Thank you so much for this documentry. Means a lot to me. My Parents were both soldiers, the UK in WW11. My Dad from Liverpool and my Mam from Dublin and through them they gave me a great love for mankind, true Heros we are to go and still go through such troubling times.

its a terrible place now

THE WEDNESDAY PLAY "The Golden Vision" Series 7;Episode 22 April 17,1968

MY MOTHER'S FAMILY WERE BORN AND LIVED IN LIVERPOOL. DURING A DECEMBER 1940 AIR RAID, HER SISTER IN LAW, AND HER MOTHER, WERE BOTH KILLED. THE SISTER-IN-LAW HAD ONLY JUST ARRIVED AT HER MOTHER'S HOUSE, WHEN A BOMB HIT IT DIRECTLY. NO OTHER HOUSE WAS HIT IN THAT ROAD. SUCH IS FATE.

Who’s singing leaving of Liverpool at the start? Up the toffees btw 💙💙

Tremendous video , it paints a picture of how life was , I spoke to an old lady from Bootle who said when the bombers first arrived it was daylight , blue sky , the bombers were so low you could see the figures in the cockpits . Liverpool took some terrible damage . The rubble is still there at Burbo bank Crosby.

Legendary Trevor McDonald voice over

Sir William Regal brought me here

Lose the music

Lee Scott put Runcorn on the map.

Brilliant

Love this video..Frank is a brilliant historian of liverpool

Thought as much. Reads a book, and makes a video. Tell us something we don’t know, mate.

35:47 This was my great grandad, He died around 7 years before I was born, I have only heard stories about him but what I have heard he sounded like a great man, rest in peace...

My grandad was on this video Jimmy harrison ❤

I've been searching for this for years. At 35:47 minutes in, my dear Grandad Jimmy Harrison. I've not heard his voice for a very long time. He sadly passed away in October 1998. He told me the very same story. I miss you grandad ❤❤

Frank you are a star watching Liverpool history .My good lady is from Runcorn and we have watched all your Documentary's in one hit fantastic and funny

absolutely fantastic

I lived on King James Sq, Southgate :D

call the POLICE Elizabeth Olsen says call the POLICE guys

We fell, we rebuilt. We didn't go scrounging to other countries. We were real refugees, but we stayed. Unlike these illegal immigrants coming here for the freebies

I'd rather live in a town or city that evolved naturally over time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

28th august 1940 ,Liverpool,

Shithole then, even bigger one now

Martin's Bank is in WATER Street - the Grasshopper - NOT 'locust' - was the symbol of the London based Martin's which was taken over by The Bank of Liverpool in 1918. It was the only national bank based outside of London.

Frank started off well crushing some of the myths. Then he created some of his own. 1) King john did NOT invent the name 'Liverpool' but the derivation of Lava/Lyver + Pool is correct. 2) The Pool was not situated in Old Haymarket, the creek of the pool did stretch along Paradise Street and Whitechapel but the pool was where we find 'Liverpool One' / Chavasse Park and the remains of the 'Salthouse Dock' under this development is the 'enclosed' pool. The Liverpool Castle overlooked the Pool the position being Derby Square. 3) There is no 'Roman Street Plan' in Liverpool - I have no idea what he thinks he means by this - the Seven Streets are a perfect example of medieaval street vernacular, they arose from the practical connection to the river led to the higher ground and then extended into the Moores properties from - Bank-Water Street to Dale Street and Chapel Streer extended to Tithebarn Street with a lane off the junction of these to their hall, as Old Hall Street. Castle Street led from this group to the pool and castle. 4) The wind through the 'wide Roman streets' blowing the plague away is nonsense, the plague was caused by rat fleas biting people and stopped at the level of the natural immunity of the reduced population. 5) Huskisson was not run over at Edge Hill Station , but a third of the way down the line at the then Parkside station near Newton le Willows, there is in fact a large monument on the embankment at that point to him. He was on the same train as Wellington and the trains on both tracks were heading to Manchester when there was a halt for boiler water. Huskisson, got off his carriage and ran forward to greet Wellington and was run over by the Rocket which was on the other track.

Heres the youtube premium i pay for

Very well done documentary. Today in society people complain too much. Look what people went through in the war for years not knowing if you were going to live each day or night, which one of your neighbours were going to get bombed or injured. This doc serves as a reminder to stay humble count your blessings even if they are few help thy neighbour too. RIP to all who perished 🙏

Amazing and Thank you. 100 years ago my family lived over the shop at Mile End on Scottie

lee scott sample anyone

Those responsible for the 60's hell scape that is Runcorn new town

I often wondered who totally screwed Runcorn up, here there are some faces. Loathe the ring road as a visitor. I still occasionally go to Runcorn Shopping City, its fascinating like going in a time bubble, I actually think it has a certain charm. Free parking!

That was brilliant. 👍 👍 👍

Grew up on Brookvale and went to “Brookvale comprehensive” school in the 70’s. Moved to Runcorn in 1975 and I remember it was all pretty new and clean and well looked after. Went back last week (September 2024) after having moved away for 40yrs and so so different. All the trees massively overgrown as back in the day they were mere small saplings. Many of the houses look rundown and a very different feel. I was saddened but grateful I was there when it was all new. I think things started changing in the early 80’s during the thatcher years and especially Shopping city, can’t believe what it’s like now. 🙁

Runcorn the worlds first 15 minute city,those flats didnt even last 25 yrs all demolished and houses built

Dno what year this was but it certainly wasn't a year ago. There are no immigrants or indigenous homeless in it.

I was born in Liverpool at the start of the war, my father had been called up quickly, because he had a driving licence, my mother had gone back to her mothers, ( nearer the docks ) because she was about to have me, how all mothers in Liverpool, not only survived, but fed us on very meagre rations, WITHOUT any social security or National health service. They were all wonderwomen

another great piece by Frank......this is Liverpool culture...take the booze from mathew street and whats left? nothing..

Thanks Frank for doing these videos: they will be part of history forever, I now know a lot more about LIverpool than I thought! If you fancy a pint sometime let me know; we used to be in the same class at SFX, it would be good to talk. Dave Hellier

The Shopping City is a hell hole. Shops all long gone nothing worth going there fore. Buckets all over the floors as ceiling leaks. You are stranded here as the escalaters are always bust. One was bust foe 2 years fixes & bust again. A hell of a staiway 3 layers of em to get to shopping level. Lifts always bust. Why dont they renew the filthy dirty escalaters that are permanently bust with new ones that dont bust every 2 minutes, The good bit is the library the staff are fantastic. Shopping City should be buldozed down its the worst hell hole I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or have to pass through. Bus services all axed on our South Side of the town just got the one bus now it arrives when it feels like. I am ashamed of the dreadful state of our shopping city/

1894 Battle of Omdurman - Winston Churchill was present as a young Officer.

i went into the irish centre for a meeting sad to see it in disrepair. such an iconic building.

Brilliant,learnt so much..👍👍

Just brillant ❤

People will do anything to get out of Liverpool

We went to the premiere. At the Odeon on London Road? I remember it because also in the audience were Sammy Lee and Willy Russell and the three of us had clearly bought the same tweed overcoat!!!

When I was a child I thought that that cathedral had been bombed during the war and that they were rebuilding it. I didn't know that it had never been fully built. I lived over on the other side of the river.

Most of us in the US only know Liverpool as the hometown of the Beatles. John Lennon got evacuated to Scotland to avoid the blitz, but Ringo Starr spent some time in bomb shelters as a baby. Paul McCartney and George Harrison were born after the blitz.
