EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the Mersey Tunnel's roadway under the land portions of its main tunnel. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The Mersey Tunnel, also known as Queensway Tunnel, holds great importance as it connects Liverpool with Wirral and Birkenhead. The opening of this iconic tunnel on July 18,1934 was a monumental event for both cities. This photograph serves as an illustration for "The Mersey Tunnel: The Story of an Undertaking" brochure, which commemorated the tunnel's inauguration. Intriguingly captured from below ground level, we witness the intricate process of constructing roadways beneath the land portions of this famous tunnel. The sheer scale and complexity are evident through various machinery and workers diligently carrying out their tasks. As we delve into history through this image, we gain insight into not only the technological marvel that is the Mersey Tunnel but also appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth to bring such infrastructure projects to life. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to reflect upon how far transportation has come since those early days while appreciating our ancestors' vision in creating enduring structures like these tunnels beneath River Mersey.
