EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of engineering and construction. Taken in the 1920s, it showcases two dedicated men diligently working on the construction of an experimental length of roadway within Liverpool's iconic Queensway Tunnel. The tunnel, located in Merseyside, served as a vital connection between Liverpool and Birkenhead. The print provides valuable annotations that shed light on this intriguing project. It mentions "Contract No. 2" and highlights the experimental nature of this roadway section. Spanning from footage 726 to 756, this particular stretch was situated in Birkenhead, offering a westward view. Immersed underground, these workmen epitomize dedication and perseverance as they contribute to shaping transportation infrastructure for future generations. Their tireless efforts symbolize progress and innovation during an era when road tunnels were still relatively new concepts. Stewart Bale Limited has expertly captured this historic moment through their lens, preserving it for posterity. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination while showcasing the immense scale of such ambitious projects. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate not only the physical labor involved but also recognize its significance in connecting communities and facilitating smoother journeys throughout Liverpool's bustling streetscape.
