Underground Liverpool

How do you KNOW they are working on it because it is being re-opened to passengers in 2011? That's rubbish! There's 10 times more chance it's just routine Permanent Way maintenance...

I have now added a new page to my Underground Liverpool - a very brief description of the blocked up Tunnel and the Ice House under the Town Hall.

These were taken by an elderly gent some time ago so if I am able to get down there, I will try and get some more pictures and a better description!

There is a crypt and catacombs under St. Anthony's, Scotland road but they're open to the public and i've been down them but they're not very extensive and I think only are within the footprint of the church/churchyard.

So have I,the area they cover is around the same as the church-but they're very spooky all the same.

Jona's mystery shaft...that area was riddled with sidings,flyovers,flyunders etc not so long ago. Edge Hill was one of the biggest goods sorting areas in England and most of WTP was part of that area. So perhaps it's a ventilation shaft for a tunnel below?

Aye, I just can't see why there would be a tunnel system below and where it would lead to. I'm really going to have a good nose around there as they've been doing bits and bobs to that line for the 12 years I've been there now.

I didn't ask how you knew the line was reopening, I asked how you knew that's why they were working there last week.

Great that Jona.

This is a pic that a lady called Liser sent me a couple of years back when we were corresponding about the Edge Hill cuttings. She referred me to the Subterranean site that your does as they seem to have done thier homework. Any truth in the story about the council once looking at the Wapping and Waterloo tunnels as a mean of road transport to and from the docks to ease traffic congestion.

The Cheshire Lines route approaching from Walton had a branch which, after passing through Walton Hill Tunnel (242yds long) under Rice Lane, then Breeze Hill Tunnel (646yds long), ran alongside the Lancashire and Yorkshire and the Liverpool, Bolton and Bury Lines and reached Huskisson Goods and Passenger Stations situated between Bankhall Lane and Boundary Street.

Just found these on Flickr:









Are they members here by any chance?

[snappel]

I might know them. Got a link to the Flickr?

[theninesisters]

Well that ventilation shaft is open again today, tape around it and you can see in for a little distance. Trust me not to bring in my bloody camera when I was going to! Taken some on the mobile so I'll post em up tonight but if it's like this at 5:30, I'll be 12x zooming in on it!

[theninesisters]

Here are the pics taken with my poor camera phone - taking the H2 in to work tomorrow for some better shots!!
