Disused Railway Tunnel (Stephenson's Rocket)
This tunnel led to the original railway station at Liverpool at Crown Street, a grand sandstone building with a moorish arch over a deep cutting, reported to be the world's first passenger railway station. In addition to the passenger station with its offices, waiting rooms and overall roof there was also goods facilities and accommodation for coal merchants. The Crown Street passenger terminus soon proved inadequate due to its size and distance from the city centre and it was closed on 15th August 1836 on the opening of a new terminus at Lime Street in May 1835, much closer to the city centre (until 1870 trains were hauled up and down from Edge hill by ropes rather than by locomotives). Crown Street was relegated to a goods and engineering maintenance depot eventually closing in 1968, little remains of this historic site.

Crown Street station, last remnant
Crown Street station was one of the first two railway stations in the world, along with Liverpool Road station, Manchester, which survives. Crown Street was superseded by Lime Street station in Liverpool in 1836 but became a goods depot. Until the reinstatement of the Olive Mount Chord in 2008, an old tunnel to Crown Street was used as sidings where locomotives could "run round" a train to reverse it. The picture shows the head of the siding (two lines enter the tunnel and join in the tunnel). An earlier view, from the opposite direction, with 25kV wires still in place, is at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/64494 .
