What absolute dedication for the cause, wellies a must. That walkway with the bridge over looks a spitting image of Runcorn Hill.
🤘😎👌m-E-m
As kids we used to play there all the time late 60's early 70's. remember every inch.
Enjoying this on a chilly Friday night with a moretti 🍺,great stuff..happy weekend to u….
Cheers chris hope you like it mate stay tuned for part 2 coming soon
Happy weekend to you to
I've been visiting the woods since I was a kid in the seventies as I lived not too far from the place. I was there only last weekend birding. I also attended Childwall College back in '85. The fields next to the woods are a real haven for wildlife these days as they've been allowed to grow wild.
This brings back memories of going to Childwall Hall College (now Lime Pictures) in 1981/82 to redo my A-Levels. A few of us used to wander off down to The Childwall Abbey pub at lunchtime where sometimes a fellow student called Craig Charles would recite some poetry that he said he had written. To be honest we weren't really sure what to make of him: genius? Or had he just nicked somebody's poems and wanted to show off? A few years later he turned up on the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf which is still going in 2022. As for the neighbouring woods, they were separated from the college by a flimsy fence that students could easily hop over and wander in for short breaks to smoke a ciggy or maybe some wacky baccy to spice up the later classes. The woods were a favourite place for locals to take a Sunday walk or as a big playground for the younger kids to explore. Loved the video, thank you!
I went there in 1967 played football with the Everton apprentices one of whom was David Johnson went on to better things, so sad he died recently
I hear what you're saying about Craig Charles and his poetry.
Love the video - I spent 2 years at Childwall Hall FE College before closing it down and sell off to the TV studios. In a class with Craig Charles doing A level English Lit (81-83 with brilliant when sober) lecturer Tim Dawson
Druggies calling the teachers auld meths eh.
nice one, cheers.
Childwall hall was demolished in the 50's and the college was built on the site.
The 3 hills are a land fill site. they were tipping there in the 1960's next to childwall lane.
Can't wait for this George..Obviously i don't know if you go there,but have you ever heard the rumours about Bloody Acre,by all saints church?Supposed to be evil,not sure if it's true or not?
Hopefully its a good video for people to watch
Never heard of that all saints thing mate ill have a google on that mate cheers
Awesome seeing the parade. Thanks for doing this mate. Keep up the good work!
cheers glad you liked it amazing isnt it the old parade is still there
24:03 them steps were part of a wooden scout hut that burned down in the late 1960's early 70's.
Whenever I've walked that carriageway it's been muddy. I never knew the land was landfill at one time. I often saw autograph hunters waiting at the entrance to Lime Pictures but never saw the side views you got here from the park. Great video.
I was told by a local walking his dog that its been cleaned up recently
Be nice to see the floor as its all one carving
I also never knew it was landfill was very surprised
That lime pictures can walk in from the back dead easy surprised they aint fixed and of the fence thats missing
Bamber Gascoigne of University Challenge is a descendent of Bamber Gascoigne who owned Childwall Hall.
Ahh cool cheers that clears that one up
*Time travel
So you got that wrong.
Another belter video mate bloody love this channel
Cheers bill glad you liked it bud
good finds enjoyed watching keep
It up
Cheers glad you liked it thanks for watching
16:37 The building at the far end of the old parade first appeared in Brookside around 1999. It came slightly before the major revamp of the rest of the set. During its construction, and for a short while after its completion, it featured heavily in the show as the Millennium Club, which was a leisure centre with large swimming baths. It was the only part of the set to not be the actual location for the interior shots, an existing real-life complex elsewhere was used instead. It's not just a frontage, it has real depth, but I don't know what its true use was. I can only assume that it was an expansion of Mersey TV's offices, or something, and they capitalised on the benefit of it backing on to the filing location. After a short time, they wrote it out of the show as becoming a defunct venue (I forget the reason.) and abandoned the whole notion of its existence during the final two or three years, barring the exterior vaguely featuring as a backdrop for some of the scenes.
