Olive Mount cutting is a 2 miles (3.2 km) sandstone railway cutting 4 miles (6.4 km) from Liverpool along the railway to Manchester which was opened in 1830. The cutting is 80 feet (24 m) deep and is situated between Wavertree Technology Park and Broad Green railway stations. The railway’s engineer George Stephenson had hoped to avoid the problem of creating the cutting for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway by routing the line further north.
