Exploring Bidston AIR RAID SHELTER - Birkenhead (2025)
Bidston Deep Shelter also known as "The Biddy Tunnels" .
Bidston Underground Tunnels For many of the earlier generation the tunnels beneath Bidston were a place to play, a place to explore and a place to hide from the world. But for many years now the tunnels have been shut off from the outside world due to lack of maintenance and persistent health & safety issues. With the exception of the occasional opening to the public, the tunnels are now permanently closed. Minutes of Wirrals Civil Defence Emergency Committee in 1941 reveal that the peninsulas skilled workforce saw it granted almost unprecedented funds to establish two deep air raid shelters. One sprawling under Tranmere around Olive Mount, Thompson Street and Holborn Hill.. The other under Bidston Hills Rhododendron Garden with its entrance facing Hoylake Road. Tickets were to be handed out to ensure access to residents in the event of an air raid. By June 1943 the final bill for the project was £163;48,006 with the corporation paying £163;6510. The tunnels were 7 feet wide and 6 feet high with a large arched roof. A reporter in 1943 advised that due to the unreliable nature of the rock costs increased, and it was noted that the unskilled workforce available had been markedly inferior to the Tranmere Shelter. Less explosives were required in Bidston, and the spoil was tipped close to the entrance which accounts for the rise in the grassed land around the Hoylake Road area. Emergency Committee minutes also reveal that during construction the project was plagued with trespassers and vandalism, Although it never saw the scale of use it was intended for, tickets do still exist and people did shelter under Bidston. There were 2213 bunks and 793 seats, as well as a canteen staff dormitory, toilets, medical posts and a ventilation shaft which could double as an emergency escape hatch if necessary
