Wapping or Edge Hill Tunnel in Liverpool, England, was constructed to enable goods services to operate between Liverpool docks and Manchester, as part of the planned Liverpool and Manchester Railway. It was the first tunnel in the world to be bored under a city. The tunnel is 2,030 metres (1.26 mi) long, running downhill from Edge Hill cutting, near the former Crown Street Station goods yard in the east of the city, to Park Lane Goods Station near Wapping Dock.
