Item title reads: “World’s longest underwater tunnel. To cost £5,000,000 and take 5 years to complete. Exclusive Pathe Gazette pictures taken 250 ft. down the shaft!“ Liverpool. M/S men at work in a shaft, drilling, moving trucks of debris. Exterior high angle shot of an open area in a city with walkways across a park. There is a brief shot of an archway and cyclists. Two men stand by a lake, a woman stands by a tree as a man takes a punt out onto a lake. M/S of a large greenhouse with a man coming out and walking away. Near a dam, some men look at the river bed below. There is a building nearby, probably an electricity power station. A nurse ushers some children inside a hut on bleak hilltop. There are other nurses in pinafores and caps with children dressed in white sun hats and grey looking knickers. The children run about in the sun in a crazy way, and the motley crew pose for the camera in their fantastic knickers, beaming. A nurse holds one nice big fat baby. (01:47:58) M/S of a windy scene n
