I was born in 1948 and when I was 5 years old I went with my parents to Liverpool to visit relatives. I can remember going through the tunnel and then coming back on the ferry across the Mersey. I can remember walking along floating wooden docks that moved up and down when ships went past. My other memory of Liverpool was that there was a pub on every street corner.

What a great video... i used to work for Monks civil engineers back in the eighties for a while and we where relining the sewers all around bootle etc... you would not believe whats underground cast iron spiral staircases all decorative, yet nobody sees them, cast iron pillars all fancy. we had plans from the council on the sewers but we found some overflow galleries that where not on the plans and had nobody enter for well over a hundred years.. the fancy ironwork was amazing, iam in my late fifties now, remember it like yesterday.

There were very few problems with the system but is was very energy hungry before VSD which reduce inrush start current.

Well I hope you know all about the hidden tunnels under Bidston Hill and Tranmere, they are really interesting. Wirral Council refused in the 80s to open them up as a tourist attraction, describing them as "damp, dark and featureless and of no interest to the public". They missed out on £Millions as plenty of people want to see all that. There are ways in and forums like 28dayslater have some pictures. There are also caves under New Brighton and I went down those in the mid 1980s, they are accessed from the back garden of a house near to the mini Golf Course. The owners opened it up for a day to get money for some charity event. They were smugglers caves, but the new owners are excavating them and do not allow people in. Near to Birkenhead Central Railway station there are two disused railway line tunnels that go down to Woodside, on to the site of the bus depot now. That area is soon to be redeveloped as a massive new housing estate - which will DESTROY the *ORIGINAL* Birkenhead Central Station Ticket Office which is just by the entrance to the Birkenhead Tunnel under the flyover. The developers know it's Grade 1 Listed, but have exposed it to help it erode and "fall down by accident" to avoid it getting in the way. Under Central Roundabout there are old Victorian toilets, still preserved and locked off to the public. There are lots of hidden things, but most fascinating is what is below ground.

Amazing! I know Liverpool very well as photographed many buildings but had no idea that this was here to visit so thanks for that. About 13 years ago I was given the keys to the then derelict Stanley Dock (now Titanic hotel) for the day by the security guard (I think it was Ronnie Pickering) as I explained I was a photographer. I managed to get some good shots, spotted some old props from past tv dramas that were filmed (also they filmed captain America/Sherlock Holmes) One image I shot was a big iron door looking into the warehouse. I sent it to a photo libary and spotted it used for the film poster of the movie Looper (they tinted it blue and added some cgi) with Bruce willis some time later. Suffice to say I got paid peanuts for it's use, but I can dine out on the Kudos I suppose. I think they are still renovating the main warehouse (largest brick built structure in Europe I think then) which I didn't have access to. That is something perhaps to consider. Also Williamson's tunnels are great to visit. They go all over Liverpool and they keep discovering more as they never got to the bottom of why the rich tobacco magnet built them.
