to create an underground map-style of the Roman roads of Britain - not specifically. He had seen plenty of fantasy transit maps online and, he says, “I figured I could do better.” He just needed a subject, and he landed on ancient Rome, which no one had tackled before, despite its extensive network of roads across its vast empire. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/roman-road-subway-map-underground-londinium
