Western Approaches Museum

The first position on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Merseyside is the Western Approaches Museum. The Battle of the Atlantic, which pitted the Allies against the German U-boat assault in the Atlantic Ocean, took place in a complex of World War Two bunkers that now houses the Western Approaches Museum in Liverpool. The museum gives you the chance to travel back in time and have a one-of-a-kind experience where you can go inside and actually live history.

Attacks by German planes and U-boats on ships coming in from the continent. Combined Operations relocated to Derby House at Exchange Flags on February 7, 1941. The division was known as Western Approaches Command and took its name from the section of the Atlantic Ocean that is guarded, a rectangle immediately west of the British Isles. Derby House's basement was given considerable reinforced concrete protection and a bunker was constructed beneath it. It had a 7 ft concrete roof and 3-foot-deep concrete walls, was gas and bomb safe, and had 100 rooms totaling 55,000 square feet.

Visitors can now explore the entire bunker as well as the confidential communications and mapping rooms because the bunker has undergone a thorough renovation. People can learn about the conflict's progress and the difficulties associated with maintaining accessible maritime routes thanks to displays and information.

The Central Operations Room, the cipher room, a street scene from the 1940s, the NAAFI canteen, and the community school facility are all included in the tour. Also on exhibit is the original Gaumont Kalee Dragon projector that Winston Churchill used to view classified war films.
