Description

The Ventilation Station to the Mersey Road Tunnel is a Grade II listed structure built between 1925 and 1934, designed by Sir Basil Mott and J.A. Brodie, with Herbert J. Rowse as the architect. Constructed from Portland stone, this large tower-like building emphasizes mass and vertical lines, housing giant ventilating fans. It is set on a massive rectangular base that features windows arranged in vertical bands, adorned with Art Deco ornamentation in horizontal bands above. The tower itself contains a very tall slender blind window, which is flanked by attached reeded columns.
