Uncover the secrets of Brunel's Thames Tunnel with Lauren as she heads to the Brunel Museum in Rotherhithe, London. The first EVER tunnel built under a river in the world, this was a feat of engineering so incredible that it was once considered to be the eighth wonder of the world!! As Lauren heads underground to explore the original entrance she is met with voices from the past, who reveal the story of the tunnel. Hear from Sophia Kingdom Brunel, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Shopkeeper Peggy. A huge thanks to the Brunel Museum for working with us on this episode!
