Forums Forums Wirral History : Chasing the Past Wirral History Bidston Hill Underground Tunnels Part 1

good pics wheels.

I got a bit of a lie in this morning, didnt get out of bed till 8:15

right i'm going pacing lol
call me i will be lonley.

I'm back and the results of me pacing out the tunnels
above the ground is very very interesting

I will dig out a picture of where the exit is,
bare in mind it will be a rough guess but it puts us
in the general area.

So while i'm looking we can say we have found

1. Dog Leg Exit @ the Rods, but covered under earth.
2. Emergency escape from the Ladders

( Trying to create an air of suspense, can i hear a woooo )

I got one pic that I thinks a goodun.

Excellent mate
Just shows the length of them, and there not as
restaurant warming that Whelan has us believe lol

WikiWoo

another 15 mins brb

I cant find the landscape picture i took with Totpop
so this will have to for now



My Count ended right in between...

2 & 3

Personally i go for the man made hill i mentioned with
totopop / the one where Jonah put his camera under the slab
or the one nearest the cock pit thing.



That is a man made hill.

1. The Trunk of the Tree is far too short.
2. Its pretty much a Rubble Hill.
3. Its out of sorts with the natural flow of the landscape.
4. Red Brick and Cement are present.

Its either this one or the other place.
I'm going to go for this one.

the one where whelan put his hand down and found a spider?

as that was concreated over.

the top of the shaft has definately been concreated over

So, whats/wheres next?

I'd say have an explore see if we can find the exits on the outside - the shaft and the one on brow road?

Other than that, I can't see much more happening with them for now, unless we find more information, such as the possibility that the other underground tunnels are linked to it (perhaps through the part which looks undeveloped blocked up with sand?)

next tunnel next tunnel! were we going>??

lets go lets go lets GO!!!!!!

great pictures lads, really atmospheric

Couple of my pics

I think we should try and revisit in a year to see how tux is getting on lol
