The winding-engine for the Victoria Tunnel (from Byrom St to Edge Hil) was at Edge Hill. I think the buildings are still there - well those that pulled the trains up from Lime St are and the two tunnels are next to each other.



Byrom St Cutting was a place essential in the transit of trains through the two tunnels - well one tunnel with two names.
