Speaker: Alison Smith
Join us for a captivating talk by Alison Smith about Queensway, which was the longest under water tunnel in the world when it opened in 1934
NB This meeting will commence at the new time of 11.00 AM
My talk will be on the history of the Queensway Mersey Tunnel – it’s conception, construction and what happens today behind the scenes. I will be sharing some of the original Stewart Bale collection of construction photographs during the presentation. I will also give the audience a little taste of what you can see if you come on a Mersey Tunnel Tour.
About the speaker: Alison has a wide experience of managing tourism and has worked at Mersey Tunnels since 2001. She manages Mersey Tunnel Tours and is herself a tunnel guide. From a modest start in 2006 the organisation of the tours has become a full time job.
For anybody keen to make this a full day out, a three course lunch will be available costing £40 but this will require a separate booking in advance. Contact chrislhs5659@gmail.com for details.
The talk will take place in the Athenaeum Dining room (3rd Floor).
No entry will be permitted before 10.30.
