Visit to the Edge Hill cutting and the Wapping Tunnel 16/09/2020

We recently visited the location where all modern railways started on the 15th September 1830. The Edge Hill cutting has had many names including the Chatsworth and the Cavendish cutting. The main area was the Edge Hill engine station or the Brickfield station, where the early locomotives were attached/detached from their trains, which were then pulled through the small passenger tunnel to Crown Street station, or free-wheeled down the Wapping tunnel if they were goods trains. This is one of the most important historic sites in the world for many reasons, the birth of the modern railway has impacted every aspect of our lives. We would like to thank Network Rail and Liverpool City Council for access to the cutting and the tunnel.
