The Mole of Edge Hill: The World of Williamson's Tunnels

By David Clensy

Williamson's Tunnels remain one of Liverpool's most intriguing mysteries some two centuries after they were constructed by the city's greatest eccentric, Joseph Williamson. In the early years of the nineteenth century, this rich merchant paid men to dig a labyrinth that stretches for miles beneath the city. In The Mole of Edge Hill, David Clensy presents a dual approach to understanding this singular character.

The first half of the book is a short work of fiction in which the author brings the eerie subterranean world to life, imagining what Williamson's life may have been like. In the second half, the writer presents an in-depth history of the real Mole of Edge Hill.
