More about this scene
We are looking straight into the Mersey Tunnel main entrance. Known as the Queensway Tunnel, it was at the time the only road tunnel under the River Mersey; it had opened in 1934. It soon replaced the car ferries and luggage boats. The tower of the Municipal Buildings on Dale Street dominates the sky-line to the left. At the time of our photograph, it cost 1s 6d for a car to go through the tunnel. It was a tanner (6d) for a motor bike and 9d for a motor bike and sidecar.
