In the heart of Merseyside, King George V himself takes center stage as he presses the button to raise the curtains, symbolically unveiling the tunnel entrance to an eager crowd. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and pride as onlookers from Liverpool and Birkenhead gather to witness this historic ceremony. The Queensway Tunnel stands not only as a remarkable feat of engineering but also as a testament to unity between two great cities. Its completion signifies progress, connectivity, and prosperity for both sides of River Mersey. Stewart Bale Limited has masterfully captured this significant moment in time through their lens, immortalizing it for generations to come.
