The Red Noses were of Great value to the Wallasey Smugglers as they could be used as Hides & Dumps for Contraband near to the coast. These stone structures became known as Smugglers Caves.
You can see the entrance points still visible in this early 20th century Photograph and some of them ran farther down the coastline making it easier for the Smuggler to escape in ease from the threat of Customs Men guarding the Coastline.
Sadly the Red Noses were partially buried during the Kings Parade Complex construction and have not been seen for over 100 Years.
