Passengers travelling in and out of Liverpool may have caught a glimpse of a tiny house in one of the underground tunnels along the train line. Though the miniature house, which sits between the tracks at Lime Street Station, could easily be missed as its black bricks camouflage into the darkness.
The eerie house cannot be visited as there are live railway tracks on either side, making it dangerous to reach. However while the station was closed for renovation works in 2017, one worker was able to take a photograph of the blackened house complete with its chimney.
It is believed to be more than a century old and was originally built as a "mess hut," according to Network Rail. Track workers would take their breaks inside the hut while on shift – and there’s still a bench and fireplace inside, LiverpoolEcho reports.
