Fabulous video. Been waiting for this since you teased us with a trailer all those months ago. Really love your videos on Liverpool’s history. Appreciate the effort and danger you put yourself in to produce such interesting content. Looking forward to your future adventures.

Used to go for a drink at the Britannia pub, and an explore around the old garden festival area in the mid 90s. It was virtually open then, and you could see all the old attractions
Hi George, Great Video, I lived in Aigburth as a youngster and must have ben passed this point many times and never realised what what there. I thought you did a great impression of David Attenborough walking through the undergrowth, I half expected you to come across a Silverback Gorilla. It is a shame these landmarks are not kept accessible for everyone, but thanks to your efforts we can all see these hidden gems. Well done and thanks again for the video. All the Best. Fred
hi fred thanks for watching mate glad you liked the video ha ha if only i could do the voice id probably have impersonated him ha ha i love exploring these hidden gems such a shame most of them are out of bounds to public thanks again mate for the support much appreciated
Great Vid - you mention that the Britannia is one of the only surviving parts of the festival - there's also a couple of the "houses of the future" are part of the modern street "Gardenia Grove"
George, that`s what I call Dedication, I was knackered just watching you 🤣. I remember when they were building the Garden festival, the firm I worked for used to maintain all the two way Radios that the security and the site staff used. It`s weird remembering it being built and now there is no trace of it, just open land. Cracking video mate 👍👍
ha ha there was no way i wasnt getting into this one just wished the weather was better lol one thing i wish id have seen was the building of the garden frestival i must have only been 6 or so at time so when this place opened and i got taken down by my.uncle i instantley liked what i seen and even to this day at the age of 46 im still finding parts of it lol its mad as it wasnt even on for that long great memories of here even when it was pleasure island in the 90s...what a time to be alive thank you so much for watching much appreciated ste
@@g2emedia1977 Always a pleasure George. The amount of Money that was spent around that time, along the dock road was crazy. Businesses were given grants to do up the front of their Buildings, all the old Railway lines that ran into the different docks were concreted over and new sidewalks laid down. The Building site of the actual festival was massive during it`s construction. But all said and done, it came and went and to my mind, it just didn`t justify the expense. We were just starting to come out of that 80s depression period, which was an awful time for our City. I have the original Boys from The Black Stuff on disc somewhere and in the opening credits, it is filmed all along that part of what is now the festival road and it is just a desolate wasteland. How far our City has come since those Bleak days is just amazing mate. I`m 64 now and I`m just glad those days are behind us.
Brilliant mate,everyone in bed and am sitting on a balcony in Greece watching this with a coffee and watching the towel sunbed shuffle..,superb as always mate..love some lost Liverpool 👍👍
Best one yet kidda. Just to add . Am sure there's a set of old stone steps a bit further towards the end of that rock face. Its the only they place they can be. Great video George 10/10.
thank you pete for you kind comment glad you liked the video those stairs do sound really interesting maybe when the weather gets better ill check it out thanks for the info mate
Hi George l have been looking forward to watch your video on Dingle Point love the before and after photos. I think that you have been the first person to touch Dingle Point well done great explor thanks for sharing 👍
hi martin thanks for watching glad you like the video been a long time coming this vid so glad i finally done it would have loved to spend more time exploring here but it was peeing it down lol
Knott's Hole down the Dingle inspired the anchorage of Kitts Hole....down the dingle in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. This was a homage to the abolitionist Cropper family who lived at Dingle Point and who kick-started the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833.
ha ha the camera hides the rain wel its mad how some gardens have fences and some dont but tut tut there was a lot of waste chucked down from the houses above which i never shown on camera thanks for watching matel
I tell people when passing that there is the original shoreline and we are driving on the beach. The houses on top are from Floral Wood, a private road. Hint, next time you go mounting fences, 9 cable ties, 3 together as a step X 3 steps, like a little ladder.
"I'm slipping I'm slipping!" Lol you made me laugh mate. Thanks for another great video. I've taken the Mrs to a few places from your videos but I won't be taking her on this one it would kill me. I couldn't get over the fence to begin with lol. Cheers George. 😉👍
lol it took me bloody ages getting in this one like maybe an hour waiting for ttaffic to die down and that lol really really slippy up top even when i was eating my pie i was slipping lol thank you for watching glad you liked it id deffo take the missus as you can see a lot from outside the fence
Fascinating stuff - finding it coincided with a bit of "lite" research I was doing - my mum is from St Michaels...- From Wiki.....James Cropper was born at Winstanley, Lancashire into a Quaker family, the son of Thomas Cropper and his wife Rebecca Winstanley. ........In 1799 James Cropper went into partnership with Thomas Benson to form the shipping agents Cropper, Benson and Co. He became an abolitionist, active against slavery in the Caribbean. ....... The success of his firm enabled Cropper to eventually build a pocket stately home called Dingle Bank on the rocky promontory of Dingle Point, overlooking the River Mersey in the south of Liverpool. Two adjacent houses were built for Cropper's sons - John and Edward.[2]
thank you joe the pie was delicious ...they always are from jonnos lol that beluga is amazing isnt it was pity it wasnt the new xl one thanks for watching mate
Hi George, Loved the video "George in the Jungle". You were great. I thought you may have struck oil, when you said it looked like Tar. And all the different minerals in those rocks shown by the various colours on the edge of the Rock. Brilliant. Those rocks are probably millions of years old.
