Friends Of Williamson's Tunnels

Liverpool, United Kingdom

In the early 1800s, a Liverpool tobacco merchant, Joseph Williamson, funded the construction of an enormous labyrinth of tunnels under the Edge Hill area of Liverpool. Nobody knows his reasons for doing so though many guess it as an act of philanthropy, using his wealth to provide jobs and training

for thousands of Liverpool workers. There is also a Williamson's Tunnels Heritage Centre.
