History: The Bidston Hill tunnel project was born in 1941, probably out of the devastating effects of the Luftwaffe blitz on Merseyside. During these dark months many infrastructure targets were hit, many people were killed and many more made homeless. The first week of May 1941 saw the peak of...

I made my way to Bidston Hill yesterday on the recommendation of a report I saw on here. What a gorgeous place! The whole land was bought on the condition that it would be kept for public use and enjoyment, which is upheld today. The buildings date from the 1800s. No interior exploration as the...

Dont know much about the tunnels but i found some pictures on my phone and have decided to post them. Sorry for the quality the pictures were taken on an iphone 8 with bad lighting The entrance has been sealed 21.01.2020 Bottom of the first two ladders The other side of that hall...

recently breached by some genius with a pickaxe and lots of time. wasnt really the best explore as majority of the metal and fittings have been looted or sold for scrap over the years. so here is a bit of history on the site. There was a prevailing mood in the Government against deep shelters...

After trying to get into this place a few times I got a tip off that it was accessible again (i won’t post details). It won’t be open long as they’re already laying foundations to cover it up as shown in the photos. So if you’re planning on taking a look at get down their soon! Good luck

Finally found a way into this place! Heard about it from a friend who left us a rather cryptic clue "Look for the white tree". Anyway a few of us made our way down and were greeted by a huge group of people with torches illuminating the whole area like a Christmas tree which was not an ideal...

OK so after a long morning of searching around the seemingly "huge" area of Bidston hill on only pretty poor clues and falsified leads from the internet we finally found the entrance to the tunnels, and although heavily vandalized and splayed with only what can be described as poor graffiti, it...

This is my first post so I hope I've done everything right. Bidston's tunnels have been closed for a while now and were used as air raid shelters. They weren't always sealed though, for years they were open for any explorer to freely walk in but due to them being unsafe they were closed and...

We had originally visited to look at the lighthouse on site but were gifted a chance to get inside this lovely place as we sat outside for what seemed like ages watching a bloke in a campervan moving stuff into the place and a fair few other people wandering in and out and we were absolutely...

Visited With The Kwan This is something I've been waiting to see since I first got into exploring and I've been to Dodge Hill shelters in Stockport before I got to see these. Anyway, I was off work and the missus was in uni when I got a message from The Kwan; "Bidston Tunnels are open again...

Visited with Xan Asmodi So I heard a whisper and got straight on the phone to Xan who hot footed it down to see if the old tart really did have her draws down and within an hour we were standing inside the Bidston Deep shelters, we had missed getting in last time by hours, so we have made up...

Western Command headquarters, Chester is described as a large underground battle headquarters from WW2 The layout is basically 4 entrance/exit tunnels with rooms in the cross-tunnels. The sandstone in the cross-tunnels was lined and ceilings of steel beams and corrugated steel added –...

Bidston Hill Deep Shelter/Tunnels Ojay/Camera Shy/Leaf Hahaha not so big boy, I decided to go and waste some time after all ;) (In all seriousness, it must have taken some real effort to crack this) ____________ Some Shizzle: In 1941 there were proposals for two deep shelters, endorsed...

This place has not been done for a couple of years at least so when the opportunity presented itself off I went. First some History The above is copied from this page on OldWirral.com These tunnels have been opened up that many times over the years that generations of locals have...
