EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Liverpool in the 1960s. Captured on the evening of October 21st, 1961, it showcases the chaotic aftermath of rush hour outside the entrance to the Queensway Tunnel. The official end of the jam may have been declared, but lines of traffic still persist, crowding this main thoroughfare. The scene is a testament to both the efficiency and limitations of transportation during that era. As cars fill every inch of available space, their headlights illuminate the night sky, creating an enchanting display against a backdrop of darkness. The street is alive with activity as people navigate through this sea of vehicles. This image perfectly encapsulates a moment frozen in time – a snapshot capturing not only a specific date but also an entire era defined by its reliance on automobiles and busy city life. It serves as a reminder that even after rush hour has subsided, urban centers like Liverpool continue to buzz with energy well into the night. Transport enthusiasts and history buffs alike will appreciate this remarkable piece from Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection for its ability to transport them back in time and immerse themselves in an authentic slice of mid-20th century life.
