EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the construction of the iconic Mersey Tunnel in Liverpool. Captured on 17 July 1934 by Stewart Bale Ltd, the official photographer commissioned to document this monumental project, this image showcases the immense engineering feat that was Queensway. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where traffic congestion at the Mersey Ferry prompted the need for a groundbreaking solution. Basil Mott and J A Brodie took up this challenge and built what would become the longest underground tunnel in existence at that time. The photograph exudes a sense of awe as it reveals workers diligently constructing this marvel beneath our feet. The dimly lit tunnel stretches into infinity, its walls adorned with scaffolding and machinery echoing with sounds of progress. The silver gelatin DOP print adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Historic England's lens. Beyond its historical significance, this print also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It reminds us of our ability to overcome obstacles through innovation and collaboration. Preserved within these frames is not just an architectural masterpiece but also a symbol of connectivity between Liverpool and Birkenhead - two cities forever linked by Queensway's enduring legacy.
