The Birkenhead Site is a Territorial Army centre so it is MOD land. The may well be gucci stuff there.
The Bromborough site is behind Candy...It's since been dug up. It was I belive a water storage facility..at least thats what OS maps used to say IIRC.

Sort of, the mounds where protected multi fuel, semi submerged, storage vessels, they acted as a buffer store for the MOD fuel network, the network was updated in the 80's and bypassed the site by some 300m. There was a direct link from there to the old jety that is still located almost in a direct line to the river.

When I went to Birkenhead Tec, one of the other class member told us and the lecturer. That an older member of his family told him there was a celler under a celler which was not on the original plans. The lecturer said this was true and originally it was going to be a hospital but never used as one
