I have already asked this question on another thread,but i think that maybe it was the wrong place for it.
Can anyone remember the sandstone caves on Tyburn Road near Salford Bridge?
I have recently read that they were inhabited from 1490,and were used as air raid shelters during WW2.
A picture would be a real bonus.

Yes indeed they were in the Gravelly Hill area, I had some postcards of them which I lent to someone who dissapeared with them...the dwarf caves rings a bell
