I worked in a discotheque in Benidorm-Spain from 1969 to 1971. My best friends were scousers, one of them became my best friend to this day. In the early 1970s, Toxteth, Bootle and other neighborhoods were quite rough. Over the years, I've seen Liverpool change. In the early 1990s, I was with my family with my comrade and his family in Liverpool and then I really fell in love with Liverpool. I have always found the people there very open, down to earth and friendly, but especially the humor is of the highest order. I've never had so much stomach ache from laughing as I did in Liverpool. A very special city!
my partner's late father sailed all over the world from Liverpool on various shipping lines, from New York to the Amazon. Australia to Hong Kong. all his life at sea . he told me the only place that really got to him was the three graces in the distance on the River Mersey when he was sailing homeward that brought a lump to his throat when he saw the magnificent buildings on the pier head. he loved buildings but said you won't find many better than my home port and he had been all over the world. God Bless you Billy Lad.
Liverpool is the finest city on the face of the planet, theres so much more to see there are so many magnificent buildings and a water front second to none,
Been to Glasgow and Edinburgh and for pubs Liverpool wipes the floor with both. These two episodes barely scratched the surface of city centre pubs in Liverpool. Glasgow is great and Edinburgh is un matched architecturally but Liverpool is an absolute firecracker of a city that's alot bigger than people realise including these two it seemed.
Welcome to my city. The city that Thatcher wanted to start a managed decline of, in her reign. HAA. Considering the wind you both did really well in the areas you covered, that was some yomp.😊 Being housebound for the last 15 years it was a pleasant experience seeing how much it has changed, thank you for the tour ❤.
@@TC8787-yq7ogI was born in Glasgow, we moved to Merseyside when I was 9, I love both cities equally, the only difference between us and Liverpudlians is the accent!
From Dublin here. I absolutely love Liverpool. I've only been there twice and always say it's like home "away from home." scouse people are always very welcoming and similar to irish people. And it's only 20 mins away. 😅 will go back soon.
Like you Liverpool never appealed to me but stopped off for two days on the way back to London from Glasgow, my home town. Absolutely loved everything about the place and the people. Have urged anyone who'll listen to visit and be as blown away by it as we were.
I work in Liverpool the people are so warm and they have a razor sharp wit, my contact ends in march im really gonna miss Liverpool best city in England
James didn't do so bad with the razor sharp wit when Helen asked about the church "Who bombed it?" James: It were Mexicans love!" That's South Yorkshire humour! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
I traveled to Liverpool for work. My boss booked the train for the wrong station… Birkenhead… i was shocked how amazing the people were. This lady and her two lil boys made sure I got on correct train. Id definitely go back. Salt of the earth the Scousers.
@@Jolene492 no it’s not.. its part of Merseyside not Liverpool .. it has a postcode for CHESTER which is CH .. Liverpool has an L 🥴🙈 stop reading nonsense of google.. that’s a new term they brought in which also included st Helen’s which is not Liverpool either , it’s Lancashire . It’s an umbrella term for tourism .. they are not part of Liverpool 🤣
I worked and stayed in Liverpool in the 1980’s constructing the Albert Dock and The Vine was our local, I’m sure the locals called it “The Big House” happy days.
You didn't manage a trip on the ferry across The Mersey amongst many things. I'm from Merseyside & now living in California & tell anyone who's visiting England to try & spend at least one night in Liverpool . Reason, besides all the attractions & architecture , you'll love the people.
I always love seeing my City through visitors eyes. It makes me stop taking for granted what a great place it is. If you visit again and go back the the cathedral, they have a great café and make one of the best bowls of scouse and the prices are great too.
