I remember my mate's dad had a bronze sword that he found in the quarry at some point. I've only just remembered this, it was mounted on the living room wall. Surely this would be pretty valuable now? I'd love to know where and what period it was from, and whether he was bullshitting me?
We used to play in the tunnel when we were kids till the bricked it up.
You couldn't get all the way through though as it was bricked up where it would have gone under the road, tuning it into an artificial cave of soughts.

when was it bricked up bud?
It would have been 84/85 as one of the lads I was hanging around with at the time moved away summer of 85.
i vaguely remember the tunnel from when i was a kid,just down a bit from the tree with the rope swing that i nearly killed myself on,how many of you have swung on that same tree?
I remember it getting re-bricked up in the late 80's, it must've been 'rumbled', and then bricked up again. Rope swing was excellent, I doubt there's another one on the Wirral of the same rope-swing-caliber. It's -still- there as well!
I remember it before it was bricked up,(also before the rope swing). This was in the 1940's. The tunnel was partly filled with rubble & earth. You could get in from the woods end, but the other end was blocked.
Myself and a school friend used to worm our way in over a pile of soil at the woods end. Only about an 18" gap between soil and crown of tunnel. The quarry side was bricked up. This would be 1958/59 ish. Don't remember the rope swing.
