    Granby gone now. I loved that place, the gambling house, the food house, street buzzin with life and vibe. Sunday night beef stew at the church❤️. I’m The Bert ( Richie P, Gabriel O, Boo solid Gold, Loyd, Wayne Freemo, L8 hit squad). I’m white. Never got hassle (except the blue). Granby, Princess Ave etc was so vibrant, brilliant. I remember dancing outside African Center showing me Ska moves (rude boy) within couple of mins we had a crowd. We had food, wine and song and it went on till church opened. Loved going the Blues❤️ None left now, just a hazy memory. RIP Richie P ( brother from another), Delroy Burris. It will never ever be the same. Love you all, very much. Billy Moore, give us a shout lad. 😎🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️

    An excellent and informative analysis of a sad and unnecessary situation. Following the 1981 riots, a number of "normal" Police Officers were saying openly that the majority of the rioters and looters were white and from out of the L8/Toxteth area, just as Delroy reported that the car thieves/dumpers were coming into Granby St. from outside the area - surely the Police could have worked out that there were more stolen cars than there were in the area.
    As for "open door" at the main Bridewell, that might have worked if the door swung both ways!

    Delroy seemed like a guy you could have really interesting conversation with.
    As someone who's lived in Netherton/Bootle, I've definitely always had a negative image of Toxteth based on what people tell me and as a result, I've always steered clear of it. It's sad, because with any area that has a bad reputation, you get a lot of amazing people mixed in and tarnished with that same reputation.
