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

oh ok

Hi!
This is AMAZING! I knew there were tunnels under the hill as there are some arches cut into the hill that you can get to from Boundary road. They are all blocked off, but I always wanted to know what was behind them! Great work, have enjoyed following your progress.
On another note, I have been down the tunnels at New Brighton when I was a kid. A house near the Red Noses has an entrance leading to the tunnels, and they used to have one open day every year, where you could go down there. I remember one small tunnel that was supposed to go all the way to St Hilary's brow, I wanted to go and find out if it did but my dad pulled me back out... always wanted to go back there and check it out.

Thanks for your comments

We will be / are making enquires about the New Brighton Tunnels,
but that's a different topic that we will hopefully be posting
soon.

Glad you enjoyed reading our progress, it was fun and hard work,
but a Team Effort that got all the information out.

As i drove past the "Entrance" tonight it looks like it could
be once again be getting sealed up?
I say that as there was a community Patrol van at the edge
of the trees and a community police officer watching the van
i think and taking to some young kids.

Only guessing, but if its not i cant see it being very much longer.

They might just be dealing with some drunken youths, it is friday after all.

They have been there for at least 2hrs that i know of,
3pm - 5pm. Gut feeling is something is being changed.

Go over and have a look, put an end to the speculation lol.

3pm - 5pm, kids are getting drunk earlier and earlier nowadays. Surely they would need a council works van with tools etc.

bad news people went to go and investigate to see how are entrance is and look what theyve done.

there have been metal plates welded around the entrace its all been cemented up at the bottom and bolted dwn to the top of the rock.

damn they dont want you going in there do they...

That's actually embarrassing.
Did you stop laughing kyle?

Hardly environmentally friendly, nor fitting into the local
natural environment.

That checker plate has to be robbed its rusty lol

Thanks for the pic kyle,
is it flat the front or does it have a step in it ?

fook me, any need for the amount of steel and concrete.

looks like someone like me could squeeze through the gap on the left still.

lol looks easy. half ass job

Wonder what the big idea is why they dont want you in there ?? cause by the looks at the photos the tunnels arnt leaking, they arnt falling apart and top it all off it looks great in there.

i know its deffo like they wantin to hide something tho, love the botch job on the weldin and the concrete....
