The Mersey Tunnel, Liverpool, 17 July 1934. Stewart Bale Ltd was commissioned as official photographer to record the construction of the first Mersey road tunnel, known as Queensway. It was built between 1925 and 1934 by the engineers Basil Mott and J A Brodie to connect Liverpool with Birkenhead and to ease traffic congestion at the Mersey Ferry. When completed it was the longest underground tunnel in the world. Silver gelatin DOP (developing out paper) print
