Why park on the pavement.

Hi. In the late 70's early 80's I went out with a girl who lived, (and still lives), in Layton Road, which you pass at 10:02. I worked in Lewis's in town and when I stayed at my girlfriend's of a weekend I used to get the 405 'Rapidride' bus. However, it set off and went up Manor Road. From there I think it went left at the village on to Woolton Road then right on to Menlove Ave.

The majority of the video is filmed on Princes Ave in Toxteth. Could be a beautiful place, but it's overrun with illegall immigrants and crime

Great to see you out and about, Jeff. Liverpool is truly timeless.

You'll find the area is earmarked for Liverpol University when prices get low enough. Most of the original owners of that area are still unknown or don't want to face huge rate bills and can't do anything with them untill they rot to the ground, someone commented on it being a gated community but that only serves the elite and the University have done that in the Georgian area and Abercromby. Next area will be Lodge Lane, Kensington and Wavertree, the rot has already started, You'll find its happening in all university city's, Glasgow is a good example and the albert dock, the Elite want it, gated if anything. It might sound daft but it's happening.

Gentifacastion. 😈 Live there now.

Those beautiful buildings! I hope the most is going to be made of them for the people.

Hi Jeff. Were you mates with The Thousands?

Why can’t council or charity housing association do these up and rent for reasonable rents to locals

I see no point in that video other than to embarrass the City Council and those living in that little area, If you want to feel intimidated go a bit further along where people live and act suspicious, you'll soon get intimidated. I lived over the chemist on Rosebury St for a few months, I also had friends in Granby St who was born there in the 40s and 50's, It's not them them that brought the area down but the bad landords who did no repairs and would let anyone in on short term rent in aid of jumping the housing list. The area did go bad for quite sometime during the late 60's when you had gang wars and racial tensions but they wasn't the same people responsible for the riots. The area was bled dry by outsiders who put nothing back. I lived in Kelvin for best part of my married life untill it became unbearable, my landord lived in Warrington who was one of good ones. yes that photo is not Dulcie St . Who remembers Pee Wee the barber?

the house at the end on the corner of Granby i done i lot of work on that property. my grandma owned a few houses on princess ave .the were bought cheap by the council, due to shortage after the war

Hi Jeff, l vaguely remember Ken Dodd opening the show flats. Also, was there an old police station start of Kingsley Road? What a shame seeing the house like this l remember when they were all live in, their was a house in Ducie Street very colourful painted my house was in Ritson Street not far away great video 👍

That pic with Ken Dodd looks more like Jermyn St not Ducie St.

Such a shame, very insightful though, I remember around here in the '70s it was always a little dodgy but never had any trouble. The general area has improved much since then.

This is what happens when elected councils conduct business transactions on golf courses and in freemasonic temples. It's a societal realm we can only begin ro envisage, living as most of us do within the confines of decency and integrity.

Hi Jeff, Hope you are keeping well. Yes, I can visualize just how lovely this tree lined street must have been in its day, situated in a desirable area close to the park and town centre. It's so sad to see how they have gone to wreck and ruin. Hope the council step back in and do something about it, either build new flats or houses as originally planned.

This looks like an ideal project to turn into a gated community and thus rehabilitation to commence.

Great update as always Jeff very interesting. Very sad

“Cosmopolitan area” - translation = dump.

cheers jeff .a very sad video. have the houses gone back to council ownership. 🍻🤝🤝🤝

Your nose looks like a purple helmet.

Thank you,visited the"boy's" houses last year!!Penny Lane,Cavern. My niece organised trip for me at 76yrs old. I became 18 AGAIN bless you Angela 💖🙏🫶

I was born in garston in 1953. Wouldn’t recognise the place now. Left in 1973

Great video . Thoroughly enjoyed it Thanks 🧱👍🏽

I'm in Capetown now but as a boy I played in the Cemetery. Our greatest adventure would be looking for the oldest grave stone which stood in front of Sefton Gen. were I was born in the mid sixties. It was also the first time I saw a dead body in that hospital. I thought he was a sleep but it appeared he was in an altercation and died. Remember people complaining for not covering him up as he was trollied past and my Ma covering my eyes. From the grave yard we made our way to Sefton park avoiding the Cocky Watchmen along the way. We would visit the roman ruins before visiting Old Nic's cave and all the features that Sefton Park offered. Including fishing for Stickle Backs. Before dark we would make our way back to Webster road have a quick swing on the gantry over the steps of the former cinema which had become a white goods warehouse. I remember It was called the Cameo and our gathering point for Tikes like us. Infact we nicked named ourselves the Cameo Boot Boys lol. I could go on but thankyou Jeff most appreciated.

