Williamson’s Tunnels and the heritage centre were obviously a massive part/influence for our Flux series of Doctor Who. Would be amazing if the Who community shared this appeal widely and/or were able to help before this looming deadline. See below and please RT!
If you've ever marvelled at the vaulted Victorian subterranea of Liverpool's Williamson tunnels you have The Heritage Centre to thank. Unfortunately, it will be closing for good on June 1st if they can't raise £12k.
Here's how you can help
