Hi Dean, Thank you for the very interesting post regarding the Mersey Tunnel.
During the early 1950s, I used to go with my Dad on his little Co-op lorry, and
he told me that when the Mersey Tunnel was opened in 1934 by King George V
and Queen Mary, after the official Royal party and civic dignitaries had set off
through the tunnel, followed by private cars, Dad said that his Greenbanks Dairy
Ford 2 tonner was the first commercial vehicle to pass through the tunnel after
the opening.