Love visiting Liverpool…coming from Glasgow, both cities are very similar….great pubs, great craic, and great music..and both have a rich seafaring history👍
I was in Glasgow in 1999 and I got a private hire taxi on a short journey back to my hotel. The driver said no charge, he said if he was ever in Liverpool I hope I get the same treatment. Maybe he would I don’t know. If he’s typical of Glaswegians then they are great people 👍
Hi guys , Good to see you in my city.At 4.47 the red striped building you called Bavarian is now a hotel if you go inside it’s full of titanic stuff as it’s the white star building who owned the famous ship.Also at 24.32 when you ask where you want to go, the place facing with gates are apartments the ground floor was where John Lennon and Stuart sutcliffe shared a flat,also whilst in the cathedral you could of got delicious scouse and red cabbage or beetroot.I enjoyed your Southport vid as well, next time your up let me no I’ll show you some stuff you’d never see normally 👍
So glad you loved our beautiful City. We feel more than proud to be born and bred in such a warm, friendly and educational part of the UK. James and Helen you made a cracking video. Please come back soon. We love you loads. xxx
So glad you showed my hometown in such a positive light - we were there Sunday in all the winds - gutted our paths didn’t cross we would deffo have said hi 👋. Thoroughly enjoyed it and my sister in oz has particularly enjoyed these videos ❤❤
@@bythecurbduring the Second World War Liverpool was the headquarters of “Western approaches” as such it was heavily targeted by the nazis, the ‘bombed out’ church is a symbol of this
So Glad you had a great time in our wonderful City... You walked past what was Probe Records in Mathew St where Pete Burns Worked (Dead or Alive). The Georgian Quarter is where A house thru time was recorded (Faulkner St). China Town is opposite st Pauls church. Great Food. Oh Behind the Empire Theatre there is a pub called Ma Eggertons, Laurel and Hardy drank there and many stars of the stage. Great upload guys well done.
The red brick Bavarian, looking building was the headquarters of the white star, shipping line who owned the Titanic, and that was where all the administration took place. If you look online, you can find pictures of crowds outside following the sinking in 1912 attempting to hear news of many of the sailors that came from Liverpool. It is also a copy of the building which stands on the side of the River Thames in London. That was formally the police headquarters known as Scotland Yard
Only been once - few years ago for a weekend with my daughter and both absolutely loved it. Stayed in Hard Days Night hotel - what a location! Daughter liked it so much she wants me to move there from down here in Poole when she finishes school and said she’ll leave her mother and move with me up there 😀😀😀
I lived in South Devon for 44 years, in Liverpool now for work. Its great , so much to do and friendly. I know and love Dorset , your daughter is safer in Poole , since i came here , the number of single men from overseas as been overwhelming, it was cheap rent here , now its trebled. Visit is best .
@@Tonydevon1Sadly there is no safe places anymore. Like everywhere, Liverpool has their bad spots. I live opposite in Birkenhead and many times been on my own in the city centre. Never felt vulnerable.. Walked to the bus after a night out alone and people look out for me which is lovely (friends live in Liverpool) My point is.. Even when you're alone there's always safety. Warning people not to move there is farfetched! It's a beautiful place with the best people. I'm lucky my area is the similar and I'm so close to Liverpool.
Great to have stumbled across a lovely couple like yourselves. I was in Liverpool with my daughter last summer for the day and felt the same. Would like to live there really. Wishing you lovely travels in your van, with the brown sauce on board next time.
Liverpool. A vibrant city with real people with wonderful humour The Beatles certainly generate so much income to the city. International and domestic My first visit was as a child going on a family holiday to the Isle of Man from the Docks Even at that age I was in awe of the Liver Building with the birds a top My second visit was a football match and actually stood on the Kop when it was all standing and the crowd sang Beatles songs Amazing atmosphere Sadly Villa lost 2…1 My third visit when I was over with my late wife and we did a Beatles tour My favourite comedian was Ken Dodd a favourite son of Liverpool whom we saw in Blackpool The Walker gallery was amazing and I loved the portrait. “ When did you last see your father” I love the interaction between yourself and Helen. Honestly like an old married couple 😂😂❤
The probable reason why Liverpool had never appealed to the bloke before he went is because of the negative press we get from people who have never even visited our city. Visitors always say the same thing "everyone is so friendly",that's because we'll talk to anyone whether you're a stranger or not.
Thanks for showing Liverpool in such a positive light, I was chuffed to see you taking the time to explore our wonderful City. You and Helen put some miles in over the two days and especially in that wind, much Kudos. The building you thought was the Town Hall was The Port Of Liverpool Building. It is part of what we call the Three Graces along with The Cunard Building and The Royal Liver Building. All the buildings were built between 1903 and 1916. When we have visitors, we always take them on a tour of Liverpool and try and cram in as much as we can. The statue you saw when you came out of the Vines is known locally as Dickie Lewis. Dickie for the obvious reason and Lewis as it stood above the entrance to what was a massive department store John Lewis. ( which has now relocated to Liverpool One shopping centre). As you say even two days is not enough. Look forward to your next Vlog. you need to come back and go on the Mersey Ferry cruise in the Summer. Another excuse for another great night in the City.
