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

still good here ...11.30 bus stop :>

is that jonah ?

Were not climbing trees or anything.
It will do him good to get out you or him.
And it will be interesting too
I would love to see him there

its me mark... which bus stop? will see if i can muster up the enthusiasm....

The one on Hoylake Road thats the main road
that goes past the "Main Entrance"

Driving from tescos towards Bidston the field is on the right,
and the bus stop is on the right next to the first houses on
the right side where the field is.

Making sense ?

Will drop you a pm

ok matey... like i say will see what plans are and try and drag myself up there...

That entrance that is mentioned that is to the left of the main entrance, I know the one, that was accessable in the late 80's. Now the wooden beam is now just visable and council have back filled it with concrete and stones, pretty much impossible to access. Though you can access it from the main entrance when it was open. The thought of vehicle access is quite right, I read that vehicles would have been coming and going to take the sandstone away just like the tranmere tunnels, though the slope up to the main entrance was made by the fill out of the tunnels.
Main entrance



The entrance further to the left



Another cutting in the rock between the main entrance and the entrance with the wooden beam, just a corner of it though but definately man made, probably just storage alcove to stop equipment getting wet.

so wheels, thats now impregnable.....? no need, just open them to the public for gods sake, or is there something to hide ??

If that doesnt raise suspision i dont know what is.. Theres gotta be something in there.. Maybe its a Weapons dump ? Maybe the steel door is controlled by Remote control ? hehe seriously though now people know where the tunnel entrance cause anyone cn see that.
