* The abandoned Mersey road tunnel you’re not supposed to know about but still maintained in good condition as an emergency route and film set.

* Joseph Williamson’s eccentric excavations under Edge Hill.

* The world’s first commercial wet dock, hidden away under the shopping heartland of Liverpool.

* The WW2 bunker near the Town Hall, where the Battle of the Atlantic was co-ordinated.

* The pirates’ and smugglers’ subterranean world under the streets of New Brighton, no longer a wartime munitions factory.

* A lost lake under Water Street (where else?)

* And why there is no atomic bunker under central Liverpool, with the nearest safe zone an hour’s drive away.
