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

big thanx to you folks for the pics, bit of a shock, its like fort knox now, holy shit, once again thanx tho

Hi, I'm a newbie here. Just want to thank you all for your posts and photos. I enjoy a bit of exploring myself, but tend to go alone when I'm back in Liverpool or Wirral. I was mooching around on Bidston Hill myself a few weeks ago, but didn't have time to do a full recce, as I had to take a load of shots of Liverpol's waterfront. I'll be keeping an eye on this amazing thread for updates. Nice one chaps. Thanks alot.
Dave

No problem, glad you found the thread interesting...

Welcome to the site btw.

Afternoon' all thats left of the exit on Bidston Hill, somewhere under that rubble.

That's not the exit mate

Your about 20 strides away back to the path.
If you scroll back through the topic we have pictures
of where the exit on bidston hill is

With GPS Readings..

Thanks for showing us your pictures,
we think your red bricks are an old home guard look out.

is that the one we found mark ?

yep looks very much like it

god i remember that day...lol... was good fun, me and wheels lifting that up to try and gain better access...lol

Ahh a dad's army look out post eh, to be honest there is quite a decent view from there, good stuff

Cant find the pictures though of where the exit is though

You should find the information around about that topic.

Look for a Picture Like this one, as there all together.
With GPS Ordinates too

You would have thought photographs would have been taken whilst the tunnel was in construction of either inside or entrances or exits, certainly a construction of this nature even though not finished would have been recorded by the corporation for reference.

We asked the very same questions

And the reason there are none we have found is :

1) It was /is part of the Ministry of defense.
2) At the time of construction all photographers were out
taking pictures of bomb damaged houses?

(This was so joe smith couldn't put a false claim in for damage,
So pretty busy times to say the least.)

But i don't give up hope that there may be one out there
somewhere? (Your granddads Suitcase? )

Mark.

Haha sorry Mark yeah,I got my sister to take her laptop to my parents and i provided the scanner, my scanner is about 4 years old so Windows vista spat it out like a baby's dummy. Did have a look though thre case, majority was family photographs...admitidedly taken from the nearby area...how interesting to other poeple I don't know, my sister does have a scanner that does work with her pc but her and free time don't mix.

Not to worry, when ever but always appreciated

hi i have been always interested in the tunnels, stumbling across your findings however never been in them. there are tunnels in tranmere aswell i would be pleased to tag along on any future pursuits.
