The George Dock Building is the heart of the Mersey Tunnels, which run from Liverpool under the Mersey to Birkenhead and Wallasey. Both tunnels (Queensway Tunnel and Kingsway Tunnel) are monitored by a 12-man control center on a 24/7 shift, located in the George Dock Building. There are also 5 ventilation towers with huge fans with a diameter of 28 meters that bring fresh air into the tunnel and suck out bad air. In front of the building there is a lovingly restored toll booth, as it was in use when the Queensway Tunnel opened.
