Explore behind the Art Deco exterior of the Georges Dock Building, which will be opening its doors for the weekend. At the time of its construction, the Queensway Mersey Tunnel was the largest underwater road in the world and the biggest municipal undertaking. Georges Dock Building is one of six ventilation stations for the tunnel and is also the most ornate as it was built to be the Head Office for the Mersey Tunnels.

There will be artefacts on display and a small photographic exhibition as well as free mini tours to the original Control Room and down to a Fan Chamber and through into our Dock room which dates back to 1771. Tours will be held throughout the day on a 1st come 1st served basis with a maximum of 24 allowed on each tour. Guides will also be on hand to talk about the architectural features of the outside of this Grade II listed building.
