Steam wagon water filling point's. - 27th May 2009 8:08pm
Not that long ago (but before i joined Wirral history) i did a bit of reserch in our area into water filling points for steam vehicles. To cut a long story short the trail led me to two places on the Wirral where two of these historic items where located.
Both where located on the A41, i soon found the one located in Great Sutton but was unable to locate the one in Bromborough despite ringing W.B.C to see if they could help (no better than useless in reality). The lady i spoke to at EPNBC on the other hand was very helpfull and and even offerd to send me a picture.
The website i have linked (i hope) shows the C.W&C website for one of these items but the website seems to say there are two of these "water points" in their area but yet i can only find one.
My original source of the water point locations said there where only two (Great sutton and Bromborough) in our area.
Come on you lot lets see if we can find these two "missing" items of history.
