The footbridge is situated between Somerville Road and Manley Road. Approach from the Somerville Road side when searching for the cache. The footbridge is directly opposite one of the entrances to Victoria Park. The park is very pleasant and quite large with a children's play area, playing fields and a tennis and basketball court. As you approach your bridge there is land to your left which used to be allotments and belongs to the park. In recent years, it's upkeep has been taken on by a group of volunteers and it now goes under the title of , "Waterloo Forest Garden". On your right is a privately owned house known locally as The Lodge. It has had quite a chequered history over the years- it used to belong to the Park and my dad who worked for the Parks Dept for over 40 years tells me it was once being considered for use as a morgue. Thankfully, that plan didn't go ahead.
Walking across the bridge you will see a couple of bullet holes which were shot through the bridge during WW2 by enemy planes. One has gone straight through one side of the bridge and out the other. Looking at them makes you realise how low the planes must have come. It would be very interesting to have more information about the bullet holes but despite extensive research, I am unable to unearth any further information. Crossing the bridge, you can go straight ahead to Manley Road or turn left onto a cinder path running alongside the railway line. The path leads to Crosby or Waterloo depending on which direction you take.
There is on road parking available on Somerville Road and Waterloo Railway staion and bus stops are 5-10 minutes walk away.
The cache itslf is a small clip nano cache so tweezers are required. The cache should be relatively easy to find but please ensure it is returned to it's hiding place. It is in a small plastic bag to hopefully protect it from water damage.
