Nicely done Craig, amazing how one's pre conceived ideas about "ye cracke" is so different when seeing the real thing. Ye Cracke : small alleyway between or behind a building.
Really awesome job getting up close and personal. Great way for a Texan like me to actually see the area and trace those footsteps as well. Great job, my friend. Until next time, take care!
Yeh man that area looks cool bro and I read that the cemetery facing the terrace(adjacent to the cathedral) was where they would go to hang out and play guitars etc in the summer months and a historian called Frank Carlyle says is where the real Jack the Ripper was buried as he was a local physician whose present day family still work in that area around the corner in Rodney street and apparently they stopped a book on their grandfathers name being released!strange but true!Also next to Gambier terrace is a large Georgian house which was home to the inventor of the first locomotive engine (the Rocket) sir Robert Louis Stevenson and down in the cemetery again is the huge necropolis of sir William Huskisson who was the first person to be killed by a train as he slipped under the Rocket on its maiden voyage!
This is such a unique view, never seen this before or knew he lived a stones throw from the college. Strange too that I watched your shakes video because of diabetes then saw this. I'm a big fan and as Mary McCartney says you can't spend a day without seeing something about the Beatles. Liverpool was indeed posh and clean. More so than a lot of London is today. Interesting how your video looks like it would have in the 60s apart from the number of cars.
