Used to get dragged there once a week from lander road school. Absolutely hated it and forged letters from my mum excusing me .., im 66 now and still hate swimming pools 😂😂😂

So changed now omg

Instead I was transported to a Munich gay bar

SUper ☺♪

Happy days good memories xx

Born and bread in Bootle Blair Street off Chaucer street love looking at the old pictures were you lived lovely memories for me thank you for sharing x

I AM PLEASED TO SEE THAT YOU HAVE INCLUDED IN YOUR FILM A NUMBER OF MY BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS OF BOOTLE. KEEP UP YOUR GOOD ARCHIVAL WORK. BILL.

Wow! Fantastic, well done your Grandad! So many great memories of Crosby Baths.

😮 wow

It's gone unbelievably bad ..I'd say 99.9% of the people there have got a severe case of s*** life syndrome.. and it shows!!!

Remember going to the kids pool in the late 70s and there was a turd floating in it.

Yo the trees 🌳 ❤❤

Great pix ! Thank you !

The old bingo hall was a cinema. I remember playing in it in the late seventies when it was derelict

I believe the boy in the wheelchair was my brother and was the little girl behind my mum. Going to check with family today. So strange seeing this x

Hi Paul, great vids, are you the Paul that has a brother called Will

The Strand has gone right down since they took M&S away but lovely to see old pictures of the Strand

👍👍

The before looks better than now, is it the paint on the walls now, makes houses look ugly when not fresh .

What amazing video like to look at old pictures were I used to live growing up in Bootle and working in Williams Toffee works and walking past the kiosk by Marsh lane station bring back memories thank you for sharing x

Amazing and look at it now x

South Garde ? King George Gardens Park was known as Stanley Park as its on Stanley Road never heard it called South Park Great videos though

Used to play in the melly wen I was a kid

Did somebody say concrete?

Very familiar. My first wife was from about 1km away

I remember when this was first built

Aintree railway shed. Spent hours and hours there when a young kid.

Love the then and now photos.

You can pass many of these sites on the X2 bus today.

The good old days before our migrant friend's started wrecking our country.

3:32 wonder what that crowd was for?

When England was England before our cultural diverse enrichment.

Designed by an “architect “ who insisted that the pool should be in feet and inches, rather than metric so it couldn’t be used for major competitions. No idea on ventilation, heating and avoiding the buildup of condensation. The cost of heating and general maintenance was astronomical.

The good old days when England was England and not a dumping ground for the third world scroungers.

This shows just how much our world has now fallen apart.

I used to come over to hairlucinations with my aunty who was going out with john butcher and hang out at his flat which was above the strand, this was in 1974, I remember John cut my hair

Who remembers mrs mott. She taught most of sefton to swim. She was their for 40 years

I know things change with time. But how crap does South Road look compared to the original photos. So much character and charm has been lost to time

Such a pity these excellent pictures were not accompanied with names.

Call South Road the Lark Lane of Waterloo

Hello, what was the source for the photo of the ladies crossing on the zebra in Walton vale please? I’d like a clear copy of this as my mum is on it. The lady with the pale beret on the right by Timpsons. I have a copy I took from another site buts it’s not as clear as yours. Regards.

Remember it in '68/69.

Cool pictures. My Grandad was the architect of those baths, I’ve got some cool old drawings of the plans for it somewhere and the library/civic hall in Waterloo 👍

Bootle kid, we used to have a den inside the old Aikenside viaduct. Walked the line to the canal and beyond many summers ❤

brings back memories of old strand road before the strand was built.

That image in '69 of the Strand was my last image of Bootle before leaving for Australia.

Always remember going, had no trunks so used cut down jeans or football shorts, best times ever not like the crap thats their now no fun anymore.

Me Dad taught me how to ride a bike in the derbypark I remember the lake wish it was still there! Great memorys Thanks

Does anyone else remember the chip machine in the late 60s/early 70s? It was always breaking as I remember but when it did work there was always a crowd round it to watch it make chips! Simpler times! Though I'm beginning to think I imagined it

so sad to see it knocked down it was a real bit of architecture and enjoyed going there in the 1970s ,10 meter board for the brave, 50 meter pool and the only downside was it was actually a saltwater pool and stung your eyes a bit
