Hidden Secrets Of The Mersey Tunnel | The Lost Liverpool Dock!

I was born in 1948 and when I was 5 years old I went with my parents to Liverpool to visit relatives. I can remember going through the tunnel and then coming back on the ferry across the Mersey. I can remember walking along floating wooden docks that moved up and down when ships went past. My other memory of Liverpool was that there was a pub on every street corner.

A few months ago there was an enormous bike ride through the tunnel and back it was amazing to participate in. 😊

Absolutely love that Ronny Pickering was on the phone. Brilliant touch of humour.

Darren, that hidden stonework is amazing, the craftsmanship is something to see. What a fun tour to go on, wish I was there tagging along. There is no such thing as a "temporary toll / tax" once is starts it never ends.

Fond memories of driving through the tunnels as a kid in the 70’s on a day trip to Liverpool. Superb channel, keep up the good work.

Great feature on the Mersey tunnels, so many more amazing historic sites in Liverpool for you to explore. Welcome to our City,hope you return and feature other sites soon.

Another brilliant AdventureMe video. The pace, quality and information is top level and the pacing is excellent. What a treat to watch. We knew this was going to be a good one and it certainly didn't disappoint - 10/10.

What a great video... i used to work for Monks civil engineers back in the eighties for a while and we where relining the sewers all around bootle etc... you would not believe whats underground cast iron spiral staircases all decorative, yet nobody sees them, cast iron pillars all fancy. we had plans from the council on the sewers but we found some overflow galleries that where not on the plans and had nobody enter for well over a hundred years.. the fancy ironwork was amazing, iam in my late fifties now, remember it like yesterday. All the best to you sir and thankyou for the great content ;)

Amazing Darren thank you. I’m so glad they’ve kept that old control room as it was with all the old switches, fuses, and relays 🥰 I can’t wait for part 2

I think the coloured lines represent the different electrical systems. The red lines indicate the high voltage system (maybe 11,000 volts), and the blue is the low voltage (6,600 volts). The two zig zag lines represent the step down transformers from HV to LV. A great video, as always. Cheers:

Another really interesting video series after the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. I look forward to more videos in the series. Thanks for sharing.

I worked at Bradshaw Rowse Harker architects and we had the original pencil drawn drawings for the various ventilation shafts and the Liverpool main entrance. They were exceptional drawings. The Birkenhead dock exit was also used in the film Jack Ryan and doubled as a New York tunnel. My son worked on the locations department for the film when it was filming scenes in Liverpool

Can't wait for Part 2!! Excellent guided tour Darren! Another feather in your cap 😁

A very instructive and interesting video today, Darren. Thank you for the tour and time spent accomplishing this video. Patiently waiting for Part 2. See you on the next. Cheers buddy.

Well,what can I say except 'brilliant'. I never knew anything about the Mersey tunnel until today. It's amazing to see all the old control room still intact as it should be. Preserved for future generations to enjoy. So thanks again for another cracking video, top rank as ever. Following on from your Take That promo last week,my missus and daughter in law have booked to see you at the Castleford gig. No offence it's not for me my friend,I'm more of a Pink Floyd fan. Cheers R😁😁

Brilliant video! It was quite spooky hearing the air whistling through but it was great!

I drive through the tunnel everyday and its given me a new found appreciation for it. I had no idea about the trams nor the ventilation buildings had all its original features. Amazing

Fabulous video, on my visits to The Wirral I always had to go through both tunnels, just because it felt like part of the visit, the satnav with the car in water always amused me too! thanks for this another brilliant video

I've been on this tour a few years ago, it's amazing how much I missed first time around, another brilliant video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely fascinating, was glued to the screen watching this, so much history, and so much still intact from 100s of years ago. cant wait for part 2