Lewis's department store isn't actually related to John Lewis. Two separate companies. George Henry Lee that was between Church St and Williamson Sq was part of the John Lewis group.
@@jamesroberts5351 I was only talking about Lewis's the other day, with a colleague in Leeds. I didn't know that there were other stores. Lewis's for me is all about the Christmas Grottos they used to have. But George Henry Lee had the better premises in my opinion. That huge stair case. Ah, the memories 👍
I am from Liverpool, but live in Manchester, but I'm back most weekends see family and friends, I love the city , it's so welcoming, friendly , great night out ! Amazing history, best football club in the world LFC . I'm so glad you guys both fell in love with the city ! ❤️
Excellent vlog. Like you said in the video Liverpool isn’t somewhere you’d necessarily think about visiting but I’ll definitely be checking it out after this.
I turned 39 on Monday and have lived in Liverpool my entire life. I still see details and buildings around me that I'd never seen before. So many people take it for granted.
You’re spot on, I’m 75 now but my first job, when I was 15 was in a shipping office in the Liver Buildings, and as I’d grown up with the building I took it for granted. It’s only today that I look at it and realise how privileged I was to work there. I now live in Preston but my heart will always be in Liverpool❤
We are from Wales but my husband says his blood is from liverpool if he could he would move to liverpool, yes liverpool people are so friendly yes there are some areas of liverpool like any other places are a little run down but people are still friendly and of cause my husband's love liverpool football ❤ .
I was at the Albert Dock for my 50th a few yrs back and I'm from Liverpool and we got.talking to some lads from Essex...they said that they make.as.many excuses they can to come back to liverpool.and its there favourite city
I Came a cross your channel because of liverpool city! Thank you for coming to the city I live and born from, I’m glad you loved the city and the history” So much history and things too do in liverpool and we’re a friendly city welcome to everyone
There's a Bridewell police cells under Leeds Town Hall.You couldn't see town hall when you did a visit due to renovations.When you visited Lawnswood cemetry, that white feather was from a guardian angel.Liverpool is a great city and has changed so much but the people remain warm and friendly 😊
Come back in the Summer, Get the Ferry, and check out Sefton Park and Lark lane in South Liverpool. also get the Underground Train to New Brighton and go on the Beach
Fantastic 2nd Day at Liverpool - YEY you got to the Vines! And the Bridewell! At 24mins you were a short 5 min walk from Peter Kavanagh's - You would have enjoyed That One! So Many Great Buildings to see and So Great the City Shown up as a Destination to Go To. As you said 2 Days is Not Enough, we go every 6-8 weeks and there is so much to see and do! The Pubs and Restaurants are Magmnificent and there is so much to suit everyones Taste. I look forwards to seeing more of your tours! Good Health to You, Helen and your families!
Hadn't seen you guys before this morning and been watching your videos the last 3 hours, excellent stuff and a good chuckle! Ive been to Liverpool loads of times (First time at Anfield 33 ywars ago!) and love the place and people.
Another brilliant video made by an amazing couple. Liverpool is a nice city. Been there quite a few times being a Liverpool football fan and going back in November. Have you done any visits to Wales. Keep up the good work.
So glad you found time for a Cathedral visit. Both Cathedrals are stunning. I sing in one of the choirs there, and I never tire of it. Every time I go it feels so special.
Flippin heck .. you two did some walking ! Looks lke you did the whole perimeter of the city centre ! If you plan on visiting again, just ask for a few suggested routes to take to see the most interesting spots and good value recommended pit stops. PS, come in the warmer months and you'll see some amazing sights at night .... dozens of Stag and Hen parties from all over the country..lol
Thanks for bringing so many memories of this magnificent city spent many a weekend there and your absolutely right about the people best video for a while love you guys
Awesome blog. The 3 buildings along the waterfront, the Liver building, the Mersey Docks and Harbour board building and the Cunard building are known locally as the 3 Grace’s The red brick building that you said looked Bavarian, is the White Star Line building. The company that owned the ill fated Titanic. Please come back soon 👍
Rather embarrassingly, you’ve got the names of the Three Graces wrong: the Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building. Go and stand in the corner for the rest of the lesson. I shall be speaking to your parents about this.
Hope Street, between the 2 cathedrals is full of places to eat. It would have been 5 min walk. Ye Olde Cracke was about 5 min walk too, where the Beatles met during college. Also the PHilharmonic pub with the marble gents toilets a 5 min walk and does food. Lots of places to eat near China town too, another 5 min walk. Love the Bridewell.
