12:12 Yer you didn't choose a good Airbnb location regarding noise and anti-social behaviour. Bold Street is right in the heart of Liverpool's nightclub scene. Right behind where you were staying is surrounded by nightclubs. So yes you get a lot of happy and rowdy people there every night, all night. Especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Also, the Police saying she was very happy was a euphemism for very drunk.
I was going to comment this. Pretty much smack bang on top of concert square. Would definatly recomend staying somewhere a little bit out of the city center - even if it means getting a short bus into the city.
@@evan sorry you had that experience here. Liverpool has some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But honestly, your experience is a accurate representation of some of the population. Hope it hasn't soured your experience here, and if you visit again - you need to stay somewhere slightly away from the city center for a good night's sleep.
@@irenedavo3768 Aintree is nice, 20 mins away from the centre on the train. Pretty much residential by that point. Just don't recommend staying right in the centre. Anywhere 10+ mins out of town is fine

A notice on a church in Liverpool said 'If you're done with sin come in.' Underneath someone had written 'If you're not, ring this number' (followed by the number). Another church notice said. 'What would you do if Jesus came to Liverpool?' Underneath someone had written 'Move St John to inside right' (St John was a famous Liverpool footballer at the time).
6:15 it was supposed to be bigger, in fact it was supposed to be the biggest in the world. Search up ‘Lutyens Cathedral’. Only the crypt was built and then they ran out of money after WW2 so they built a smaller design on top of the crypt, which is known locally as the ‘wigwam’ iirc.
Back in 2001 I was on a week-long residential choir course mostly at the Anglican (ie. Church of England) cathedral since it was aimed at people going for choral scholarships at Oxford/Cambridge, but we did also sing a couple of services at Liverpool Met. The two buildings have very different acoustics, as you might expect - sound in the Anglican cathedral just rolls down to the entrance doors, while in the Met cathedral it disappears up the central 'chimney' which is quite challenging.
Really enjoy watching you and Bliss discovering Liverpool together. Brings back nice memories of our visit there a few years ago, and you two are showing me how much more there is to see. Bliss is a lovely addition to the story.
Sefton Park may be our biggest park (?) but it's a long way from my favourite (and I did use to live nearby). We have SO many parks, much more than most cities I've been to, and some of the smaller ones are incredibly pretty. My personal favourite is probably Calderstones (named after the Neolithic stones there).
From what I’ve been told by many of my scouse friends, scouse is a stew from leftovers or veg that needs eating - kind of the meat and veg in the pantry just before a big shop. So it varies from family to family depending on what meat and veg the family regularly eats
I only ever make mine with beef chunks iv never used any othere meat in mine I no a lot of people use mince or lamb I just prefer the tast of beef An my bowl is way fuller than that lol xx
Traditionally you use the cheap cuts of beef chopped up as it was originally poor people food, some form of stock, potatoes, white onions, carrots and salt (ratios vary by family recipe). All chopped and thrown in a big pot together and stewed very slowly to soften the meat. Lots of families have there own spin on the stock/gravy and seasonings (like adding a spoonful of brown/tomato sauce, bone marrow, Bovril or similar) It famously tastes better reheated the next day so many families choose to “make it today, for tomorrow’s eatin” and a pot usually lasts for 3-4 days depending on family size and gets better each day. Using mince, lamb or any other veg (like peas, sweetcorn, leeks or beans) makes it an Irish stew in traditional Scousers eyes. Though as with everything, modern tastes will add or spin the recipe to their own liking.
Lady Locket yer I boil my beef first to get rid of the scummy bits then I use the warter from that ad onions carats potatoes I never add salt but do add oxo cubes An a couple of the stock pots bring it all to the boil then leave it to simmer on a low heat for gd couple of houses I no a lot of people who have it left the next day make a Scouse pie it dose Tate better the next day that's all I get out of mine is 2 nights lol xx
It looks like the Ship and Mitre where you got Scouse in the end. Haven’t been in ages but the food and beer is great there. I used to pop in at lunch when I was at Uni
Had a day out to Liverpool yesterday and had a lovely time! Went to Bold street (as you recommended) and went on a Beatles tour. Things really started to pick up later in the afternoon as people were out drinking and I guess this video demonstrates how rowdy it can get. But all in all a welcoming and beautiful place, especially in the morning when it was a bit quieter!! hope things are going well for u back in london :)
The metropolitan cathedral was supposed to be a lot larger but they ran out of money if you go to the national museum in Liverpool you can see a model of what it was designed to look like. The museum also has great displays and information about the history of Liverpool if you are interested and great views to
The Metropolitan Cathedral is affectionately known by locals as Paddy’s Wigwam. I used to live by Sefton park, lark lane is near by and full of independent bars and restaurants.
