There is so much detail in this week's prompt that it's difficult to know where to start, especially when you have no photos of your own that are appropriate.
Let's look at the prompt again,
We know that it's Liverpool - a city where I have only been to Anfield, the football ground. Forced to look at the picture my eyes alighted on the sign showing the direction to a tunnel.
I have been through many rail and road tunnels in my time but never one on a canal like the one protected by this sign in Leicestershire.

Hyde Bank Tunnel is only 924 feet (300m) long and despite being unusually wide it has no towpath. If you are still confused by the sign - it means you are halfway through.
