EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Constructing the Mersey Tunnel" offers a glimpse into the remarkable engineering feat that took place in Liverpool, Merseyside during the 1930s. The image showcases a group of dedicated men diligently working on the construction of the roadway within the Queensway Tunnel. The photograph is annotated with intriguing details such as "Contract No. 3" and "Cut and Cover Section" shedding light on specific aspects of this ambitious project. At first glance, one can appreciate the sheer scale of this underground endeavor, as well as admire the intricate arches that form part of its structure. The image captures an era when manual labor played a crucial role in shaping our cities' infrastructure. These skilled workmen are seen toiling away, their determination evident even through their distant figures.
