"Beechwood Tunnel" is an illustration by John Cooke Bourne, an English artist and engraver known for his depictions of early railway subjects during the 19th century. Created in 1838, the artwork is part of a series that Bourne produced to document the construction of the London and Birmingham Railway, one of the world's earliest major railroads. The illustration captures the Beechwood Tunnel, a significant engineering feat of its time, located near the village of Watford in Hertfordshire, England.

The image is characterized by its detailed representation of the tunnel's entrance and the surrounding landscape, offering a glimpse into the monumental task of railway construction during the Industrial Revolution. Bourne's work is notable for its historical value, providing insight into the technological advancements and societal changes brought about by the advent of railway travel. His illustrations were widely disseminated through publications such as "Drawings of the London & Birmingham Railway" (1839), which contributed to the public's fascination with the transformative power of the railways.

Beechwood Tunnel itself was an engineering challenge due to the nature of the terrain and the need for a lengthy tunnel to pass through the hilly landscape. The illustration not only showcases the tunnel but also the workers and machinery involved in its construction, reflecting the human labor and industrial processes that were integral to the railway's development. John Cooke Bourne's work, including "Beechwood Tunnel," remains an important visual record of the early railway era and is of interest to historians, railway enthusiasts, and art historians alike.
