The Dungeon is a 1.2-hectare (3.0-acre) Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) situated 1 mile north-west of Heswall, on the Wirral Peninsula, England. The site was notified in 1988 due to its geological features which show the Tarporley Siltstone Formation of the Mercia Mudstone Group.

War Memorial

Port Sunlight · 11 miles

Set within the model village of Port Sunlight on the Wirral, the war memorial occupies the most prominent position at the junction of The Causeway and The Diamond, the two broadest avenues in the settlement. Conceived by the village’s founder, William Lever, the monument was intended to commemorate the employees of Lever Brothers who fell in the First World War. Lever commissioned the sculptor Goscombe John as early as 1916; the finished work was unveiled on 3 December 1921 by Sergeant E. G. Eames, blinded at the Somme, and Private R. E. Cruickshank, a Victoria Cross recipient, both former Lever workers. The stone is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade I listed building and bears the names of staff who died in both World Wars. Constructed from granite, the monument centres on a runic cross set upon an octagonal plinth that supports eleven bronze figures, including three soldiers, a wounded man attended by a nurse, a seated woman with infants, a girl with her brother and a Boy Scout. The surrounding enclosure features a circular parapet broken by four stepped approaches, each flanked by distinct reliefs of children holding wreaths and additional reliefs depicting the Naval, Military, Anti-Aircraft and Red Cross services. Four seating areas and flower beds lie between the steps, while the overall height reaches approximately 11.6 metres and the diameter spans about 22.4 metres, providing a substantial focal point for reflection within the village’s public space.
