The London entrance to the Primrose Hill tunnel, 19th century.

UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 10: Lithograph with the caption �London & Birmingham Railway - London entrance to the Primrose Hill tunnel now in process of erection. Designed by W H Buddon - Robert Stephenson Esq, Engineer�. In 1833 Robert Stephenson (1803-1859) was appointed chief engineer of the LBR, the first railway into London. Beginning at Curzon Street Station, Birmingham, and finishing at Euston Station, London, the 112 mile long line took 20,000 men nearly five years to build, at a cost of five and a half million pounds. It has been estimated that to build the railway, the navvies shifted more material than the ancient Egyptians did when they constructed the pyramids. The LBR opened on 17 September 1838.
