Mersey tunnel ventilation buildings

North John Street
The Mersey tunnels are ventilated through air shafts and pumping stations in both Liverpool and Birkenhead . In Liverpool the most visible and famous is the pumping station on Strand Street , it is an Art Deco masterpiece most worthy of a visit . Another pumping station less visible is at North John Street , it's size may make a passer by believe they were walking next to a wall , however high on the wall there are some excellent Art Deco features . In Union Street off Old Hall Street just before you come into Rumford Place there is another pumping station . This building is much smaller than the other two and it is built in brick like the large station in Birkenhead . This building has a number of Art Deco features made in the brickwork .
