Wirralnews.co.uk seems goosed as I type this but did you see the recent story of the owner fearing for it's future and how he may have to speak to developers who approached him regarding apartment development?

This may be a blessing in disguise for him, I just hope he didn't lose too much in the blaze.

That is not good news, hope all is alright there.
I'm thinking maybe a fryer left on?

If it is used for development what happens to the tunnels?

I really don't know what would happen to them. I doubt they'd be filled but then again if the place is demolished they could be lost into history forever.

I'll see what I can uncover during the course of the day.

I'd say from speaking to them that you'll be OK.
