EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Stewart Bale Limited captures a significant moment in the history of engineering and construction. Taken in the 1920s, it showcases men diligently at work in Liverpool's Queensway Tunnel, specifically laying the concrete block lining in the New Quay section. The tunnel, also known as Mersey Tunnel or Birkenhead Tunnel, served as a vital road connection between Liverpool and Birkenhead. The image provides a glimpse into the underground world where these skilled workers toiled to create this impressive feat of infrastructure. With their sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they demonstrate their commitment to building something that would stand the test of time. Annotated with "Contract No. 1" and "Concrete Block Lining, New Quay" this print offers insight into the meticulous planning and execution required for such an ambitious project. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only the physical structure being constructed but also recognize the countless hours of hard work put forth by these individuals who dedicated themselves to improving transportation connectivity for future generations.
