Hundreds of drivers pass the wall each day without realising what lies underneath it
When you’re approaching the roundabout in Liverpool city centre that connects Park Lane with Jamaica Street, you can see a brick wall that's seemingly there for no reason. However, it is hiding something that is almost 200 years old and closed off to the public.
Recently, the history of the tunnel was covered by Alex Brewster, who runs a TikTok channel called Living Liverpool Tour.Speaking to the ECHO, Alex, 41 from Crosby, said: “I've known it's been that tunnel for years, I just hasn't made a video about it. The station was demolished in the 1970s but the tunnel entrances can still be seen off Kings Dock Street and near Edge Hill Station, in addition to the brick wall and a ventilation shaft on Grenville Street South. It's these aspects that make it ripe for a story.
As reported by the ECHO previously, there have been several ideas over the decades of how the tunnel could reopen. In 2016, a study commissioned by Merseytravel looked into whether the tunnel could reopen to connect the Northern and City Lines together, along with the possible creation of a new station along the route to serve the city's Knowledge Quarter.
