I love this place a lot. great video. I lived in Liverpool for 3 years in 2006-09, I used to walk alone around the city, travel end to end with a dayrider in arriva or stagecoach during my final days in liverpool. to see the last glimps before I packed to home INDIA. those last days in the city was tragic, romantic and adventerous. I hope I could come to the city again. great video DAV, tell me about urself and about the video.
Wow, that takes me back I could well have been one of the kids playing in that film. Great times, it may look grim, but the reality is that it was totally ace.I certainly wish I was back and I'd gladly forgo the luxuries of today, for the warmth and community of yesteryear. I'm a bit confused about the date though because the dome of Paddys Wigwam is clearly visible and I don't remember it being completed until about a year later. Anways thanks Davlin2 you've made my day.
What a wonderful video, showed Margerate street baths, i use to live in Everton around that time, would of been 4, what memories, thank you for sharing this video.
Great film !!!!!!!! Many thanks for sharing it. It really has brought back loads of memories. I used to live in Hughes street till '68, and went to Steers street infants, Whitefield rd Juniors and Prince Rupert Secondry. Why did they ever pull Margerate street Baths down ?
Memories! And everything looks so long ago (which of course, it was!) Husband & I have been in Scotland since 1978 & hardly been back to the 'pool since so everything in our memories hasn't changed much from this film! We weren't well off and had no 'mod-cons' but we had heart then.
@DianeMarie5930 .....I would'nt be surprised if there were still houses without bathrooms but not many. Mostly in the ealier years upto circa 1950's Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it. Dave
Gaskell scrapyard....lol.... Great to hear you enjoyed vid and the memories it brought back.. All the footage I had is on youtube.on my page....davlin2 Best wishes Dave
Great stuff. I too went to Steers Street in 1945-7, swam in Margaret Street Baths and went to a gala there in about 1945 and saw the local butcher, George Stober, pushed in! He had a shop in Everton Road. I also went to Plumpton Street Nursery School. Played in Grant Gardens when it still had a fountain, saw 'Bambi' at the Hippodrome, went to the The Cosy Cinema and lived in Fitzclarence Street. Can anyone tell me where to find pictures of that street? Really enjoyed the video, thanks.
Hello again davlin2 - is the shot at 0.17 of Everton Road coming from the direction of Grant Gardens? I've only just learned that the Gardens used to be known as the Necropolis, or graveyard. There's a spooky picture of it as it used to be on the inacityliving site! Thanks again for a great video. Kind regards.
Thanks for the memories! I grew up in Aber st until the age of 13 ish. 55 now but it only seems like yesterday that we were playing footy in the street! Tom. (or Tommy as I was refered to at the time)
thanks... sorry about even mentioning that you had put 'the blacks' as i should have realised it was just a bit of a slip of the tongue!! i hope you enjoy your visit when you do come...i lived away from the city for several yrs so now its like i'm a tourist again in my own hometown which is a little strange esp for my friends & family who think i'm a bit daft as i always want to go down by the albert dock/pier head way just to 'breathe all the city in' as i say LOL
Just had a look at google earth because I've never heard of Aber street or Phoebe Anne street and neither exist anymore, does anyone know where abouts they were?
goes without saying that the city is not proud of its links with the slave trade but it is something we have not tried to deny or shy away from either. it is something we acknowledge....after all... as the poet and philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
btw one of the best nights i had ever was yrs & yrs ago when myself & two friends were trying to find a party in granby (l'pool 8) we got lost & went in to a club there instead...it was quite small, very crowded with great music...we may well have been the only white girls in there & i have no idea what it was called but everyone was really nice to us though think they guessed we had kind of stumbled in to it!!
hi dufushead Yep you may be right tbe cine film was taken over a period of time so it is possible thetre maybe a time shift of a year. I know how you feel. Dave
we wos really posh cos we had a fully heated bath tub......yep by the fire downstairs....does'nt bear thinking about does it......lol. Thanks and keep well.
they where mainly used if you lived in rooms as the bahrooms wernt to hot , my mum used to take us, cause it was cleaner lol, still remember it lol. also you could do your washing their,
last comment to crackerass01 re the slave trade...i promise!! a couple of yrs ago liverpool commemorated the abolition of slavery in 1807. up until then there had been a permanent exhibition of the save trade @ the maritime museum in the albert dock. in 2007 this was expanded to form the new International Slavery Museum also based @ the albert dock. sorry had to delete duplicate posts!!
gayunderweather... yeah it'd probably have helped if we had been a little nearer to london...somehow i don't think the govt would have taken 20 yrs+ to provide funds to rebuild there..i remember it like this in the early 70's my nan had a pub on the dock rd we used to call them the bombdies...
i was born in 1966 moved out in 1972 we never had a bath or in side toilet thats why we had to move would have been better to modernise split the community up sending them all over the place
liverpool played a prominent part in the slave trade as you say b/c liverpool was THE main port serving the atlantic at the time of the slave trade. for the UK. i consider liverpool a multi cultural city & always have done...yes as in most cities most ethnic & minority groups settlled in certain parts of the city but he way you say 'the blacks'??? make me think you have a problem with black ppl yourself...
That's a load of shit.There is a huge black community here aswell as many other cultures. There aren't many national papers that like Liverpool anyway - probably something to do with the Toxteth riots in 1981 so please don't believe everything you read.
This is great, I was 7 in 1965, lived in the city centre near the Odeon Cinema and now livin in Germany, thanks for posting.
I love this place a lot. great video.

Makes me weep to think of how happy I was when we had nought and lived like this in Everton//

Where about was Aber street I just looked on google earth and it comes back as 0 results found
yes Aber St. is on vid.....just a couple of quick shots though you can also see the
Removals company at the top of the street in Mill rd.
glad you liked it ....
i was wondering if Aber Street was any of the streets in this clip??I lived there until 1969,i was also born in Mill Road Maternity Hospital.
My pleasure...I hope your Dad likes it.
Thanks
Dave

marvellous video!
I noticed a sign saying Public Baths. Were there still houses without bathrooms in 1965?
thanks for comment.....
My grandparents in Anfield died in 1970 without a bathroom.
Just had a look at google earth because I've never heard of Aber street or Phoebe Anne street and neither exist anymore, does anyone know where abouts they were?
Hi,
As anybody got anything about Higham Street Everton?
Pleased you liked vid....have a good life.
cheers Dave
