Underground and largely unseen for almost
160 years, a section of pipe instrumental in
powering Liverpool has been "retired".
The 20in wide cast iron gas pipe directly
under Bath Street had served the city well,
but finally reached the end of its life and has
been replaced with tough, durable plastic by
gas network Cadent.
A spokesman said: "It's amazing to think
it has done what it's done since 1860. It's an
incredible piece of engineering."