thank yiu for watching mountain goat i didnt realise how much it sloped when i was up top and the rain didnt help at all lol glad you liked the video thanks
hes doing really well hes out with me this week got a few.good things lined up ill tell him you was asking mate that game ill look at today been through most the stuff i got so ill be spending today having a look at that and others
So is that the Festival Gardens I went to as a kid in the 80s? where the fiberglass yellow submarine was before the plonked it outside of Albert Docks?
@g2emedia1977 is that when it opened? Was it ran just that once? I would of been 3-4yr old then was born in 81 lol although I do remember having my striped umbrella buggy with us. Lol its crazy what your mind can remember 🤣 I spoke to a fella where the Sub is now & was asking if it's the one I climbed in & out if years ago at the Gardens & my mum was like don't be stupid it's long gone, he goes no the ladder was attached here it's the same one. But I don't recall the water buckets at all & my mum has a pic of me sat next to them on the same day lol
Trespass is a civil matter any police interaction would be ' Can you please leave sir '. Wearing a Hi Viz also could imply you could be there even if you should not have been. Great Vid
In the 1950s there was a jetty a Dingle for Oil Tankers to tie up to for unloading Oil. i was told by my Grandmother that old Ships used to be BrokenUp on The cast Iron Shore at Oglet the Cast Iron Shore was known as The Cazzie there was a flight of steps cut through the rock down to the Shore with a big Iron Door fastened to the rock face it always mystified me what it was for.
Brilliant vid George, I didn't know there was a Dingle point, Any chance of you going a bit further along, by st. Michaels station to Priory Woods, there are remnents of some sort of structure there but was it a priory?
@@g2emedia1977 thanks mate, i'll check it out, n keep it up mate, everyone i know loved the wilson king vid, we all walked past it every day , but never saw inside 🙂
That looked like fun lol. I went in closer to St Michael's station end. It's less exposed but you can find the original sandstone shoreline. The Britannica end is definitely more exposed. If I was to do that again I would maybe invest in some hi Vis workwear a hardhat and a ladder and walk in like you own the place. Nobody would bat an eyelid 😂 I enjoyed that one cheers 👍
Wow that pipe looks good.....where do you get them. Tar like substance....could be crude oil from the spillage's at the oil jetty dock that was very near were your are. They where not treated so serious back when the Dingle Oil jetty was going....was it 70 years ago. Love to see some pictures of it...ie tankers tied up and the plant.....was it a refinery? I remember when the city council used the whole area as a landfill site to reclaime....they hopefully knew not better.....even 3rd world countries would not tip like that now..... I would not like to live in a home built on top of it. Must be 100s if not 1000s of old cars dumped under that area.....we used to play on the as kids.....they will all still be under ground. Great job letting us all see Dingle Rock.....well done mate.
The pub was never part of the garden festival, the garden festival had barriers all the way around and the pub was in a separate location 20 metres on the outskirts of the festival gardens
As kids we went festival everyday ,it was very expensive, few local dingle kids could afford to go there ,we did bunk in hundreds of times ,but the pub was only in the vicinity of the garden festival and was aways a separate location ,it still the same now ,you can still go to either or both but they only shared a location
The garden centre altough big in its day so succombed to wasted ground who in their right mind is interested in plants when britains full of them i know you got soaked you should carry a flask of coffee with you
there was and still is sandstone cliffs all around that area even if it wasnt the actual point which may have beem further down this rockface was part of that cliff that met the point im no expert im just going off info on the web
@@g2emedia1977 In that case we are both right. Herculaneum Dock was unusual in this regard as all other docks in the Liverpool system were reclaimed or extended from the foreshore, which is true of the latest Conatainer terminals as well. As a teelgram Boy over 55 years ago I used to take grams to there and it was also the base of the Liverpool trawler Fleet, what ever happened to that, presumably killed off by the EEC-CFP as were Tate's and Bibby's etc on the Dock Road.
Great video I don't understand garden festival was made for the people now they are just chipping away at it building houses should at least expose the point for the sake of history carry on the good work.
brilliant, its a shame the coucil spends money on shite when if they opened this up as a tourist attraction. Huyton Ashpalt would probably get the contract
