Jan McNulty Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 This is a short film about the work of the Friends of Williamson Tunnels who are securing the tunnels, built in the early 1800s, by hand. Please watch and enjoy this film - it's around 8 minutes long: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpsichore Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Many thanks for drawing my attention to this video. I heard about the tunnels for the first time on Wednesday when I was in Liverpool to give a talk. I thought they might be early foot tunnels under the Mersey like Brunel's under the Thames but that does not seem to be so. There are lots of other interesting things in Liverpool. I was at the Ganesh Temple a couple of weeks ago where I attended a Hindu festival. I saw Indian classical dancers dance out episodes from the Hindu scriptures. Their choreography was intricate, their dancing impressive and their costumes and their makeup were gorgeous. Later that evening I celebrated the festival with a different type of dancing which took place at the Merchant Taylor's School in Crosby, One of the few churches of the Indian Orthodox Church in Britain is at Liverpool. That church is said to have been founded by St Thomas the disciple. And of course, there is also the Philharmonic Hall and its Dining Rooms with its famous facilities - the only ones in England (so I am told) to which ladies are admitted. Lots more of course but these are things I have encountered recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
