A lost subway that made walking into the heart of Liverpool easier will be remembered by city centre shoppers from the 1980s and '90s.
Lime Street underwent a major transformation in the mid-noughties which included the complete remodelling of Lime Street Station and the demolition of Concourse House next to it. It was also during this period that an underpass that ran underneath Lime Street straight to St Johns Shopping Centre was closed.
Work on the pedestrian subway began in 1967 during a period of considerable redevelopment of central Liverpool which included the building of St Johns Shopping Precinct. Tunnelling under Lime Street while the traffic continued flowing overhead was deemed impracticable and so the subway was cut out of the roadway in sections and later covered over.
