Western Approaches and its collection

Western Approaches
Source

Western Approaches is a museum in Liverpool. Walk through hidden rooms and discover the stories locked in the wartime bunker that protected the tactics and secrets of the British Armed Forces plotting to bulwark the Western Approaches and aid the Allied victory. Glimpse the documents and tools the forces used to monitor enemy convoys and inform the British government of their findings whilst keeping their intelligence secret from the enemy, including one of only two surviving wartime phones which had a direct connection to the war cabinet in London. See where commanders and WRNS and WAAF personnel worked every day and night in the Map Room.

    Cracking hidden gem underneath the centre of the City!! Such an significant site in modern British if not Western history as this location served as the HQ for the Battle of the Atlantic, assisting in the safeguarding of the way of life for so many, and a key location in the Allied victory in WW2. Highly recommend.
