The Historic, Flooded, Abandoned Railway Tunnels of Liverpool

03:27 - Edge Hill Cutting
08:20 - Crown Street Tunnel
11:26 - Wapping Tunnel

The world's oldest railway tunnels below streets - Wapping and Crown Street Tunnels in Liverpool - are today forgotten and neglected beneath the busy metropolis above. But both were part of the landmark Liverpool-Manchester Railway, opened in 1830, and the epic Edge Hill Cutting, once the beating heart of Liverpool's railways, now silent.

In this video I return to Edge Hill Cutting to investigate some finer points further, before plunging headlong into the Crown Street Tunnel and then the whopping Wapping Tunnel, a 2km-long tunnel below Liverpool leading all the way to the old docks and with plenty of secrets left to reveal.

So grab your hard hat and your waders for an exploration of one of the most historic tunnels in the world!
