Took these pictures today [2nd February 2010]. I was quite excited.
Final Attachment: I have tried to give an impression of what the arch looked like when it was newly built.

Nice photos Kev.
It had to be demolished to widen the cutting when the 1846 secondary tunnel was bored into the Crown Street Goods yard. It was a part of the bridge which is still there. Well it is not a bridge as it is still a solid rock arch left in place.

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

Very interesting, Kev. I am having trouble though relating what you photographed with what the Moorish Arch looked like when it was built. Could you guide us?

Well done getting those pics Kev.
Like Chris, I'm a bit lost too. The very bottom left picture - is that part of the reamins of the arch ?
By Bing.
Look south and the three tunnels are seen - Two Crown St and the centre Wapping.
The cutting looking east. The arch was to the right of Chatsworth Ave bridge. The steam tunnels can be seen

This bit - street level ? I'd have to be there and see it to work it out.
I'm wondering where you are standing .. behind the fence ? is this where you can look over to the track ?
Lindy the bridge walls were castellated to match the arch. The wall was made higher - cheaply - later in the 1800s. That can be seen by the sandstone and brick extension.

ahh yes, that'll be it. I was wondering about that fence. It makes sense if there is playground there.