The petrol station also never featured during the final year, only as a burned out wreck following the helicopter crash story. And the parade as a whole was mostly not featured, due to the budget cuts as the show was being wound down. Hollyoaks began using it before Brookside finished production, and the rare scene filmed there for Brookside during the final year rarely included any significantly detailed camera shots, due to parts of it already being refurnished for the Hollyoaks settings.
Bring back Brookside ... I was hooked (mainly cause I have a whacking great weak spot for a scouse accent 🤣)
The best accent ever 😆
@@g2emedia1977 Agreed, I live in Wolverhampton - ours is horrific 😵
@@yamyam_1978 bet its not all that bad
@@g2emedia1977 I'm aiming to come live by you guys
I would say a driveway more then a moat as we've something similar where I live now in the original drive entrance of Haigh Plantations & Hall. The chunks of stone are huge. Also while you was walking back a bit faster from the other end as you said it... it just needed a little blue worm going "ello" on the wall 🤣
Great video.
Like all the close up shots of the worked sandstone.
(Wonder what the worker had for supper at the end of the days work..?
I painted the sign for hollyoaks years back.
As for watching it...?
Better things to do...
Like looking at worked sandstone.
Look forward to your next video..
Regards.
Awesome footage ❤️
glad you liked it cheers
Just found your videos & watched with great interest. I grew up in the late 50’s/all 60’s around Childwall woods & neighbouring Jackson’s Farm. Spent many hours playing around the area. Later on I attended Childwall College (along with some Everton footballers, most notably Mick Lyons). Haven’t been around there for many years but a lot has sadly changed. My comments (if they are of any help?) 1/ That small bottle you are puzzled about seems to me to be an old meat paste jar, especially looking at the top. 2/ There was a riding stables next to the Childwall Abbey pub, which I learnt to ride at. We frequently went riding through the woods for 1/2 day rides. I suggest the bones you found could very well be horse bones (possibly neck bones) as I recall memories of a few horses dying due to bad falls in the woods, and in those days, the horses were more likely to be buried where they perished. Not sure if my comments solve anything, or are of any help to you. I look forward to watching more of your videos, now I’ve stumbled across this one. Thanx👍🏻
Thanks for contributing to what has been a really interesting presentation, it looks like a fascinating area to explore and discover. As for the 'bone' he found, I agree it looks like a piece of vertebra and a horse is the likeliest source by all accounts.
Brilliant video geoge looks spooky in there by yourself and looks a nice place for a mountain bike ride thanks for sharing this George take care
Cheers mate its a pretty cool place i plan to take me rc nitro car here next week up and down that carrigeway
Thanks for watchung cheers
@@g2emedia1977 Brilliant geoge ive got a few rc cars my self
Cool ive just got another today an old one but never used
Bleach called 'Chloros' was sold in bottles in ancient times when I was young in the 1950s.
Ahh cool cheers for the info

Love the mouse mat bro. Fellow Amigan here 👍

Reminds me of the loop line, around west derby ways all carved out the sandstone.
Really I've never seen that maye
I’m from around there,next to the studios we call it the 3 hills,and it was I believe originally a landfill
Deffo a landfill i keep digging stuff up lol
Hurry hurry hurry!! 👍👍
Hopefully it will be a good video mate for people to enjoy
You'd make a good paparazzi journalist lad, the close ups you captured were great! Haha, keep up the good work. Am a new subsciber after your channel was suggested to me by youtube.
Ha ha really cheers mate Noone ever said that before
Thanks for watching and subscribing much appreciated
Would you ever explore the trans pennine trail loop line, it use to be a old railway but now used for bikes and dog walker etc. It would be great if you could explore that, stretches from Halewood all the way to Southport
Yes its on the list I've already done a bit of it
Its not a driveway or a moat, it was dug out at the request of the owner of Childwall Hall for the cows to go to and from milking and it would not spoil the view (I got this from a Liverpool Rangers Tour about 20 years ago)
Funny side note... my mate lives in a flat on the original brookside set in Croxteth
That was where they quarried the stone for the hall.
