Doorway, Mersey Tunnel
At the Sidney Street ventilation plant. A fine example of art deco which is being carefully preserved. These doors had been very recently repainted, in the original colours, to highlight the decorative detail; the modern trend would now be to paint everything one colour to get the cheapest result.
