half miley tunnel, bootle pics and help

[mike delamar]

this tunnel under marsh lane and strand road/bootle new strand station, used to be a railway line, running from langton dock to fazakerley north junction, when it closed in the late 1960s it has been filled up to street level, it used to be much deeper





this pic of how it is today is from this site
http://www.bootlehistory.com/bootle_gallery.html

and how it used to be




looking under stanley road to the tunnel mouths of the half miley which you can still see the top of next to the tyre garage on marsh lane, this tunnel runs under the marsh lane and under the canal before emerging under hawthorne road



both pics looking west, taken from " an illustrated history of liverpools railways" and "backtrack" railway magazine




im looking for pics of this line around the western end of the half miley tunnel, around the hawthorne road, southport road, walton prison area, and the branch that went into linacre lane gasworks over the canal and over hawthorne road near the old peoples ford garage, if anyone can help please, i have seen one or two pics from the air of the area

cheers
