EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the completion of the Mersey Tunnel's cement gunning. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph was originally used as an illustration for "The Mersey Tunnel, The Story of an Undertaking" brochure, which commemorated the opening of the Queensway Tunnel on July 18,1934. The Mersey Tunnel holds great historical importance as it connects Liverpool and Birkenhead under the River Mersey. This famous tunnel has become an iconic symbol of these two cities and their close relationship. In this image, we witness workers diligently applying cement to finalize the construction process. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. It serves as a visual reminder of human ingenuity and determination in overcoming challenges to create impressive engineering marvels like tunnels. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's Bridgeman Images collection, we are transported back to that monumental day when the completed cement gunning marked another step towards opening up new possibilities for transportation between Liverpool and Wirral. Let us appreciate not only the technical accomplishment but also acknowledge those who dedicated their skills and labor to make it possible.