Just love this video. Like very much the way you talk quite a bit about St Johns Church. Most people do not even wonder about the name St Johns Gardens. Its origin I mean. The reason why the existence of the church is little discussed is because it was pulled down just before the beginnings of the picture postcard in this country. You did well to get the photos and the info on this subject. One little thing I want to mention. Henry Bohms bookshop. one of the shops by the station that had to be demolished. It relocated to a larger premises in London Road. When chatting to the bookshop owner I once asked him what his name was. The answer was not Henry Bohm. I think he said it was Mike. Henry Bohm was someone who died a long time ago. Mike used his name because it was someone he admired, and he thought it was a good name for his shop adding that you are allowed to call your shop anything you want.

Jeff, i see your videos and they transform me to my memories of my visit to England decades ago. I see how its a different life, different people, culture. Having traveled many places of this earth I'm reminded that distance... thousands of miles don't matter. A great narrator, great photographer, videographer closes the gap. Cheers from Southern California. Thank you!

Great video post update or standalone! Greetings from North Hollywood California.

I worked in bear brand for many years and l can honestly.say they were my happiest days of my working life

Excellent 🤓👍

Greetings from Ireland Jeff. I love Beatles history and thank you for taking the time to show us important locations from their youth. I really enjoyed the walk from Paul’s house to Aunt Mimi’s house you released recently. As an Irishman, Liverpool holds a great affection in our hearts through emigration there in the middle 1800’s.

I like your videos, do you drive a flatbed truck?

👍Really enjoyed this Jeff. Thanks! 😊

Great update as always Jeff

Salve ti ringrazio per tutte queste chicche che stai facendo vedere , è esattamente quello che vorrei vedere e sapere dei Beatles .Dove sono cresciuti i posti che hanno frequentato da ragazzi mi creano emozioni incredibili spero che un giorno li possa vedere di persona spero anche che tu li possa fare per tutti e 4 .Un forte abbraccio e GRAZIE.GRAZIE. GRAZIE.

Looks like Beirut! 🤢

You missed out the JMU / old Poly Building on the corner of MP and Hope St. My ex wife did her teacher trying there when it was Notre dame, previously a former convent at one time I think?

❤

Cheers Jeff, I'll buy you a tshirt. See you on your website 😊

Loved visiting Woolton Cinema years back, with my now Wife. Few drinks, meal and a movie. It was one of the last Cinema's you could smoke in too. I'd sooner go to Woolton cinema than one of the big chains, like The Odeon. Such a shame it's closed.

I took photos of those buildings in 94' . Well built Sadly not looked after . wronguns put in them. Notice the student accommodation is high Quality. The local people get "served 3rd rate Crap ... staggering corruption by LCC & Joe Anderson

Hi Jeff , Colin found some photos of yer wall from 1957. check your email

Hi Jeff, on the same day i saw this i see there was intrest in the development of the old littlewoods pools building into studios which you've covered before on this channel if it gets the go ahead will you make videos similar to the anfield and bramley moore docks for everton FC where we may get a chance every 2 weeks or so on the progress. the financial intrest news was on the bbc culture page of their website (not that the bbc are to be listened to all that much nowadays) thanks for all the vids.

Thanks very much for the update. I remember going there with my cousins to watch, I think, 'Zulu'. A wonderful childhood memory, and I well recall those steps outside. I hope they are restored rather than removed. All the best from New Zealand.

Good news. Cheers jeff.

love and watch all of your videos Jeff. xxx

I was born in Merrion Close, the wall shown on the map was at the bottom of our garden and we used to watch horses learning to jump where you turned into the new estate. I used to play in the tip, it was mostly piles of brick from bombing in the city. I think the tower blocks must have been built in the late 60s, there was another since demolished. We later moved to Vale Road, a totally original 30s house which was used to get the interior detailing correct when Aunt Mimis house on Menlove was being renovated as it had been modernised.

My family lived on mount pleasent, i was born there 1960. No49 which i belèive the NCP car park now stands. I've tried to find a photo before the car park was there but no luck.

My grandparents took me once or twice when I was a kid. I always thought it felt very old hat compared to the likes of the cinema on Edge Lane where I would usually go - obviously didnt appreciate it back then. Having recently moved into the area, I have dreams of being able to take my boy there when he is a little older as its only a short walk away. I do hope something becomes of it, but wouldnt be suprised if it didn't materialise.

Thanks for the update, Jeff
