Merseyside Police Launch Search for Construction Team as St Anne Street Station Reopens After 50 Years

Merseyside Police have initiated a search for the construction team responsible for building St Anne Street Station over five decades ago. This development comes as the historic station reopens its doors to the public following a comprehensive refurbishment. The officers are actively seeking individuals who worked for Cubitts, including those known by their nicknames ‘Swooper,’ ‘Smiler,’ and the ‘Boss,’ believing they may possess critical information regarding the original site’s development.

The search was prompted by the discovery of a time capsule during the refurbishment project. Hidden within the structure of the building, the capsule contained a confession note from the construction team, alluding to a “crime” committed during the station’s construction. The time capsule also included a newspaper dated Friday, October 29, 1971, which coincided with the day British MPs voted in favor of joining the European Union with a majority of 112.
