EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of the iconic Mersey Tunnel. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the reinforced roadway ready for concreting. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in "The Mersey Tunnel, The Story of an Undertaking" brochure published in 1934 to commemorate the opening of the tunnel. The Mersey Tunnel, also known as Queensway Tunnel, holds great historical importance as it connected Liverpool with Wirral and Birkenhead. This engineering marvel opened its doors on July 18th, 1934, forever changing transportation between these areas. In this image, we see workers standing atop the reinforced roadway that would soon be covered with concrete. Their presence adds scale to the immense size of this underground structure. The tunnels themselves are famous landmarks that have stood strong for decades. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we can't help but appreciate both its artistic value and its representation of human ingenuity. It serves as a reminder of how infrastructure projects like these shape our cities and connect communities across rivers such as River Mersey. This print is a testament to not only the technical achievements behind building such tunnels but also to their lasting impact on society.