It's been a while since I've been back there, but if you have the time or the inclination, I'd recommend visiting a couple of out of the way little places. Here's a few suggestions: The Egg Café (a colourful, lovely, vegan eatery), 3345 Parr Street (a music studio, hotel and bar), Alma de Cuba (a cocktail bar set in a renovated church - avoid busy times!), Lark Lane, The Philharmonic, The Bluecoat and - if you don't mind me injecting some university nostalgia - Kimos Cafe up on Myrtle Street (enjoy the chicken club sandwich and chips).
Ahhhhh lifelong scouser here! Lark Lane is the loveliest place in the city to eat/drink, Bold Street vibes near Sefton Park. Also worth exploring the festival gardens!
I'm glad you got to see Liverpool - I'm not from there but it's a favourite city. You missed a trick not going into the Philharmonic pub just across from the hall where the Liverpool Phil plays. But I was pleased to see you found Ma Egerton's. This pub is very handy for us musos in the intervals as it's just a few steps from the stagedoor. The pizzas there aren't too bad either. Good luck with your next visit.
I had my University Graduation Ceremony in the Anglican church! I also love the Graveyard underneath the Anglican. I love Sefton Park but they really do need to clean the water!
I loved the Anglican Liverpool Cathedral when I visited it. If you return to Liverpool, try visiting the crypt of the RC Cathedral. The original idea was to build a church designed by Lutyens and the crypt was actually built. It is so wonderful! The model of the Lutyens cathedral is (or was ten years ago) in one of the museums, but I forget which one. They had to scrap plans to build the Lutyens because it would have cost too much. Thank you for the video!
I have been to Liverpool, and loved it. The next time I go, I will use your tips, so thanks for those. I absolutely love the logo/mascot for Liverpool, the Liver Bird. I found that I had taken many photos of it on my trip, and still enjoy seeing them. It's clever and I wish my hometown had an equally lovely mascot/logo. I really enjoy the way you showcase a city's essence. Bliss is a delight. Does she have content I should be following?
The 'Liver Bird' is not a mascot, it is an 'Heraldic Beast' and is the Coat of Arms, that's all, just the Liver Bird. They were really imaginative about the Civic Crest of the city though , it's a .... Liver Bird! The town was founded by King John in 1208 and the citizens adopted his symbol 'The Eagle of St John' but over the years it got to look like a Pterodactyl and so has its own bird named after the town.
My dog walked into a little green canal like that because he thought it was just grass so kept going! Big mistake! After I dragged him out and dried him a bit he just stood looking at it obviously trying to work out what the hell happened! :-D
ooh you are at the ship and Mitre, thats one of my favourite spots in liverpool, great selection of beers, relatively late open kitchen and chill vibes.
I once had a sleepover in the anglican church when I was in secondary school with our sunday school. It was so much fun actually. Also had my uni graduation at the anglican one, and sang Handel's messiah in the catholic on (Paddy's wigwam, as it is affectionately known)
I used to live around Sefton Park and loved it there but after 4 years, I felt like I had grown out of the city and kept seeing more negatives than positives about it. Still, I feel nostalgic for that time and it's nice how you captured some of the energy that I liked about being there. Now I also live in London but I feel like I'm better off in a smaller city and plan on moving again next year :'D
When you were in the cathedral did you get to the top, it’s an amazing place to look out over our city. When you’re in Liverpool you’re in another country we are unique in this country we hopefully respect where you come from and glad you’re here we don’t care what you’re name is boy we’ll never turn you away
Thank you for this as I really wanted to know about this city. Because of your helpful videos i will visit Liverpool (& because of The Beatles too) Thank you.
