    Used to go to O'Connors, the Phil, Kirklands Wine Bar, the Cavern and everyone I met was charming and amazing.
    I also would love to step back in time and hug my friends and family once more.

    I'm from a small town in New Zealand. After the war many men from Liverpool came here to help build the Tasman paper mill. There is a street here now called Liverpool st. Many of them went home after the job but some did stay for good and had family's here. Half of the mill closed last week and the 3rd and last paper machine was turned off for good. It seams the world doesn't want that much paper any more.

    This was made in the year that, as a southerner, I first visited Liverpool. Although I've been there many, many times since, this is how I remember my experience of that time. I even got to ride on the top deck of one of the City's green double-deckers. It has changed so much, even in the last 10 or 15 years, that the place is almost unrecognisable.

    The city of my birth and the year I was born...it’s almost unrecognisable compared to what it is now...the old bull ring has been converted into student accommodation...the flyover is no longer more. The docks are now vibrant and thriving, not the neglected run down area that we see in this footage. I notice there were not too many cars on the road in those days either. I guess with technology and modernisation things like community spirit and children playing out in the street, have all but ceased to be...all in the name of progress and change, but quite sad in lots of other aspects.
    No matter what though, there’s always someone to sing a song and tell a joke in this wonderful city...a city oozing talent and political awareness...a sporting prowess almost second to none...a sharp witted humour like no other in planet earth...a lot has changed in 46 years...not to mention a few grey strands!!...but lovely to remember and reminisce♥️x

      Stoker Films Whats wrong with students living in the Bull Ring? Could it be that local people didn't want to live there? You contradict yourself when you say that there were few cars around, yet you bemoan the demolition of the flyovers- why were they flyovers built There? Because of CONGESTION. Before the Wallasey Tunnel was built a breakdown in the Birkenhead tunnel would cause gridlock at both ends and impede non tunnel users trying to get home. In 1973 car traffic was as bad as today,although most cars were British built. As for the docks thriving that is only at the Seaforth end of the river. There are more students than dockers nowadays. Most of the docks south of Bootle are DERELICT. Smell the scouse Stoker Films.

      I'v never been to Liverpool(but intend to do so some day)But the "Scousers"I've encounterd in London&abroad were usually refreshingly friendly&down to earth,with a sharp sense of humour.
      I think having a tough upbringing usually builds character and when my parents came over from Ireland 🇮🇪(County Kerry)they could have easily have settled in this City,as opposed to London(they might have been better off)Because in London,they really were like "Fish out of water"and the locals were'nt exactly welcoming to those"Paddys"..And my folks always listened to this song(the version by the legendary"Dubliners"is one of my favourites)
      But at least in the 60's&70's u had that LEGEND Bill Shankley.A true one of a kind!!.I I'm always looking for vids of him,totally authentic.So as i said,the nxt time I'm back in the UK,i'll have to take a visit to"Scouserland"😏.and stay for a few days..Alright,calm down now👍

