Burton reservoir is covered in gorse bushes and is on Dunstan Lane (by Burton Mushrooms
) , there is a trig point hidden in the gorse bushes on top of the reservoir as well.

What a brilliant use for an old reservoir - a mushroom farm. Pity they didn't do that with Neston Reservoir as well instead of flattening it fot houses.
We're like Mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed a load of shite.
A mushroom farm???? that's a mad one, but I suppose they gotta grow somewhere.

There are places like this, a bit bigger though. In the event of a nuclear holocaust they were to be used by local government people and the great and the good, to run the country. They are situated all over the country and some are now being sold off because they are outdated. Inside were dorms, comms centres, kitchens, rec rooms, the whole shebang. I did a comms exercise in one in the 1960's, not on the Wirral I might add. They were billed as Ministry of Works Depots for local consumption.
We had a mushroom farm in the old railway tunnel between Whitwell and St Lawrence. Fabulous place for them, all dank and dark when the ends were closed off. It was a bit spooky too, with just a few dim bulbs in the roof. He sold a few different kinds to make it more interesting, and very cheap by the basket, but it closed some years ago.
