EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, offering a rare glimpse into the construction of the Queensway Tunnel in Liverpool, Merseyside. The image showcases an interior view of this engineering marvel, with dedicated workmen laboring diligently on what is known as the Brethren Buildings Ventilation Station. The scene is bustling with activity as men clad in their work attire can be seen meticulously working on exhaust ducts and receiver tunnels. Their dedication and expertise are evident as they navigate through this underground labyrinth, ensuring proper ventilation for future commuters. The annotation on the print reveals that this particular section of the project falls under Contract No. 4, highlighting its significance within the overall tunnel construction process. The Bretherton Buildings Ventilation Station stands tall as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation during a time when such feats were considered groundbreaking. Stewart Bale Limited has masterfully captured this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate not only the architectural prowess behind such infrastructure but also shedding light on those unsung heroes who tirelessly worked behind-the-scenes to bring it all together. This remarkable photograph serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and pays homage to those whose hard work shaped our modern transportation systems.
