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

There isnt a Brow Road Exit its in the RODS.
I think that was us getting mixed up until the size of the tunnels was mapped.

I will try and dig out the picture where the Shaft Exit is,
yes where Whelan found the spiders nest.

One way could be would be to let off a smoke bomb
at the top of the ladder or something like that.
And smoke or odour could seep through.

O even them walkie talkies that's if they
go through rock.

I have been told that the tunnels link up.
Ive been told that there are tunnels under the observatory,
and awaiting for a book to be shown to me as its no longer
in print. Apparently this book covers all the tunnels around
the Wirral area I'm lead to believe.

But that book and info may take some time to come back to
me as in months or weeks who knows? But they do say there
linked etc... But all hear say at the moment.

Nice pics Joe some there that we havnt seen before.
Well done

Exit above the Shaft ?



That is a man made hill.

1. The Trunk of the Tree is far too short.
2. Its pretty much a Rubble Hill.
3. Its out of sorts with the natural flow of the landscape.
4. Red Brick and Cement are present.

Its either this one or the other place.
I'm going to go for this one.

Nice pics joe, gonna try and go through mine now, damn rooms like a computer factory at the mo due to me building 2 pc`s so please bear with me

the only way I can think of finding the shaft exit without spending a fortune on equipment is using bluetooth. If it can go through concrete? Especially that thick?

But if theres a chance its thin enough, if someone has bluetooth on at the top of the ladder and someone on the hill tries to detect it, that might work?

Sorry for the wait guys,been a bit busy with building pc`s, taking kids out and going to wedding and party, i`m knackered, fell asleep twice today, lol.
Not many decient pics i`m afraid but heres some anyway....

good pics

lmao at first 1, i look like im doing the robot

Been out and about with the GPS
I cant get google to make sense of the readings.
So if any one can pin them on a Google or Virtual Earth Map
it will be very helpful for the cause.

As in we can overlay joes map and have it all boxed off

You can now see where the Shaft Exit is

Enjoy.

The Crutch is no longer there lol

dont worry i have 2 here! was moving my shed and a massive slab fell on debbies foot breaking it in 2places . looks like we all been to hospital

ste i hope every think is ok mate.

Bloody hell.

Everyone Get well soon

Heres the map with your GPS Positions mark

Excellent

2 things

1. How did yu do it in google.
2. Can you overlay the map that matty got? Stretch is or what ever.


I@m going for my tea now as i'm still editing the tunnels topics.

your gps is in the wrong position for the exit as the maps dont overlay correctly..see pic

my maps is sort of to scale, the leg of the main entrance should actually be a bit shorter though.

Ive measured the distance using google maps and using our measurements it should be 167.7m (or 550ft) from the shaft exit.

That puts it closer to the houses/bus stop but you dont have a pic of the GPS positions?

I just typed the gps positions in google maps +53.40469, -3.07311 e.t.c

Where the exit should be according to measurements from within the tunnels
