 Greenwich Guide - The Blackwall Tunnel
Blackwall Tunnel is a free road tunnel under the River Thames, between Blackwall Point in East Greenwich and East India Dock Road in Poplar.
The same method was used at Blackwall, but the ground under the river bed was composed of sand rather than clay.
The tunnel was in places only five feet six inches (1.67 metres) below the bed of the river, and the use of compressed air in the tunnel meant that sometimes the pressure was too much and the ceiling of the tunnel would give way.

The Blackwall and Frog Pond fires burning in Montana and Idaho near Lost Trail Pass didn't increase in size Tuesday, despite record high temperatures, low humidity and gusty winds, and firefighters continued to hold their ground through Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters completed preparations for protecting many of the buildings on the Idaho side of the Blackwall fire, and began to work their way between Moose Creek Estates and Gibbonsville, protecting them in case the fire turns and threatens buildings there.
Both fires were started by lightning, the Blackwall on July 12 and the Frog Pond on July 19.

The original Blackwall tunnel was opened in 1897, and the very tight alignment reflects that this was long before anyone had even thought about HGVs, let alone built any.
In 1967, the original Blackwall tunnel was converted to one-way operation, carrying northbound traffic across the Thames only, whilst south bound traffic used the new tunnel.
The dual carriageway approach roads to the Blackwall tunnel link up with the A12 in the north, and the A2 in the south, forming a dual carriageway loop from the North Circular to the South Circular Road.
