Deep below Liverpool's streets are the historic Subterranean tunnels & chambers, built by Georgian philanthropist and merchant Joseph Williamson; come for a guided tour, find out about the unique history of this corner of Edge Hill, Liverpool.

FoWT invites you to a special tour again this year. We will be opening up the chambers beneath Joseph Williamson's House on Mason Street. See the dramatic Banqueting Hall and Wine Bins, quarried out of the local sandstone in the early 1800s for yourself. This tour on foot takes about an hour and descends deep below street level. There are many objects to see, each of which tells a story of industrial and social history.
