  • Tunnel from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia This Article Is About Underground Passages
    Tunnel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about underground passages. For other uses, see Tunnel (disambiguation). "Underpass" redirects here. For the John Foxx song, see Underpass (song). Entrance to a road tunnel inGuanajuato, Mexico. Utility tunnel for heating pipes between Rigshospitalet and Amagerværket in Copenhagen,Denmark Tunnel on the Taipei Metro inTaiwan Southern portal of the 421 m long (1,381 ft) Chirk canal tunnel A tunnel is an underground or underwater passageway, dug through the surrounding soil/earth/rock and enclosed except for entrance and exit, commonly at each end. A pipeline is not a tunnel, though some recent tunnels have used immersed tube construction techniques rather than traditional tunnel boring methods. A tunnel may be for foot or vehicular road traffic, for rail traffic, or for a canal. The central portions of a rapid transit network are usually in tunnel. Some tunnels are aqueducts to supply water for consumption or for hydroelectric stations or are sewers. Utility tunnels are used for routing steam, chilled water, electrical power or telecommunication cables, as well as connecting buildings for convenient passage of people and equipment. Secret tunnels are built for military purposes, or by civilians for smuggling of weapons, contraband, or people. Special tunnels, such aswildlife crossings, are built to allow wildlife to cross human-made barriers safely.

She is contesting her seat at the May general election, and while she is not in the Northwest, she has none the less pushed transport to the top of the political agenda with her Private Members Bill on rail, which calls for the railways to be put back into public hands.

He was chair of the party’s National Executive Committee for two years and has also been chair on both Milton Keynes Transport Partnership and Milton Keynes Rail Users Group, campaigning for the East West Rail Link, which will put Winslow back on the rail network. He is committed bringing the railways back into public ownership as well as starving to improve bus and rail services and cut fares across the whole country.

    .. I EARLY RAILWAYS IN SOUTH-WEST LANCASHIRE. By W. H. Williams. Read 30 March, 1922. AIL-ROADS or Railways are not so modern as is generally believed. Mr.Nicholas Wood, C.E., in his treatise on Rail-roads (Second Edition, 1831, pp. II and 12) quotes thus from a work by a Mr. Gray published at Newcastle in 1649, a survey of Newcastle-on-Tyne: Some south gentlemen hath, upon great hope of benefit, CQIM~ into this Country to hazard their monies in coal pits. Master Beaumont, a gentleman of great ingenuity and rare parts, ad- ventured into our mines with his fT30,000, who brought with him many rare engines not known then in these parts, as the art- to boore with iron rodds, to try thedeepnesse and thicknesse Óf the Coale; rare engines to draw water out of the pits ; waggons with one horse to carry down coalesfrom the pitsto thestathes, to the river, etc. ; within few years, he consumed all his monies, and rode home upon his light horse. Chovogmphia, 24. Then Mr. wood goes on to remark that considering the carts employed in.conveying> the coals were, in 1602, called “ waynes,” and the carriages introduced by Mr. aumont “ waggons,” and that ever since that period, e vehicles employed on rail-roads have been designated bythe latter n e (waggons), we may infer that the ‘‘ waggon ” of . Beaumont was employed upon a railway and that he was the first to introduce them into the North. The date of the introduction of railways as a substitute for common roads at Newcastle, would then be between the years 1602 and 1649, grobabla considerable time prior to the latterperiod, as we find aster Beaumont had Early Railways in Som%-WestLancashire.

  • Liverpool's Lost Railway Heritage
    Liverpool’s Lost Railway Heritage Angela Connelly and Michael Hebbert MARC Discussion Paper March 2011 Manchester Architecture Research Centre, University of Manchester http://www.sed.manchester.ac.uk/research/marc/ ISBN: 978-1-907120-99-2 2 Angela Connelly is a Research Assistant and Associate of MARC [email protected] Michael Hebbert is Professor of Town Planning, University of Manchester [email protected] © Manchester Architecture Research Centre (MARC) 3 Background This discussion paper is the result of a short research project undertaken by MARC in February 2011. Liverpool’s lost railway heritage had come up in one of our regular trawls amongst local governments and agencies in North West England for live topics suitable for project work or disser- tations. John Hinchliffe, World Heritage Officer of Liverpool City Council, spoke of neglected pre- 1850 railway heritage, some of it still unlisted, including tunnels that lead up from the north and south docks to Edge Hill on the escarpment behind the city centre. He asked if we could provide a description and assessment of this extraordinary heritage, and a summary of the views of the prin- cipal stakeholders. The topic was fascinating but beyond the scope of a student project or dissertation. Happily, an experienced MARC researcher had a month on her hands between submitting her PhD thesis and undergoing her oral examination. Angela Connelly’s PhD, funded by the Arts and Humanities Re- search Council in collaboration with the Methodist Church, is a study of the design and use of Meth- odist Central Halls, involving archival work, interviews, and architectural documentation in six cities - including Liverpool.
