Disused Tunnel to Whitechapel
Image: © David Robinson Taken: 30 Aug 2018
The Royal Mail used a dedicated 2ft gauge underground railway to move mail between London sorting offices with the largest station centred on Mount Pleasant. Closed in 2003, the loop around Mount Pleasant has been re-opened as a tourist attraction. The image shows the tunnel that took the line towards the eastern Terminus at Whitechapel.
