"Vaulted passageways cut out of solid
rock: archways thrown up by craftsman's hands, beautiful in proportion,
elegant in form, but supporting nothing. Tunnels formed here - deep pits
there."
James Stonehouse, Historian.

The Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre provides an insight into
the fascinating underground world created by Joseph Williamson in the early
19th Century. Take a guided tour through a section of the network of tunnels
and view exhibitions which depict the life and times of one of Liverpool's most
eccentric characters.
The Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre is owned and operated by
the Joseph Williamson Society.
The Joseph Williamson Society is a registered charity which
receives no public funding, therefore, the Society relies entirely on visitor income
and donations to maintain and develop the Heritage Centre.
