January 28th 2010 - Cobbled street, Herculaneum Dock

This passageway connects Riverside Drive with Grafton Street in Dingle. Beneath this street are the original tunnels from the old Herculaneum Dock, used at the time for storing explosives. There is also a sandstone tunnel where the overhead railway cut through to Dingle. Like much of the area it appears long forgotten...

January 27th 2010 - Liverpool Culture Mural

All over Liverpool you will stumble across amazing examples of public art. I was carrying out a photographic study of the old Dingle Tunnel area, when I found this hidden gem today. Well worth a look, it depicts scenes from the city's colourful, and sometimes troubled, history - from the Toxteth riots to the dockers' strike, alongside other cutural motifs. The artist, Alan Murray, painted a number of themed murals around the city to celebrate the Capital of Culture status in 2008.