Fun fact is that there was a synchrocyclotron that was built on the site of the Catholic Cathedral. I always loved when my mum made Scouse. It was a two day process. My student days were spent in Liverpool and I was in a hall of residence near Sefton Park. It was a favourite place to go at the weekends. I'm surprised you didn't make a pilgrimage to Penny Lane since it is close.
Some university students actually have exams in the crypt of the metropolitan cathedral. That looks like the ship and mitre where you had Scouse. I miss that place
If you have time, try the restuarants in Lark Lane. I don't know what time they close, but they would be open at lunch time. It's between Sefton Park and Aigburth Road. Also 'Peter Kavanagh's' Egerton St (formerly called 'The Grapes) is worth a visit if you have time. The Philharmonic is the most famous pub I think and the gents' toilets are said to be a wonder not to be missed, though I've never experienced that myself.
Yes, I have a couple of photos of the Philharmonic's urinals-they are class-but I was very careful to wait until nobody was there. There are two rooms in the pub which are named Brahms and Liszt... for obvious reasons.
I’m lucky to work as a tattooist in Liverpool, in my line of work I get a lot of folks travelling in and it’s lovely seeing how excited they get about the city and things they’ve seen and done here.
it feels so strange seeing someone vlog on my literal door step ahah! hope liverpool is treating you well *edit: i go to liverpool uni and we sit our exams in the crypt of the met cathedral and i can promise you its much more creepy down there
Lovely to see the cathedrals, I live in Liverpool but with the pandemic I haven't visited them for a while. Did you find the arch in the Anglican cathedral where you can stand at either end and whisper to each other?
I grew up in Crosby in the 60s and would visit Liverpool quite often. Your video brought back great memories. There are many songs about Liverpool …. The Spinners (In my Liverpool Home), Gerry & The Pacemakers (Ferry Across The Mersey), The Beatles (Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane) to name a few. I hope you went to Mathew Street and Pier Head!
Penny Lane is always associated with The Beatles but another Musical Giant also lived there. Freddy Mercury was with a Liverpool band called The Ibex and during his time with them he had a room in Dovedale Towers. That was in 1969, Queen were formed in 1970 and the rest as they say, is History.
I hope you enjoyed Liverpool - you walked past/videoed where I lived near Philharmonic Hall (as a student in early 1990's), If I remember correctly the nickname of the Roman Catholic Cathedral was 'Paddy's Wigwam') and the large CoE Cathedral was early 20th century and designed by the same guy who designed the iconic red UK Telephone Box. You could have had a really good 'dim sum' lunch in Liverpool's China Town. Not scouse but still ethnic! Not sure if you knew how much Liverpool got bombed in WW2, there was a lot of damage including the church you couldn't get into. I hope you walked in the footsteps of Liverpool's famous sons - over the Abbey Road Zebra where the Beatles were photographed for the Album cover.
@@DragonRidingHood Ditto. We were doing a job here and on the last day, the lads I was working with asked me to show them around. We did the 3 graces, Cathedrals etc and my mate said to me, you have a really Lovely city, I can see why Scousers are so proud of it. I thought that was really nice.
the Anglican cathedral (normal looking one) is the biggest Anglican cathedral in the UK. And the Anglican and catholic/metropolitan cathedrals are connected by hope street
Fun memory Years ago Mother and Brother in law where in the congregation at the catholic cathedral. They were filming a live church service called "songs of praise". Camera panned across and focused briefly on my brother-in-law he was picking his nose. Picking his nose on live TV during a church service Grandma in law was very proper very unimpressed lol. He's in his 40s now I feel old just realised how long I've known my wife. They all used to travel to Liverpool at the weekend for Mother-in-law to have organ lessons in paddy's wigwam. Number of times they had to evacuate different buildings in the city because the IRA had phoned in a bomb threat. Wife says nearly every time they went they ended up stood in the cold. It's an amazing city always full of life.
Yep proper friendliness and chattiness decreases as you go south, I'm about an hour and a half south of Liverpool and they are still noticeably more amiable in the shops up there. Ooh Evan, if u read this Birkenhead Park, just across the Mersey (u can catch the metro their from lime street) it's apparently a replica of central Park, to scale, in fact it may have been first I'm not sure.
