A seldom seen photo of the underneath of the roadway of the Mersey Tunnel,looking towards Birkenhead.

I wonder why they designed it to run trams under the roadway when there was already a train tunnel?

if what i remember was true, it was for transporting workers about under the tunnel?

From the book "The Mersey Tunnel; the Story of an Undertaking"
published in about 1954 by Birkenhead Council for the Tunnel Joint Committee.

good post chris

Wow - cool photo! Intrigued to see the "other" half of the tunnel!

Dan, you would love the Queensway Tunnel Tour. Wiki outing being planned. Have a look. The thread is in U.E forum, i think?

Will take a look - thanks Rude

Here another picture from November 1930
