EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the Mersey Tunnel's roadway in one of its junction chambers. 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, opened on July 18th, 1934, connecting Liverpool and Wirral under the River Mersey. This photograph was featured in "The Mersey Tunnel: The Story of an Undertaking" brochure released to commemorate its opening. In this image, we see workers diligently constructing the roadway within one of the tunnel's junction chambers. Their determination and skill are evident as they lay down each brick with precision. The dimly lit chamber adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The Mersey Tunnel has become famous for its engineering marvels and continues to be a vital transportation link between Liverpool and Birkenhead. Its significance cannot be overstated as it has facilitated countless journeys over decades. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in overcoming challenges posed by nature itself. It reminds us of our ability to conquer obstacles through collaboration and innovation. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the remarkable progress made during this monumental construction project.