You missed a trick regarding the two cathedrals. One is the Anglican cathedral and the other is the Catholic cathedral and the street which connects both of them, the one you filmed, is called HOPE Street.
The original design for the Roman Catholic cathedral was going to be much bigger than than the Angican, you can see the architects model of it in the waterfront museum.
That was 1 tight scouse that, proper scouse is a full bowl with bread on the side, not one for the cabbage or betroot as some people have tho, love the vlogs of my city
Definitely picked the wrong street to stay on 🙃 bold street is right by Concert Square which is where the clubs are haha! If you ever come up again give me a shout i'll show you round properly 😁 you need to visit all the beatles places too
fun fact about the catholic cathedral, it was originally designed to be bigger than the protestant one, but the church ran out of money and marble during the 2nd world war and had to redesign it so it was feasible to build ! :P
Kitchen's closing early is so annoying, and quite common unfortunately. The good places win out eventually and there are plenty of them. Castle Street, HArdman Street, Hope Street, Bold Street, Lark Lane, Hanover Street, Liverpool One, Jamiaca Street.. Definitely do your research first though and check out trip advisor, it's usually a good inidcator. I would also advise any tourists not to stay in cheap accommodation on Bold Street, ever! Far too noisy and there are an abundance of hotels for the same price. Nice video anyway guys, hope you come back one day!

@@mattburns7597 Another beautiful park.
Many people in Liverpool think that Sefton Park is the biggest park but it’s trumped by Croxteth Park which is more than double the size.
Sefton Park used to be amazing when we were growing up, they had both Motor Boats and Rowing Boats on The Lake.
Birkenhead Park(not far from Liverpool) is nice too; frist public park in the world i believe. Central Park in new York copied its design.

Penny Lane is always associated with The Beatles but another Musical Giant also lived there. Freddy Mercury was with a Liverpool band called The Ibex and during his time with them he had a room in Dovedale Towers. That was in 1969, Queen were formed in 1970 and the rest as they say, is History.
If you like Bold street then try Lark Lane. Very bohemian and quirky shops, bars and restaurants.
I hope you enjoyed Liverpool - you walked past/videoed where I lived near Philharmonic Hall (as a student in early 1990's), If I remember correctly the nickname of the Roman Catholic Cathedral was 'Paddy's Wigwam') and the large CoE Cathedral was early 20th century and designed by the same guy who designed the iconic red UK Telephone Box. You could have had a really good 'dim sum' lunch in Liverpool's China Town. Not scouse but still ethnic! Not sure if you knew how much Liverpool got bombed in WW2, there was a lot of damage including the church you couldn't get into. I hope you walked in the footsteps of Liverpool's famous sons - over the Abbey Road Zebra where the Beatles were photographed for the Album cover.
Wasn't that in London?
@@Bllairy You are correct, my apologies. I was getting confused between Abbey Road and Strawberry Fields location
Paddy's wigwam, and i think the bells are called Mathew, Mark, Luck and john.
6:46 that the bus stop outside my college
When I went to see the Anglican cathedral, they were holding graduation ceremonies there. So the size was useful!
it’s so weird seeing you in my city 😭😭 idk why it just makes me proud lmao
Same I always get so Scouse proud whenever showing people around the city ❤️
Why? Who is he?
@@happyapple4269 Scouse Meat Potato Veg
@@DragonRidingHood Ditto. We were doing a job here and on the last day, the lads I was working with asked me to show them around. We did the 3 graces, Cathedrals etc and my mate said to me, you have a really Lovely city, I can see why Scousers are so proud of it. I thought that was really nice.
You should have gone to the cafe at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. Sells the best scouse at a very reasonable price.
the Anglican cathedral (normal looking one) is the biggest Anglican cathedral in the UK. And the Anglican and catholic/metropolitan cathedrals are connected by hope street
You missed Lark Lane which is literally around the corner from Sefton Park
Fun memory Years ago Mother and Brother in law where in the congregation at the catholic cathedral. They were filming a live church service called "songs of praise". Camera panned across and focused briefly on my brother-in-law he was picking his nose. Picking his nose on live TV during a church service Grandma in law was very proper very unimpressed lol. He's in his 40s now I feel old just realised how long I've known my wife.
