The Whistling Soldier of Liscard Battery
In 1858, Liscard Battery was built to protect the Port of Liverpool from a possible French Invasion
This Victorian Fort was built on top of an old Gunpowder Magazines site and was armed with Cannons.
The Redcoats patrolled the Fort Day & Night in anticipation of Attack.
The Huge Stone Structure was located on the Banks of the River Mersey and was later modified during the 1st World War until it was eventually decommissioned.
The Battery also contains its Ghost Legends, there has been reports from residents of a Whistling Soldier heard late at night Marching up and down patrolling the Front Gates.
Today, only the Battery walls and Front gates remain of this once secure Structure. However, it’s eerie presence is still felt by many after dark.
