A mysterious system of tunnels crawl through the depths of Liverpool. No one knows why they were built, only that they were the work of one man: Joseph Williamson. What secrets could he have hidden in these tunnels?

🥳 Happy 188th Birthday Liverpool Lime Street station, opened #onthisday in 1836!
In 1849 the London and North Western Railway replaced the first train shed with a larger one; 153ft, 6in span in iron.
At the time it was widest single span roof attempted!😮

I visited Williamson's Tunnels about 20 years ago and have never forgotten it, a truly unique destination for a visitor from abroad.

Queensway Tunnel lies underneath the River Mersey in Liverpool and was designed by engineer Sir Basil Mott.
The tunnel that connects Birkenhead to Liverpool City Centre opened to the public on 18 July 1934 to 200,000 people.
This photograph was taken between 1929 and 1930. 📸

We took the @nationaltrust into Edge Hill cutting to show them the history that sits 40 feet beneath Edge Hill. Thanks as always to our friends @NetworkRailLIV for allowing us access & joining us in an effort to find a permanent purpose for the birthplace of the modern railway.

Watching Susan Calman in Liverpool and, among many reasons to be proud, I'm reminded again what an amazing feat a small group of volunteers have accomplished in The Williamson Tunnels @FoWT 👏👏👏 – at Newton-le-Willows, England