They all used to travel to Liverpool at the weekend for Mother-in-law to have organ lessons in paddy's wigwam. Number of times they had to evacuate different buildings in the city because the IRA had phoned in a bomb threat. Wife says nearly every time they went they ended up stood in the cold. It's an amazing city always full of life.
Love this! Where did you end up getting your Scouse from? I live here and want to try it.
Best park is Stanley Park or Croxteth Park - both North Liverpool.
Yep proper friendliness and chattiness decreases as you go south, I'm about an hour and a half south of Liverpool and they are still noticeably more amiable in the shops up there. Ooh Evan, if u read this Birkenhead Park, just across the Mersey (u can catch the metro their from lime street) it's apparently a replica of central Park, to scale, in fact it may have been first I'm not sure.
There*
Yes, it was the blueprint for Central Park.
Ty, I'm sure I knew that, just couldn't remember which way round. Beautiful park
Every single one of these vlogs entertains me beyond belief. Love it!
You missed a trick regarding the two cathedrals. One is the Anglican cathedral and the other is the Catholic cathedral and the street which connects both of them, the one you filmed, is called HOPE Street.
Was that the Ship and Mitre where you finally got some scouse?
Sefton Park .... The pub 'The Masonic', is it still open ?
I really hope you got to see the museums and art gallery’s too, they’re amazing.
The second cathedral is called Paddy's wigwam because of its shape and as it's RC, most parishioners are of Irish stock.
Alternative nickname =. The Mersey Funnel
Did you know that the designer of Central Park in New York based it on Liverpool's Sefton Park
Along with Birkenhead Park Hannah.
You didn't do the phone box thing in the Anglican Cathedral? Both designed by the same person
Yes, Giles Gilbert Scott, if anyone wants to look him up.
The original design for the Roman Catholic cathedral was going to be much bigger than than the Angican, you can see the architects model of it in the waterfront museum.
Bombed out church used to be a really cool alternative space, now it's like a slightly nicer version of the baltic market.
2:30 - funnily enough there's a st chad's church like 8 miles away
That's right, in Kirkby, my home town
The Anglican cathedral is the largest in the UK and 8th largest in the world.
Still can't belive you lived in liverpool hope you enjoyed our city!!
Funny fact ! Architect who designed Lpool Anglican Cathedral church also designed the red phone boxes all 3!
That was 1 tight scouse that, proper scouse is a full bowl with bread on the side, not one for the cabbage or betroot as some people have tho, love the vlogs of my city
I was thinking the same mine are way bigger serving than that An crusty tiger cobs with mine mmmmm I need Scouse xx
Definitely picked the wrong street to stay on 🙃 bold street is right by Concert Square which is where the clubs are haha! If you ever come up again give me a shout i'll show you round properly 😁 you need to visit all the beatles places too
did you not go to the wispering wall in the anglican church. x x
I went to uni in Liverpool and graduation was in the Anglican cathedral 😍
My wife abseiled down that 1st cathedral! Quite an achievement!
did u rub the mouse's head in the anglican cathedral?
Shame you missed the peace doves installation in the anglican cathedral, it was gorgeous
fun fact about the catholic cathedral, it was originally designed to be bigger than the protestant one, but the church ran out of money and marble during the 2nd world war and had to redesign it so it was feasible to build ! :P
what means 12 x 638,40 x(22-05) = cash right and a apartment 200 x 12 -(22-05 )= cash right
Did you end up getting your scouse in the ship and mitre? One of my favourite pubs 😊
Ye
You should do a walk from otterspool to the docks it's a really nice walk
Kitchen's closing early is so annoying, and quite common unfortunately. The good places win out eventually and there are plenty of them. Castle Street, HArdman Street, Hope Street, Bold Street, Lark Lane, Hanover Street, Liverpool One, Jamiaca Street.. Definitely do your research first though and check out trip advisor, it's usually a good inidcator. I would also advise any tourists not to stay in cheap accommodation on Bold Street, ever! Far too noisy and there are an abundance of hotels for the same price. Nice video anyway guys, hope you come back one day!
So bizarre seeing you in my city, don’t know if I will ever get used to this! :)
