This photo print, titled "Excavating the lower half MTA01_01_10" takes us back to the 1930s in Liverpool, Merseyside. The image showcases a significant moment in engineering history - the construction of the iconic Queensway Tunnel. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a group of dedicated workmen diligently excavating the lower half of the main tunnel. Their presence adds scale and perspective to this ambitious project that aimed to connect Liverpool with Birkenhead underground. The composition is striking as it captures both the vastness of the tunnel's interior and the intricate details involved in its creation. The dimly lit space creates an atmosphere filled with anticipation and hard work. It is evident that these skilled individuals are committed to shaping a remarkable feat of engineering that would forever change transportation between these two bustling cities.
