World War 2 ammo dumps

In !953 in Kirkby near Liverpool.Ex army soldier Harry Watts was employed by the then Liverpool City Council to transport and bury United States Military hardware.Driving for a now untracable company based in Yardley Road Kirkby his job was to collect from Burtonwood Airbase all kinds of hardware from aircraft engines wrapped in greased canvas to guns and bazookas,including ammunition and shells.Two of the locations for the dump are.One Knowsley Delph,now filled in and built on by Telewest.The other is facing News International to the right of Yorkshire Metals,the hill.And it went on untill the 1960's resulting in some "unknown chemicals" on the now landscaped KIrkby Moss.Which,incidently contains underground cistern water supplies.
