A place I have to go to.

Just up the road (20 min walk) is a place called Woolton Village quite a historic place but it's little known history is that it used to be a major sandstone quarry. Most of the older more impressive civic buildings and landmarks are made from Woolton stone (as are a few across the world), one of the last buildings to be made from Woolton sandstone was the Anglican Cathedral and all Quarry operations stopped in the late 80's / early 90's and housing was built in the main works. But when I was a kid I was told that they had blown up some tunnels in the area to seal them for safety. But still as a kid me and a few friends took a look around and found nothing.

But... It looks like one still survives one of the much much older ones.

Take a look at this thread for pictures.

Oh belive me I am planning this, I am going to walk up with the Dog on the morrow to check out the lay of the land (access) and I already have my Best mate informed and his inner child is also stoked I'll be taking pics lots of them, and we are planning on revisiting some of the places we explored as kids now.
