Bomb sites birkenhead/help with old map symbols - 2nd Jun 2015 9:22pm
Hi all
Wondering if you could help me. Do you know if there is somewhere which highlights on a map the bomb sites in Birkenhead. London has got something like this but not sure if we would have something ?
The reason I ask is that the field by my
House in bidston village has a large depression in the field, almost looks as though a pond was there which I know there wasn't . It's a circular depression and there's a trail away from it as well. When the grass it cut you notice it.
After looking at some old maps, in particular one from1874 at the spot of this point in the field there is a symbol which I can't upload because I am on my
Mobile but the way I can describe is circles in circles in circles .....
Iv checked the old symbols and there are gravel pits and sand pits but it's not the same symbol? Any ideas?
For information, I have metal detected this area and I found an old steel harrow in this hole so there was farming on the field. But the hole doesn't look natural.......
