There is one of these shelters located between Huyton and Whiston alongside the main rail line. Another shelter is located at Halsnead old hall estate ( now static caravan park) in Whiston by the Whiston Halsnead juniors fields.

Derek Twigg won’t be the MP after 4th July as they’ve changed the boundary lines and he’s running for Widnes and Halewood (dead cert labour seat though). Not sure who the new one will be, whoever the Labour candidate is for there though I’m sure.

Or just visit the library and look at old info on what this building was for. Personally, I think it was the entrance to the underground storage area which stored the remains of the mustard gas from wig island.