Another cracking video from You Tubes best vlogers.Really can't believe just how much Liverpool as changed building wise,harbor and docks in the last 20 years, and without doubt the most friendly/funniest locals in any big city. Cant wait for the next instalment...stay safe guys.
I've always enjoyed the times i've been to liverpool and your spot on you do need a few days there to get more of an experience, spot on with the vlog as well i've met some wonderful people and characters whenever i've been can't beat it look after yourselves.
James and Helen What a fabulous vlog. I feel I have been to Liverpool. Thank you so much. Loved the Cavern Loved the architecture Loved the people Loved the super smashin brilliant vibe. Love from Janice xxxxx (60' s child the age of aquarius yeh man groovy baby.) 😅😂😊
Loved watching your time in Liverpool. We go once a year around December, catch the train to Lime street station then walk across the road to stay at the Adelphi for 2 nights, the rooms are rough n ready but cheap and includes breakfast. There's so much to do in Liverpool and the night life is great, we've found the best time to go is midweek as the weekend is too busy if you like to go down Mathew street.
I'm originally from Liverpool. I moved nearly 40 years ago, but regularly visited until 10 years ago.. My favourite pubs are The Swan in Wood Street, the Roscoe Head in Roscoe Street, Ye Crack (older than the Hole in the Wall,) and the Edinburgh in Wavertree.
The Anglican Cathedral is the 8th largest in the world. Many films and TV series are made here, especially around the Georgian Quarter. It's a shame that many visitors miss seeing Speke Hall, it is a large Tudor Mansion in large grounds, close to John Lennon Airport. Down at the pierhead the building you said was beautiful is the Cunard Building, the building you said looked like from Amsterdam is The White Star Line the owners of the Titanic, the architect built a replica in London that was Scotland Yard.
Enjoyed that! Watched it with our son visiting from Liverpool, where he moved to ten years ago. You’re right, so much to see, fab architecture, pubs and people and somewhere I’d never been before he moved there and I’m from Yorkshire too.
Brilliant again you 2 went years back but only for 2 days so didn't see that much you have filled in a lot of blanks for me cheers . loved your synopsis on modern art I thought it was just me !
my uncle and i have a drink once in a while close to the anglican cathedral, and it does light up, i can only assume the cost of living and fuel gauging has affected it
Spent four years studying evenings at John Moores. Loved the city. Scousers are good people.
Brings a tear to my eye to hear so much positivity for my city.
A great city
Proud be from Liverpool
Me too !
Our city and its people have had their knocks but I’m glad that you got to sample the true spirit of Liverpool , it’s people and their hospitality .
Greatest city on Earth. I lived there for 22 years and still think of it as home.
I worked in a discotheque in Benidorm-Spain from 1969 to 1971. My best friends were scousers, one of them became my best friend to this day. In the early 1970s, Toxteth, Bootle and other neighborhoods were quite rough. Over the years, I've seen Liverpool change. In the early 1990s, I was with my family with my comrade and his family in Liverpool and then I really fell in love with Liverpool. I have always found the people there very open, down to earth and friendly, but especially the humor is of the highest order. I've never had so much stomach ache from laughing as I did in Liverpool. A very special city!
my partner's late father sailed all over the world from Liverpool on various shipping lines, from New York to the Amazon. Australia to Hong Kong. all his life at sea . he told me the only place that really got to him was the three graces in the distance on the River Mersey when he was sailing homeward that brought a lump to his throat when he saw the magnificent buildings on the pier head. he loved buildings but said you won't find many better than my home port and he had been all over the world. God Bless you Billy Lad.
Liverpool is the finest city on the face of the planet, theres so much more to see there are so many magnificent buildings and a water front second to none,
Bit of a stretch like but deffo underrated as far as UK cities go. I prefer Glasgow and Edinburgh, but Liverpool has a lot to offer.
Been to Glasgow and Edinburgh and for pubs Liverpool wipes the floor with both. These two episodes barely scratched the surface of city centre pubs in Liverpool. Glasgow is great and Edinburgh is un matched architecturally but Liverpool is an absolute firecracker of a city that's alot bigger than people realise including these two it seemed.

From Dublin here. I absolutely love Liverpool. I've only been there twice and always say it's like home "away from home." scouse people are always very welcoming and similar to irish people. And it's only 20 mins away. 😅 will go back soon.
