200 years old tunnel in British city of Liverpool have been as mysterious as any underground of tunnels can be. The network of tunnels which were built 200 years ago by a tobacco merchant Williamson are still remember by his name.
Joseph Williamson was a successful British businessman, property owner and philanthropist but he is mostly remembered today because of his tunnels which are a secretive network of tunnels.
He was a devout Christian and many believe that he ordered the tunnels because he wanted to prepare for the end of the world. Some believe that he wanted to help the poor people in a period when people were jobless so he ordered the construction of tunnels.
Another theory is that the land was not useable because of huge pits, so he constructed the arches over these pits to level the land. As he was a property owner this theory seems possible but no evidence supports this or any other claim.
