Thank you for bringing back so many forgotten memories, these areas were my stomping grounds as a nipper. I was born in Garabaldi terrace next to the waterworks and would roam all over the city unaccompanied and unafraid because everyone looked out for you, many a time I got lost and someone would take me to a policeman who would get me safely home. In some respects there was 'The good old days.
What a great film...I was 4 at the time and lived in Caird Street...I used to play in Grants Gardens and go to Margaret Street baths...for a bath!! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Cresta59 It's so great that you and your sis are on vid. I seem to collecting a good few "actors" from 60's. I'm so pleased you enjoyed seeing your past . I nearly lost all this footage but I've got lots of copies now....lol.
thanks a lot for having the nous to film that dave, really enjoyed it, i used to watch the artist frank green sketching in the 60's around there well done both of you !!
At 4-15 the Vauxhall Velox car in the picture of Mill Rd.is my first car I lived in 57 Mill Rd I have some great memories of Everton. thanks for the video.
Brought up in Salisbury Street then Ashfield Gardens tenements. I'm glad someone took the time in '65 to shoot the footage. I was 10. All of the older people filmed will be dead. Interesting that the bonfires of wood from the Victorian terraced houses would be anathema today. Built with Western Hemlock doors and Redwood flooring (cheap at the time) today it would all be reclaimed and sold for a good profit.
They where hard times but you new every one on the street. thanks for the the time travel, my long lost boyhood memories of Liverpool. My nan ran the Rydel St Pub in Anfield . As a lad many Football players paid a visit. 1961er thanks to the Photographer 🇦🇺👍
I lived in Creswick st. 1945 to 1970. I use to go past the water works to Margaret St baths. It was a good area.plenty of laughs. Plenty of pubs. Good transport . I use to go the grafton. And the cabin to see the beatles. Our house was painted blue and white. We was everton supporters.
Hi "tinysstupidstunt25".....Delighted you enjoyed the old vid.....I know Dunkeld St.very well. Thanks for kind words. It's also great to hear from so many people from the Everton/lpool area.
Fantastic footage. I used to live in Hughes Street. Both my sister and I turn up in this film !! Thank you so much for sharing it. It really has brought back floods of memories.
I was 10 years old when this was filmed and used to live in Aber st....I would normally have been kicking a ball around in the street....I must have been call in for my tea...or maybe Dr Who was on the Telly !........Many, many thanks for the memories, Davlin !
Hi "hinchyfilms" I did'nt realiseyou might be familiar with the area. Glad you liked it ....it's a bit of history saved i suppose. BTW ..goodluck with your movies....I love those fruity ones.....hehe.....brilliant. Cheers Dave
Wow, that brings back some memories. Although I'm not from Liverpool my my is and my nan lived in Holbeck St off Priory Rd. Don't suppose there's any old photos of Russell St around are there, a great uncle had a chemist shop there.
Great to find this, I was nine years old when this was filmed living in Caird street. I probably went to school with some of the kids. Whitefield rd and then Margret Street seniors. plus Margy Baths. Brings nice thoughts and tears to my eyes. would like to copy to disc to show my parents. So many good memories
@krogsdamvej thanks for this it brings back so many memories i lived in china street of netherfield road and know most places shown i now live in spain and have tears in my eyes looking at this its not perfect there but willalways be HOME
Great footage Dave, My Mother was from this area, just after I was born we lived in Newland Street, before heading to the then new town Kirkby, in the fifties, as many families did. My Mothers is in her eighties now and enjoyed your footage, Im in my sixties now. I was pleased you where credited on the (NHS The Perfect Storm - Panorama), which showed your footage, I was watching it in my Mothers early on tonight, thought provoking documentary.
+Nick Richmond .....Thanks Nick.....glad you and your mum Mum got to watch it ...I hope it brought back memories for you......and thanks again for watching and comments........cheers!
thaks for this so mahy memories i lived in china street off netherfield road so know most of what is here i the vid i have tears in my eyes ilove liverpool then and ilove it now i live in spain now and this makes me miss it even more its not perfect there but it will always always be home
Historically important footage. You can still see lots of bomb damage from the war, (bomb sites were fantastic adventure playgrounds for the kids). It looks a gloomy, deprived place but you still see the men in suits and ties as was the norm back them.
hi i lived in priory road at the top of st.georges hill then moved to st.georges heights in 1967 when our house was pulled down !!i was 13 at the time remember mitford st well had lots of mates there ! remember ritchie green ?? or the ackos?? the currys? the leas ?
Oh my god enjoyed this i have just see my late grandma and her sisters, i lived in Deacon street. Hi Dave i believe you filmed this footage im wondering if we are related.
My pleasure and I'm glad you liked it. There is a free app for copying vids off utube... "Any video convertor".....then you can put on DVD ....hope it works for you...I use it all the time.
Apart from the Water Tower, of which there are but glimpses, the only building still recognisable today is The Grapes pub. It's now used for accommodation. There is little or no evidence of wartime bombing in this film. The open spaces and rubble are caused by demolition to clear slums. I recall this area well as I lived nearby and went to school on Breckfield road South.
Great stuff! I lived in Fishguard Street from '56 when I was born to '67 when the whole area was demolished. I remember going to Margaret Street baths every Saturday morning and St Chrysostom's church every Sunday.
Thanks for posting this video. My grandfather Jack Taylor was born at 15 St Chrysostom Street in 1908 but I could not find any record of this street in old maps of Liverpool until I saw it on your film at 2:38. On the 1898 map of Liverpool I can see Aubrey Street, Queens Road, and Whitefield Lane but there are two unnamed streets next to St Chrysostom Church. Can anyone tell me which one is St Chrysostom Street. His mother Fanny lived there possibly until the 1950s
I've watched several films like these on you tube , but I've never seen anything of, or near, Portland St and Tatlock St, where my mother and her family lived till 1920. That's near St Silvester's Church.
know what ya mean John te memorys come flooding back i meself come from Arkwright st and used to go to Rosscommon st school ,we used to go to Margerate st for metlework it seamed a million miles away
I am amazed how many victorian street lamps there were then. If that had been London they would probably have preserved them as historical features! Cobbled streets also look so much nicer and slow down the traffic so safer for kids. Lets dig the tarmac out and go back to cobbles on side streets!! Anyone agree?
Oh I see. I am currently a student working on documentary about an older lady who grew up in Liverpool during this period and the decade prior and I have been searching for archival footage from the time she was there. Just wondering if you would grant permission for me to use some of the footage in the documentary? (if we decided to use archival footage, still unsure at this stage).

My Dad went to Margaret st school.
I was brought up in the small part of Queens Road towards Breckfield Road. Recognised a lot of those streets and pubs - sadly too young to drink!

Thank you for sharing this.
I've read about and seen pictures of Liverpool's bygone days but I think film captures it best.

2:30 I went to Butler Street School mid 60’s we did swimming lessons at Margaret Street Baths😊
Great stuff! I lived in Fishguard Street from '56 when I was born to '67 when the whole area was demolished. I remember going to Margaret Street baths every Saturday morning and St Chrysostom's church every Sunday.
Glad you enjoyed it buzz
Hey Buzz, where roughly was Fishguard Street?
Would I be correct in saying that it was where Dobson Street now is?
Thank you.
Wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing. Is there any way of getting a copy please?
Great footage. Quite shocking how there was still so much rubble 20 years after the end of WWII.
Some of the rubble would have been from the so-called "slum clearances" by the Council.
Really enjoyable Thank You
@johnd1224
I know what you mean....glad you watched it though as some things should not be forgotten.
Best of luck in Spain
