Shithole now

Thank you for this nice instrumental song.

Phil scrutton good man good photographer

I lived in Saxonia Rd in the late 70s early 80s, I have happy memories of that park. Feeding the ducks, going to bowling green with my Grandad and the little zoo. Thank you for this 😊

Wonderful memories.

It´s great for a kid who grew up listening to your tunes on the Amstrad to see you are still in a very good shape regarding composing :) Is there any chance that you would honor us giving us a written interview to discuss those years?

Where exactly was this tunnel?

Show me Australia from a real time feed from outer space where the people are walking upside down as the camera zooms, and then I will believe the Earth is round and that water can curve on a spinning Globe 😂😂😂 These videos are made to make theflat earth like u can step off it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 You were drip Fed ever, since you were in infant school a globe earth in the corner of the classroom, 😂😂😂😂 You believe that water curve round on a ball earth , because you believe the stupid theory of gravity ,water cannot curve it will always find a level. Do you get it yet? The sea level 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like this music. This could definitely be used for a movie!

Good! Glad to hear your new music!

A lovely park in its heyday. Sadly now a shadow of its former self.

Excellent photographs, brought back very early memory when I was a 16-year-old trainee technician apprentice with the GPO. I was with the crew that were diverting the underground cables in preparation for the flyover. The work to place at the corner of the church.

Fantastic, looks like Mr colclough(.?) in the rice Lane playground shot I was there 50 to 57 Alan Willis

Sad to hear the baths are no longer there. I learned to swim in those baths!

MONA'S CAFE RICE LANE, the buses trying to get up Rice Lane in the snow +ice we (OUR GANG) used to pile on the rear platform by the stairs to help + 9 times out of 10 the Conductor would give us a 2 bob piece to share, which was spent in the HERBAL Stores on PINTS of Saspirella with ice-cream. The BROWN COW PUB,was that SMITHY LANE? too young for beer so collected beer mats instead.....The Engine SHEDS...broke many a window there......The building of Walton Flyover by LEN FAIRCLOUGH Company (not the Coronation ST character.)...BRILLIANT MEMORIES ..BRILLIANT PICS DAVE.

hilarious!

Takes me back.

Walton was a better place to live back then. We (mates) used to come out of the baths and go to the HERB Stores in Rice lane, opp the Walton Town Hall, and either get a PINT of SASSPERELLA or an "ICED DRINK" a pint of cordial with a huge scoop of iced creme, if you had the pint of SASS you'd walk home all bloated, thinking to yourself "how do these fella's spend all night in the pub feeling bloated like this" heh heh we were only 12-13years old. Looks like the Corpy had compulsory purchased all the buildings there to build the flyover, It was built by "LEN FERCLOUGHS" but not the Coronation Street actor. There were 5 roads going into that junction of Queens Drive /Rice Lane /Smithy Lane a bugger to cross on foot. Croppers Garage with generations of the CROPPER FAMILY serving petrol at the pumps., and 3 bloody good pubs demolished + our TOWN HALL?? Corpy got a lot to answer for ,

Part of my stamping ground. Spotted my high school (Alsop) on Queens Dr. And I remember biking up that hill!

Brilliant

Wonderful childhood memories and some tears. Thank you very much for sharing these precious pictures. Walton Park was an everyday part of our lives as children, living in the ship roads. The cafe, the stage, the boat lake, fishing, wonderful times we had as children. So special. Thank you again 🌺🌺🙏

Used to go to this park as a kid,mainly for the aviary,(I was bird mad, still am,) haven't been there for years, I've heard it's gone down hill,always my favourite park,and nearby Anfield cemetery,loved the quietness.

Wasn’t the water fountain in Norris green park, never seen one in Walton hall park. 🤔 💜

I went to Rice Lane Infants School 1951-1958. Loved it.

This.. is good stuff. 👍👏👏🤣

Great stuff Dave!!

Nice One Dave😊👍

I never wear a tinfoil hat anymore. I now use a colander. It keeps out the thought rays from the evil reptilians on the Moon, and has the added benefit of providing good air circulation to the scalp. At the very end- didn't you know the REAL flat earthers no longer like the FE Society. They think the Society is dumb. Talk about pot and kettle!

Thanks so much for putting these online - I was born in Walton in 1962 and so many of those scenes felt very familar.

I remember when the Army visited in the summer of 1966. I won a competition to build a cardboard 'pontoon' bridge...! I lived in Sylvania Road from birth [1962] - to 1969.

Any idea what year the cafe got knocked down? I saw a photo stamped ‘93 but I was 11 then and don’t remember it being there

lovely looking at all these old pictures of my childhood, @dave rogers, do you have a file of these somewhere for people to view?

My first job was working for don davies at the bottom of city road £5 a week 1971

Lived in Woolhope Rd opposite the park.in the early 1970's..biggest front garden ever! Squeezing thru railings and going ferral until our mum's came looking for us..or we got hungry. Remember Pedro the donkey in the small animal enclosure...the circus used to come to the park and we could hear the lions roar first thing in the morning! Playing on the stage and doing our own little shows, dancing and singing...happy, happy days!

I lived facing the park in Haggerston road. I must have climbed every tree in there. Loved the band stand and the cafe at the back. Night fishing in the pond. Great memory’s. Cheers.

Heartbreaking I remember Walton like this - Before the rot set in :-(

About 1964, it wasn`t unusual to find myself and a few other classmates from Alsops, venturing into the Walton train sheds, during dinner time. I climbed the iron ladder to the top of the water tower on one occasion, just to see what was at the top, but, on looking back down, I wished I hadn`t. I don`t like heights.

Great video. I don't remember much of the park other than playing footie there on a Sunday morning. Well done.

About 1956 we used to go to Queens drive Baths and after a swim spend our bus fare on a stodgy sort of bread and fruit cake in that boarded up shop Lyons and walk home past Walton Hospital Nurses Home and then onto the Swings on Rice Lane Rec.

@ 0:35 that's where flyover is now... I remember all the work going on was at school at St Marys on Elton Street

Hey Dave, is there a way to contact you please? Thanks, Steve.

Hey Dave Rogers from the gaming music scene late 80s/90s ?

Lived just down the road in Sparrow Hall as a boy in the fifties and sixties. Used to love it when the Fair arrived.

The big stage and bandstand, the cast iron water fountains, the shop selling lolly ices, the boats on the lake - all burnt and trashed. They live on in my memory.

I spent so many happy times hear as a child. Also with my own children. 👍

Shame you didn't capture the animal enclosure. But hey...still a great vid.

Fantastic

Great pictures by your dad ,so sad how it's changed

Wonderful photos. Back to a more civilised and deferential time. We have regressed in a lot of ways.
