I'm sure I know the manager of the Baltic Fleet from a mate of a mate, we used to beer there after bellringing at the Cathedral. If so, I'll enquire and waffle on about Tunnels and ask him if I can go down. I've put enough money in his till over the years !!!
If the guy who manages it now is the same one who managed it a year ago there really won't be any problem whatsoever..."I'm sure I know the manager of the Baltic Fleet from a mate of a mate, we used to beer there after bellringing at the Cathedral.

The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

I worked on the Baltic Fleet during renovation in the late 1980`s.
The basement has big steel doors in the walls, we assumed that they would be flood gates. but you never know
the gates are fairly big and solid.
Look at the history of the site. It is on the solid land side of the docks. No docks has ever been there. There may have been a warehouse there before the pub was built. Many tunnels under pubs are short and run under the pavements so the draymen can drop the barrels down Many would start to leak water from the pavements above, so were bricked up with rubble behind.

Thank you Miss. Back on topic. I can confirm that there was a big back passage in the female toilets of the Baltic Fleet last xmas, it was my ma-in-law.
i just found this site...this is all very interesting.
i know the brewer from the baltic fleet! i am sure he knows about these tunnels i shall be sure to ask him about it when i see him.
I spoke to the brewer from the Baltic Fleet last week.
He said that there are tunnels there, two I think he said, one of which has been bricked up. And the pub was there before the docks were, but one of them goes to where the docks are now I think. I think he said nobody knows what the tunnels were used for. Sorry I couldn't be of much use! I thought he might let me in on exciting secrets but he didn't seem to know any.
