'This new beacon is a nod to our brilliant and illustrious past but also a symbol of hope for the future'. Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region has been to see an iconic piece of engineering and architectural heritage take shape at the #Liverpool entrance to the #QueenswayTunnel. While it looks like the original marble-clad obelisk that stood during the tunnel's opening in 1934, innovative new methods have been used to recreate the monument as part of a wider project to develop an inviting and accessible public space close to the tunnel entrance. Two obelisks were originally built to illuminate the tunnel entrances in Liverpool and Wirral and to symbolise the grandeur and significance of the Queensway project.
