Calais, Original Channel Tunnel Works
An interesting postcard, although not a very good image. "Machinerie installee sur
les falaises du Blanc-Nez pour le percement du Tunnel qui devait partir de cet
endroit pour aboutir aux Cotes de Douvre (Angleterre - 1909." Roughly translated
this says "Machinery installed on the cliffs of Blanc-Nez to dig a tunnel which
should start from this place and come up in Dover (England)."

Did You Know......that on 6 April 1580, an
earthquake was felt in Calais ? The tremors lasted
for about 15 minutes, and damage was caused both
by the quake and by a tidal wave which engulfed the
town and surrounding countryside. Several people
and many cattle were drowned. Part of the town wall
and several houses collapsed, killing and injuring
more people. It was reported that the watchtower
split and fell, the keeper and his wife having to be
rescued. The earthquake also struck Boulogne.
