Creepy footage still exists online of the lost subway that allowed people to walk underneath Lime Street.
Recently, the ECHO published an article on the subway which will have been remembered by all 1980s and 1990s shoppers. Work on building the subway began in 1967 during a period of considerable redevelopment of the city centre.
The work included the building of St Johns Shopping Centre, which city planners wanted to create access to straight from Lime Street Station. Because tunnelling under the street while traffic continued flowing overhead was deemed impracticable, the subway was cut out of the roadway in sections and later covered over.
