Thanks for all the info it's been very helpful.I belive the picture roobarb posted is a pic taken from otters tunnel as the post just outside of the tunnel is still there now .I never knew it used to be a tip site, seeing how beatiful the place is now u'd never have guessed it.The tunnel was built for train tracks to be laid above and was named otters tunnel after builders noticed the large numbers of otters living in and around dibbinsdale brook.
That's the only one I could think of but I don't remeber the tip stretching that far back to be honest.

With reference to the railway line on that map, if you follow it to the end at Birkenhead it shows it ending exactly where Green Lane station is now. The map is dated 1840, but in September 1840 the railway company opened Grange Lane station, over 1/4 mile further on, on the other side of the inlet of Tranmere Pool. Since there is no record of a terminal station ever at Green Lane, it must mean that the map was made during the construction of the railway. Yes, there's quite a lot of other interesting detail on that map. Look a bit further across between Bidston and Claughton and you'll also see the little known Flaybrick Railway which ran down towards Wallasey Pool. Sorry for going off topic!
