What’s Going on Under Liverpool？
There are dark clouds over the River Mersey and there’s a cold wind. We’re in the famous city of Liverpool and we’re going to see the Williamson Tunnels[隧道].
Joseph Williamson was born poor in 1769 and went to work for a tobacco[烟草] company aged eleven. He started at the bottom and finally became the boss.
Nobody knows why Williamson made tunnels under most of Liverpool， but maybe it was to give people jobs. Half of Liverpool worked for him. Now the war with Napoleon was over， it had become a very poor city. Men were coming home who had lost arms and legs and couldn’t work anymore.
Our tour started where Williamson’s first house in Edge Hill used to be. Now， of all the fantastic buildings and gardens， there’s only a single apple tree left. We saw three tunnels built on top of each other—but nobody knows why. There were also churches down there， and again， nobody knows why.
We finished the tour in the Williamson Tunnels Café Bar. Over a coffee， we looked at advertisements for bands and theatre groups which are coming to play： a new use for an old place.
