5350 cover imageChannel Tunnel 1892: Imprinted Board of Trade cover from an Offical with complete contents to Sir Edward W. Watkin MP in London franked by 1 d. lilac tied by London / SW22 duplex (Nov 22) in black. Contents refer to the MP's bill on the proposal for his "Channel Tunnel (Experimental) Bill" to be put before Parliament and the letter confirms that the Government will not oppose the introduction of the Bill. The writer, A. Mundelle, concludes "Personally I should be very glad to the see the Channel Tunnel a fait accompli". An historical letter by a prescient politician and extensive Railway Entrepreneur - the Tunnel was eventually opened on May 6, 1994 - just 102 years later. Note: Sir Edward William Watkin (1819-1901) was an MP and railway entrepreneur. He presided over large scale railway engineering projects to fulfil his business aspirations, eventually rising to become chairman of nine different British railway companies. Among his more notable projects were: the expansion of the Metropolitan Railway now part of today's London Underground; the construction of the Great Central Main Line, a purpose-built high-speed railway line; and a failed attempt to dig a Channel Tunnel under the English Channel to connect his railway empire to the French rail network (Image 1) (Image 2)
