The Tower Subway is a tunnel beneath the River Thames in central London, between Tower Hill on the north bank of the river and Vine Lane (off Tooley Street) on the south. In 1869 a 1,340-foot-long (410 m) circular tunnel was dug through the London clay using a cast iron shield, an idea that had been patented in 1864 by Peter W. Barlow but never built. The same shield method of construction was used in 1890 to dig the tunnels of the City and South London Railway, the first of London's electrified "Tube" railways and the first underground electrified railway in the world.

rdfs:comment	Die Tower Subway ist ein 1869/70 erbauter Tunnel unter der Themse im Stadtzentrum von London, in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Tower of London. Er verläuft vom Tower Hill auf der Nordseite zur Vine Lane auf der Südseite. In diesem Tunnel wurden Personen mittels eines Wagens transportiert, und die Tower Subway gilt damit als erste U-Bahn der Welt, die in einer tiefliegenden Röhre erbaut wurde. Die erste in offener Bauweise errichtete U-Bahn war die Metropolitan Railway im Jahr 1863 gewesen. (de) Тауэр-сабвей (англ.

(en) Le Tower Subway (Tunnel de la Tour) est un tunnel sous la Tamise dans le centre de Londres, près — comme son nom l'indique— de la Tour de Londres. Son tracé relie Tower Hill sur la rive nord et Vine Lane (Tooley Street) au sud. Sa méthode de construction novatrice a introduit un modèle pour le percement du City & South London Railway en 1890, la première ligne du Tube, le métro de Londres dont les tunnels sont tubulaires. Le tunnel est appelé souterrain selon l'usage de l'anglais britannique, qui indique un tunnel piéton, contrairement au mot américain subway qui signifie métro. (fr) Il Tower Subway (letteralmente, "sottopassaggio della torre") è un tunnel al di sotto del Tamigi nella zona centrale di Londra, tra Tower Hill a nord del fiume e Vine Lane (lungo Tooley Street) a sud. Nel 1869, un tunnel circolare di 410 metri (circa 1340 piedi) fu scavato attraverso il sottosuolo argilloso di Londra utilizzando uno scudo in ferro battuto, un metodo brevettato nel 1864 da . Nel tunnel fu disposta una ferrovia e dall'agosto 1870 un vagone in legno cominciò a trasportare i passeggeri da un lato all'altro della tratta. Il sistema di trasporto adottato risultò sconveniente e la compagnia andò incontro alla bancarotta entro la fine dello stesso anno. Il tunnel fu perciò convertito in un sottopassaggio pedonale, con l'eccezionale conseguenza che oltre un milione di persone all'a (it) De Tower Subway is een tunnel onder de Theems in Londen nabij de Tower of London, zoals de naam al suggereert. De tunnel loopt tussen Tower Hill aan de noordelijke oever van de rivier naar Vine Lane aan de zuidzijde. De destijds innovatieve constructiemethode was in feite het prototype voor de aanleg van de City & South London Railway in 1890, de eerste "Tube" metrolijn. Hierbij wordt een tunnelbuis met een beperkte diameter aangelegd, waarbij voorheen grotere tunnels aangelegd werden waar volwaardige treinen doorheen konden. (nl) Tower Subway – tunel pod Tamizą w centrum Londynu między Tower Hill na północnym brzegu rzeki a ulicą Vine Lane na południowym. W roku 1869 przekopano 410-metrowy tunel przy użyciu żeliwnej tarczy wiertniczej, którą to metodę opracował w roku 1864 Peter William Barlow. W tunelu ułożono wąski tor o szerokości 0,76 m i od sierpnia 1870 roku drewniane wagoniki przewoziły pasażerów z jednego brzegu na drugi. System napędowy stanowiły wyciągarki kablowe znajdujące się na obu końcach tunelu. Pomysł nie sprawdził się ekonomicznie i wkrótce zlikwidowano linię, a tunel stał się przejściem dla pieszych, którzy mieli płacić pół szylinga brytyjskiego za wejście (korzystało z tej możliwości blisko miliona osób rocznie). Gdy w roku 1894 uruchomiono pierwszą prawdziwą linię londyńskiego metra tunel zosta (pl)
