Lost Mersey tunnel monument recreated 92 years on (original) (raw)

A missing monument marking the history of the Mersey Tunnels connecting Liverpool and the Wirral has been recreated.

Two identical circular were designed by tunnel architect Herbert Rowse and from 1934, when the Queensway tunnel opened, they stood at the Liverpool and Birkenhead entrances.

But the one in Liverpool was removed in the 1960s.

Described by Merseyside metro mayor Steve Rotheram as a "lost cultural asset", it has now been reconstructed with the help of funding from the Liverpool City Region combined authority.
