The Wapping Railway Tunnel Liverpool

The Liverpool to Manchester railway at its furthest western point beyond the passenger terminus at Crown street station had a goods link to the Wapping dock at Liverpool. This was the Wapping Tunnel. Billed as the first tunnel under a metropolis it was just over a mile long. The Wapping tunnel has some unique features such as air vent shafts and warning gongs that I have never seen before. We will be sorting some loose ends and looking at Crown street park and the Crown street tunnel Liverpool. Finally we arrive at Park lane goods station athe the Wapping docks at liverpool and looking at the end of the tunnel Constructed in 1826 by George Stephenson the tunnel remains in situ. Bisected by a Merseyrail line.
