hoylake / new brighton ww2 ? - 8th Aug 2010 7:53pm
I have just been out with the kids on the rocky little island just off hoylake shore (in between hoylake and hilbre island) and the kids noticed holes drilled into the sandstone. These holes are equally spaced apart and form squares (we spotted three of them), there is also a line of holes drilled into what looks like a flattened piece of sandstone. Does anyone know if anything was ever built there? My intial thought is that it has something to do with coastal defences during WW2.
Also up at new brighton (at the start of the concrete walkway going from the old derby pool to moreton is a large hill with a cocnrete base panel fence in front of it- some graffiti on this refered to it as a gun site, is this true?)are there any pictures ?
and finally does anybody know why they havent built on borough road playing fields near the shafts boys club??? There have been loads of surveys performed and rumours of another estate being built but it has never happened. I heard a rumour suggesting it was because it used to be a quarry for brick making. any info on the above would be great as would old pics of the mount estate!
