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.

Beckton Gasworks (1869) The partially completed Beckton Gasworks during a site visit by the directors of the Gas Light & Coke Company. Beckton was named after the president of the company, Simon Adams Beck - it was the largest gas plant in the world when it opened in 1870. Beckton is thus one of the many areas of London named after 19th century factory owners or property developers - Cubitt Town, Camden Town and Somers Town being others.
