Overview
Under Liverpool’s Edge Hill is a mysterious underground kingdom of winding tunnels built in the 1820’s and 1830’s by local philanthropist Joseph Williamson.
In 2002 the Joseph Williamson Society opened the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre, the first phase in the ongoing exploration and redevelopment of Williamson’s incredible legacy.
Since then over 90,000 people from across the world have visited the tunnels and been amazed and fascinated by the scale and workmanship of Williamson’s subterranean labyrinth.
So why not pay a visit and find out more about this unique piece of Liverpool’s Heritage.
Take a 40 minute guided tour through a reopened section of this unique labyrinth of tunnels. Learn about Williamson’s motives for the construction of the tunnels and the lives and times of the hundreds of workers once employed by one of Liverpool’s most eccentric characters.
