was officially opened on the 18th July 1934 by King George V and Queen
Mary. It is a road tunnel which travels under the River Mersey
and links the City of Liverpool to Birkenhead.

The lettering around the mosaic reads 'MAP OF QUEENSWAY TUNNEL CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE MERSEY TUNNEL JOINT COMMITTEE. WORK COMMENCED IN 1925 AND WAS COMPLETED IN 1934.'