Yep, some even say, Liverpool is the capital of Ireland!!
@@millinutz that's true 👍🏻
And Wales !
So many of us have Irish in our ancestory but scousers and Irish are very similar

My favourite comedian was Ken Dodd a favourite son of Liverpool whom we saw in Blackpool
The Walker gallery was amazing and I loved the portrait. “ When did you last see your father”

If you come back to Liverpool you need to go to the Philharmonic Pub on Hope Street. Hope Street is nice too, the Catholic Cathedral isnt far either x

It's a city that thinks it's a village. Good people and a beautiful heart. So glad you enjoyed it
'It's a city that thinks it's a village' .... what a perfect description. I'll remember and use that .. if that's ok. 😉

You’re spot on, I’m 75 now but my first job, when I was 15 was in a shipping office in the Liver Buildings, and as I’d grown up with the building I took it for granted. It’s only today that I look at it and realise how privileged I was to work there. I now live in Preston but my heart will always be in Liverpool❤
We are from Wales but my husband says his blood is from liverpool if he could he would move to liverpool, yes liverpool people are so friendly yes there are some areas of liverpool like any other places are a little run down but people are still friendly and of cause my husband's love liverpool football ❤ .
Ive been all around the world and visited many many amazing cities but liverpool is the best.
Just watched this again! nice one
love Liverpool but as i live here hard to put it onto film and do it justice, glad you enjoyed it. Our type of people.

There's a Bridewell police cells under Leeds Town Hall.You couldn't see town hall when you did a visit due to renovations.When you visited Lawnswood cemetry, that white feather was from a guardian angel.Liverpool is a great city and has changed so much but the people remain warm and friendly 😊
Come back in the Summer, Get the Ferry, and check out Sefton Park and Lark lane in South Liverpool. also get the Underground Train to New Brighton and go on the Beach
Thanks
Thank you so much 😊
Fantastic 2nd Day at Liverpool - YEY you got to the Vines! And the Bridewell! At 24mins you were a short 5 min walk from Peter Kavanagh's - You would have enjoyed That One! So Many Great Buildings to see and So Great the City Shown up as a Destination to Go To. As you said 2 Days is Not Enough, we go every 6-8 weeks and there is so much to see and do! The Pubs and Restaurants are Magmnificent and there is so much to suit everyones Taste. I look forwards to seeing more of your tours! Good Health to You, Helen and your families!
Thanks mate, I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Another stunning vlog guys, i don't think I quite understood how beautiful Liverpool is. Im definitely going for a visit now. 🙂❤️
Don’t knock Liverpool till you’ve tried it I always say. It’s a bloody amazing place for everyone!
That red building was were they read out the names of the people who drowned on the titanic.
Agree a great city ! I will be back again in July cant wait.
What a great video James and Helen, you really captured the heart of Liverpool. I think this is my favourite UK one so far. ❤
Thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊
Nice video, last time I was there I went shopping for clothes some of the shops are amazing the city centre has everything you need
Hadn't seen you guys before this morning and been watching your videos the last 3 hours, excellent stuff and a good chuckle!
Ive been to Liverpool loads of times (First time at Anfield 33 ywars ago!) and love the place and people.
Thank you, glad you like the videos
Wonderful video - what a beautiful City Liverpool is x
Another brilliant video made by an amazing couple. Liverpool is a nice city. Been there quite a few times being a Liverpool football fan and going back in November. Have you done any visits to Wales. Keep up the good work.
So glad you found time for a Cathedral visit. Both Cathedrals are stunning. I sing in one of the choirs there, and I never tire of it. Every time I go it feels so special.
Good for you, you must have a great voice 🙂
@@bythecurbthe Anglican cathedral is the biggest in Britain and fifth largest in Europe
Flippin heck .. you two did some walking ! Looks lke you did the whole perimeter of the city centre ! If you plan on visiting again, just ask for a few suggested routes to take to see the most interesting spots and good value recommended pit stops. PS, come in the warmer months and you'll see some amazing sights at night .... dozens of Stag and Hen parties from all over the country..lol
Thanks for bringing so many memories of this magnificent city spent many a weekend there and your absolutely right about the people best video for a while love you guys
Glad you enjoyed our beautiful City, really enjoyed the video, subscribed
Absolutely two briiliant vlogs enjoyed evey minute watching , Liverpool welcomed you both with open arms .
Glad you enjoyed our great City. Saturday is absolutely packed in town. Great vibe around the bars.
