I was born in 1948 and when I was 5 years old I went with my parents to Liverpool to visit relatives. I can remember going through the tunnel and then coming back on the ferry across the Mersey. I can remember walking along floating wooden docks that moved up and down when ships went past. My other memory of Liverpool was that there was a pub on every street corner.

Scotland Road. Where the dockers wives, by neccesity, had to hover by the doors to grab their old man's wages before they blew it all at shift/weeks end. Sight of this turned my Grandfather, H G Wilding into a lifelong absenteemer.

What a great video... i used to work for Monks civil engineers back in the eighties for a while and we where relining the sewers all around bootle etc... you would not believe whats underground cast iron spiral staircases all decorative, yet nobody sees them, cast iron pillars all fancy. we had plans from the council on the sewers but we found some overflow galleries that where not on the plans and had nobody enter for well over a hundred years.. the fancy ironwork was amazing, iam in my late fifties now, remember it like yesterday. All the best to you sir and thankyou for the great content ;)

I think the coloured lines represent the different electrical systems. The red lines indicate the high voltage system (maybe 11,000 volts), and the blue is the low voltage (6,600 volts). The two zig zag lines represent the step down transformers from HV to LV. A great video, as always. Cheers:

17:00 Peter you are correct, I used to balance the fans years ago before they went over to Variable Speed Drives which made this panel redundant. The original system was a spectacular affair, the engineering over the ventilation system is masterful and made to last. There were very few problems with the system but is was very energy hungry before VSD which reduce inrush start current.

Excellent and very enjoyable, I remember seeing those square 'windows' going down towards the Pier Head. This shows how much land was created by concrete boxing the river front, emptying the water (not all of the water!) from the shuttered concrete grid foundation, allowing for all the roads and buildings you see around the Pier Head, to be construed upon!! People think it's solid ground? 👍🏻

Hi. Fantastic video!! I’ve lived on Merseyside all my life so been through both tunnels many many times. Sadly, I knew very little about the history of them. Now the blanks are filled. Also, I’ve spoken to a lot of other Merseysiders about my recollection of when I was a child, going through the Queensway tunnel, how there were traffic lights controlling the traffic at the junctions of the branch tunnels. No one else recalls this. So did I mis remember? But there they are in the video. So thank you for that! Les Deegan

Well I hope you know all about the hidden tunnels under Bidston Hill and Tranmere, they are really interesting. Wirral Council refused in the 80s to open them up as a tourist attraction, describing them as "damp, dark and featureless and of no interest to the public". They missed out on £Millions as plenty of people want to see all that. There are ways in and forums like 28dayslater have some pictures. There are also caves under New Brighton and I went down those in the mid 1980s, they are accessed from the back garden of a house near to the mini Golf Course. The owners opened it up for a day to get money for some charity event. They were smugglers caves, but the new owners are excavating them and do not allow people in. Near to Birkenhead Central Railway station there are two disused railway line tunnels that go down to Woodside, on to the site of the bus depot now. That area is soon to be redeveloped as a massive new housing estate - which will DESTROY the *ORIGINAL* Birkenhead Central Station Ticket Office which is just by the entrance to the Birkenhead Tunnel under the flyover. The developers know it's Grade 1 Listed, but have exposed it to help it erode and "fall down by accident" to avoid it getting in the way. Under Central Roundabout there are old Victorian toilets, still preserved and locked off to the public. There are lots of hidden things, but most fascinating is what is below ground.

Amazing! I know Liverpool very well as photographed many buildings but had no idea that this was here to visit so thanks for that. About 13 years ago I was given the keys to the then derelict Stanley Dock (now Titanic hotel) for the day by the security guard (I think it was Ronnie Pickering) as I explained I was a photographer. I managed to get some good shots, spotted some old props from past tv dramas that were filmed (also they filmed captain America/Sherlock Holmes) One image I shot was a big iron door looking into the warehouse. I sent it to a photo libary and spotted it used for the film poster of the movie Looper (they tinted it blue and added some cgi) with Bruce willis some time later. Suffice to say I got paid peanuts for it's use, but I can dine out on the Kudos I suppose. I think they are still renovating the main warehouse (largest brick built structure in Europe I think then) which I didn't have access to. That is something perhaps to consider. Also Williamson's tunnels are great to visit. They go all over Liverpool and they keep discovering more as they never got to the bottom of why the rich tobacco magnet built them.

That was really interesting. I've always wanted to see under Nevel street, Southport. Don't think anyone will be able to see it but it would be awesome. You would be the first ever to film it. The forgotten street.
