    What a brilliant video compilation and so expertly done showing old Liverpool and the people who lived there. As a boy I remember going on the overhead railway and also going to see with my dad the Empress of Canada sunk and on its side in the Gladstone Dock in 1953. Liverpool was such a big, bustling and prosperous international port but many of its citizens lived lives of poverty and lack of opportunity. Thank you for this video filmed during the days of my parents and grandparents. It is both fascinating and educational.

    What a wonderful collection of images from the Victorian period in Liverpool and the marvellous legacy of buildings you can still walk past today. At 7.38 North Castle Street that ran into South Castle Street to join Canning Place. I walked this route many times when I worked in Liverpool City Centre in the mid 1960s.
    Sadly many of Liverpool's main thoroughfares like Scotland Road, Great Homer Street, Netherfield Road and Park Road were lost by the 1970s, while there were Court houses that were overcrowded and unhealthy, a lot of large Victorian houses some with gardens were lost. If only a mix could have been included in new developments. in recent years those marketing refer to the 3 major buildings at the waterfront, as the 3 graces. Seldom is it mentioned they were a legacy of the Victorian Society in Liverpool all those years ago.
    What would those people make of these areas today.? Victoria Street in the 60s 70s, 80s was a thriving place for business commerce restaurants and small business today it seems soulless.

Every pub packed full of life all day, all night long before they could open any hours they wanted. Doors locked and a tap on the window with a little knock and you were in.

    Fascinating! I know Liverpool well and this is the nearest I'll get to going into a Time Machine. The colour and sound make it very vivid. It's very noticeable how much shorter the men in this time period were compared with men today ( who generally range between 5'10 to 6'). Most of the men in this film look to be in the range of 5'5-5'8. Not tiny ( medium height) but I only noticed one six footer here. Interestingly the women don't look much shorter than women today ( although some of the young uns in their 20s can be 5'8 or above, but mostly they are 5'3-5'7).

    One particular myth about St George's Hall is that it was 'built back to front' and this is so because the steps do not lead into the garden. You can point to the garden being called 'St John's Gardens' and that it was the churchyard of St John's and the market next to it is likewise called 'St John's Market' and in this video you see the church itself. There was a proposal that the Anglican Cathedral be placed there.

    I have a theory that I think is true which is that when you die you're then born again into a fresh body in the same city that you lived in in your first life. So for example take a ten year old boy as seen in this film in 1901. Let's say he lives until he's 58 which I'm guessing was about the life expectancy at the time. So he will die in 1901 - 10 + 58 = the year 1949. Then he'll come again in someone else who's really the same person, in the same city in this case the wonderful Liverpool. So he'll now be 73 watching this in 2022. So if you're 73, you may well be him, say a 50-50 chance

    I was down there today on a bus going past the exact place that's spooky my nan was born in 1904 and I'm 65. I was born in 1957.i was told when I was as kid there was a church at the back of St Georges hall but never saw it. Until now I remember when St George's Hall was the crown Court. I got a few years in that place. The good old days I think not. Haha. I'm retired now.

Don't take my word for it, go and check yourself London, Birmingham, Leicester, Bradford, for example, and you'll see that the only English thing remained is some of the architecture.