They lived
May I suggest that u invest in a compact survival shovel, so you can just pull it out of your bag next time you find random bottles lol
had one since filming this...cheers
Love watching your videos! I'm a scouser myself love local history , what do you carry with you when you do your exploring I do a little myself have a drone and a torch but that's it.
Hello paul thanks for watching mate glad you like the vids
Depending where im going i use an osmo pocket which is a brill tiny 4k cam or lately my phone which is the s21 sometimes ill use an osmo action but mainly have that on my chest mainly for intereactions with people or police etc
The drone i have is a mavic air 2 oh and 2 big daddy nebo torches they are boss 2000lm really really bright
Upgrading my cam soon so i will be using a canon m50 mk2
Nice, a few decent finds, did anyone try and have a go at you for looking over the fence?
Cheers only towards the end a woman asked me if she could help me ha ha i just said no I'm being nosy thanks
@@g2emedia1977 I remembered something after this. My dad used to deliver flowers around that area, and when I was about 12 he took me out in the van for the day, and we dropped a bunch off at the site, and on the way out he pretended to take the wrong way out and we drove around the set for the shops and the petrol station. Security guard told us of after but, it only made it funnier.
Before I start, please tell us where you filmed you visual intro to your video's ... I'm sure others would like to know?
This video is great as its one of the places we spent (early 70s to 80 ) as kids, coming from the Childwall Valley estate by the now gone Coranation pup.
We would walk up well lane, play in the Church grave yard, then we would climb over the sand stone wall next to the enterence of Childwall Collage (now the film set)
It was good to see most (not all of them) of the places you have on the video and I like the history research you gave us at the end Thanks!.
hello mate you mean the wooded are with the g2e media presents writing that was filmed in woods in sandymoor
its a boss little area to explore lots to see and lots i didnt see
next ill prob try get into hollyoaks lol
thanks for watching glad you liked it
Well, where did you film your video intro?
@@g2emedia1977 Thanks
Jammy finding that dump!! 😩
me- Spends 6 weeks scouring the ord survey maps to find 1
You- kicks the soil in Childwall *dump appears* 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
I couldn't believe it aswell i have since been back and dug loads out
Stay tuned for pt2 cheers
The sunken Road was a coach way
cool cheers
This wsa really interesting, I used to watch Brookside but I don't watch Hollyoaks
Cheers glad you liked it i loved brooky will be doing a video om it soon
Thanks for watching
Wow, this is interesting seeing where they filmed the parade scenes in Brookie. Don't bother with Hollyoaks. I've seen on Google Maps and other videos where Brookside Close is but I'd be interested to see what is around there. It just looks like woods but would still like to see it's surrounding areas.
I'm doing a brookside video next week hopefully
@@g2emedia1977 that would be good 😁 will look out for it.
@@dmg2324 was just waiting for the weather to get better as i want to use my drone
@@g2emedia1977 I'm hoping to go and have a nosy around Easter time so will be good to see your video first.
Its a good little place for photos etc not many places like this in the uk that was an actual fully built set
Theres woods in Childwall? 😮
lots of other things to
Also explore bloody acre
Pretty sure ive heard of that
Remarkable scale, for a time of such limited technology. I reckon it could support a conspiracy theory or two.
You will find lots of medical stuff their. It’s all old hospital stuff dumped years ago
i keep meaning to go back and dig further but something always comes up
@@g2emedia1977 it’s a very interesting area. I found lots of medicine bottles a long time ago and was told by a local that a large area was a dumping ground for an old hospital many years ago around the 19 60s
happy days that good to know i love the old medicine bottles
I loved Brookside to death - mainly the accent. I'd kill to talk like that ... I sound like Noddy Holder ☹
I was around the old brookside close the other day strangley enough the place hasnt changed apart from jimmy corkhills conifer has been chopped down
Noddy holder is a legend 😄
@@g2emedia1977 He was my fave 🤣