    The day's when my dad used to sit on the bog reading the echo with the door not even closed properly (locked) the dirty b*****d me mum used to scream at him but he'd just laugh like Jim Royal "Oh! I've been working all day leave me alone will yerr can't have 10minutes peace in this bleedin house!
    But he'd sh*t himself when he could hear a visitor knocking on the front door you could hear the panic as what sounded like the echo getting thrown to the floor as he'd slam it to put the lock on and they were the day's when you'd have to use the echo to wipe your a*se coz you'd run out of bog roll and there was no such thing as bio degradable stuff and the only way you'd know was when you pull the chain or handle and then the water got higher and higher as you pray to god for it to stop' because you used too much paper so you had to wait a few minutes or shout your dad to unblock it with the carrier bag over his hand and forearm trick then he'd call you all the smelly so and so's in the world as he'd say to everyone whose laughing in the living room especially if the neighbour was there " Oh! It's only last night dinner leave him alone for f*ck sake! but we all laugh about it now' them days we're hard but everyone helped each other out "like the borrow out of the back of the television (if you know what I mean?) Then a fella called the tele bank man would come about every month and there was only a few 50p pence pieces in it but he'd just smirk but he'd know what had been going on he wasn't stupid although the little brother or sister would say 'we don't really use the tele in our house then they get a mouth full after he left for making it so blatantly obvious what had been happening, some people even had a brain wave (only a scousers one) with the old stiff wire trick putting into that box at the back then pulling it up and down Clicking it like mad so the machine though it was receiving silver food but it wasn't " it was getting a bit of wire with a hook on the end" i was only a kid back then and it was just another way to survive but then for some Mysterious reason the TV would come back on but went off about 12 with some dog and girl smiling at you because the TV was about to start going BEEEEEB all night no ch4 or ch5 back then just teletext' and the TV had to get turned over as we'd call it by turning a button or dial plus black and white no colour either then everyone use to phone everyone or tell anyone in the street that a TV detector van was around and to turn the television off >it didn't even exist it was just a van with a aerial on the top' we had community centers "the Como we called it" it had a disco it was somewhere to go and have a game of pool with your mates you could even bump into someone without getting stabbed and you fought with your bare hand's to sort things out because you was a 'sh*t house' if you didn't but them days have well gone because its a knife and a pit bull that's the 'must have thing ' but not everyone in today's younger generation are bad it's those who wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes during our teenage years who are the bad apples, as little kids having places you could go your mum and dads knew you was safe and having a laugh trying to look boss with your sh*t clothes on that you mum bought you along with the smell of Brute 45 that you got for your birthday or Christmas that's now long gone I think the Brute 45? you'd look back on old photos and ask your mum How could you let you go out dressed like that even though it looked alright to her,we had discos in those community centres that stopped then close about 10-10.30pm - not many around these days our local one had to be demolished after lasting over 35 years because someone set fire to it even though it was still getting used, in the past because it was a struggle some mum's mainly would go the market in town to get shoes for your dads or even yourself if you was unlucky and grab one off a pile of hundreds with a number inside and say to the man with a leather bag strapped to himself ( errrm excuse me love have you got the other one to this one please) being a kid I was like saying what's she talking about then the man would disappear under the pile and pop back up with crap looking shoes for your dad then you'd start p*ssing yourself laughing because you've seen what your dads got for his feet for the next 12months but then she'd wipe the smile off your face as she show's you the one's she got you for school when you wasn't looking then you'd insist that you wasn't going to put them on then the word's was "that's all I can afford so you wear what I give ya!" So you had to go to school with shoes on with numbers inside made with a black ink marker thank god it was only the time you was still in the infant's,
    It was the day's when some people would even have a Polaroid negative by the Lecky metre for some reason or something called a U bend i think it was called that had loads of tape on it "not sure what they was for though" until me dad told me to go away so as a kid you do until the sound of bzzzz"BOOM" Ahaà! Then he came into the living room the colour of boiled sh*te and that's how he learned how to do certain thing's (the hard way) some old Neighbor had one to get the weeds from between the paving flag's " you'd say > what's that but he used to say Oh! Just a bit of wire he'd had for years and smile!
    The ice cream man would come about 8-9 or even 10pm by ours ringing his bell because the music thing was banned after 6pm he'd not just sell ice cream but cigarette's a (lossy) I've never smoked but my old mates did but back then I think it was just to make themselves look dead hard but now half of them can hardly breath and the flock wall paper was the in thing "well in our house it was with green,Brown and yellow the colour you'd see and a carpet if you had the money with the Paisley pattern in it,even families interacted with each other not like today's world as everyone is transfixed on mobile phones as their is practically silence in the house until someone Say's something about somebody else on social media (something I don't use or bother with) it cause's more trouble than a fox in a chicken farm,OK I'm on this because the kids have took over TV so I've come upstairs because i was told about this video,
    Anyway that's all from me but I'd like to thank my mum+dad for bringing me into this world even though society,politics and technology is a lot different and in some cases 'taking over' (automation, human rights and crazy politicians making life a misery for many people in this brilliant city)

      Evan McAuley the point I’m trying to make is that to say that this was before some “third world invasion” is nonsensical because if you’re from Liverpool and trace your family tree back far enough you’ll most likely find that one of your relatives was one of these “invaders” anyway, so such comments about a “third world in invasion” become hypocritical and moronic