So glad you enjoyed yourselves, we are nice people and because you liked our city we like you and for that You’ll Never Walk Alone ❤😊.
Great to see you both enjoying our city, fantastic vlog, you crammed a lot in for 2 days well done 👏👏👏
We did. Had an amazing time :-)
I love Liverpool I have been alot of times with friends,good to see it again and seeing you both enjoying it , Thanks James snd Helen ❤❤
Awesome blog. The 3 buildings along the waterfront, the Liver building, the Mersey Docks and Harbour board building and the Cunard building are known locally as the 3 Grace’s
The red brick building that you said looked Bavarian, is the White Star Line building. The company that owned the ill fated Titanic. Please come back soon 👍
Wow, that's interesting. Thanks for the info
Next time you come you’ll have to try a bowl of Scouse in Maggie May’s Cafe in Bold Street 👍
Just what I was going to say.
@@bythecurb The red brick building also known as the streaky bacon building
Rather embarrassingly, you’ve got the names of the Three Graces wrong: the Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building. Go and stand in the corner for the rest of the lesson. I shall be speaking to your parents about this.
So glad you loved the city, we could use this as a promotional video it was that good 👍
Thank you 😊
Hope Street, between the 2 cathedrals is full of places to eat. It would have been 5 min walk. Ye Olde Cracke was about 5 min walk too, where the Beatles met during college. Also the PHilharmonic pub with the marble gents toilets a 5 min walk and does food. Lots of places to eat near China town too, another 5 min walk. Love the Bridewell.
Been there a few times, always busy n a great place to meet.
Loved this video,really want too go to Liverpool.....Keep your videos coming,love you both,best entertainment eva.xxxx
Another cracking video from You Tubes best vlogers.Really can't believe just how much Liverpool as changed building wise,harbor and docks in the last 20 years, and without doubt the most friendly/funniest locals in any big city.
Cant wait for the next instalment...stay safe guys.
Thank you, glad you liked it
Stunning City..
Amazing people! 👌🏻
Best night out on the planet ❤❤ x

😅😂😊
😂😂 Thank you Janice
Loved watching your time in Liverpool. We go once a year around December, catch the train to Lime street station then walk across the road to stay at the Adelphi for 2 nights, the rooms are rough n ready but cheap and includes breakfast.
There's so much to do in Liverpool and the night life is great, we've found the best time to go is midweek as the weekend is too busy if you like to go down Mathew street.
To right about the Adelphi, rough n ready but definitely 'do-able' n right in the middle of everything !
I'm originally from Liverpool. I moved nearly 40 years ago, but regularly visited until 10 years ago.. My favourite pubs are The Swan in Wood Street, the Roscoe Head in Roscoe Street, Ye Crack (older than the Hole in the Wall,) and the Edinburgh in Wavertree.
Loved Roscoes, n Oconnors - tavern over the road from it.
Great video. Very well narrated and presented, you're always welcome to visit our city.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
It’s paradise
Best city in the world.
Glad you enjoyed my City.
Liverpool is the greatest city in Britain,,,great video folks👍👍👍👍👍
The Anglican Cathedral is the 8th largest in the world. Many films and TV series are made here, especially around the Georgian Quarter. It's a shame that many visitors miss seeing Speke Hall, it is a large Tudor Mansion in large grounds, close to John Lennon Airport.
Down at the pierhead the building you said was beautiful is the Cunard Building, the building you said looked like from Amsterdam is The White Star Line the owners of the Titanic, the architect built a replica in London that was Scotland Yard.
You should have gone to the museum of Liverpool. . and get the ferry across the mersey . Also radio city tower
Glad you ejoyed our beautiful city and you would be welcomed back anytime, great video again 😊
Enjoyed that! Watched it with our son visiting from Liverpool, where he moved to ten years ago. You’re right, so much to see, fab architecture, pubs and people and somewhere I’d never been before he moved there and I’m from Yorkshire too.
New subscriber here, love Liverpool ❤ have you guys been to Chester ?
Brilliant place, Thankyou for a Great Volg. See thee.
Am glad you loved the city we love it here ❤❤
Brilliant again you 2 went years back but only for 2 days so didn't see that much you have filled in a lot of blanks for me cheers . loved your synopsis on modern art I thought it was just me !
my uncle and i have a drink once in a while close to the anglican cathedral, and it does light up, i can only assume the cost of living and fuel gauging has affected it
