Our next FoWT monthly meeting will take place on Monday 4th November 2024 – 7.00 pm (19.00 hrs) via Zoom.
“Liverpool: Tales from the Tunnels (and other Excavations)” by Jim Marshall.
Our guest speaker on the night will be Jim Marshall, a Member of the Friends of Williamson’s Tunnels, who will talk about “Liverpool: Tales from the Tunnels (and other Excavations)”.
Jim Marshall is a retired Professor of Geology from the University of Liverpool. In this talk he will use historical records and modern imaging to illustrate how the physical landscape and the underlying geology of the City influenced development from the earliest times. Bedrock and younger deposits provided local building stone, variably firm foundations, plentiful water resources (for a while at least) and unique challenges for those needing to construct docks, railways and, of course, tunnels, in the City and under the water.
