I did a double take when I saw Liverpool on your thumbnail. You’ve shown off Liverpool, my home city, as well as any Liverpudlian would. Thank you and you’re welcome back anytime… Lad. 🙂
Beautifully done ! I'm a tour guide lecturer in the glorious city of Rouen, Normandy, and I find this video comes as close as it can get to a real tour, with an added value in the sounds and visuals. It was a nice walk in Liverpool and you managed to show its many faces and lives. Thank you for your many labours and efforts :)
Thank you so much for your kind words; that means a lot to me coming from a tour guide ☺️ Rouen is a beautiful city, I need to go back there. Thanks again and stay well.
@@simonpackham5780 Thanks ! Fortunately it was a small fire in the scaffoldings of the top of the spire. As everything is metal or fireproof the fire didn't spread. It lasted less than an hour.
Thank you Rob. I've enjoyed your London episodes so very much but as a "Scouser" I was delighted with your take on Liverpool. Very comprehensive and caught the flavour of the city. A couple of buildings that would have been worth adding would include the Philharmonic Hall, Philharmonic Pub and Bluecoat Chambers. All are interesting architecturally but I appreciate that you cannot cover everything. We'll done, I loved it.
I absolutely love this video! Thank you. I’m a 58 year old scouser and I really enjoyed your guided tour of the city. I’ll be sure to visit a couple of sites that I hadn’t known about like the bronze aged Robin Hood stone.. fascinating! Huge gratitude for showing our city with love and respect. ❤
As a 75 yr old scouser now living in Perth, Australia, I am so happy to see all my old streets and parks. Thank you x Also I worked amongst other places around city, at the Albert Dock x
Rob, that was absolutely amazing! I really think you have outdone yourself this time. With all these fascinating facts, stories and connections and fabulous buildings. And of course, The Beatles! Loved this trip around Liverpool, thank you.
I adore that you put clopping horses sound effect at the Brunswick Ramp. Gave me an instant smile and a real vision. Those touches are just one reason why I so love your channel! Bravo.
My mum as well, she told us she had been to dances when Ken Dodd was there as well but I don't think she ever spoke to him, he was about 3 years older than she was.
A first class documentary. I cannot comprehend why your views are not up into the hundreds of thousands. Your work is always consistently of the highest calibre and one of the very best channels on youtube. Hopefully like me more of your subscribers will share your content and get your channel more noticed.
I agree! I live only in Chester now, but I think this is the best videos around, showing our amazing city . So well done and informative. I send it world wide!🎉
Came across this by mistake, and lucky me. Liverpool is my home city and you have really gone into detail with your research and information. Great vid.
Thank you for the enchanting tour of Liverpool! I am amazed at all of the charming corners of the city. I think the World War II history is my favorite part. Thank you again Rob! I always look forward to your videos!🤗
Round of applause sir, that was absolutely fantastic. Depending what day you were there I may have passed you at Lime St Station, I work there. I never tire of coming through the cuttings each day, probably my favourite approach to any railway station. The Liver birds are called Bertie and Bella…Bella looks out to sea. Keep up the good work and I’ll be donating when pay day comes.
Such a lovely comment Karen, thank you so much ☺️ And now I know the names of the Liver Birds! Wish I could’ve included that! Thanks so much again and stay well.
Thank you Rob for an excellent video on my local city Liverpool. I love visiting London & I find your videos on our capital city very interesting & well researched. Thank you for showing what a great city Liverpool is, it has had very negative press & stereotypical views over the decades. Liverpool & the local area has so much to offer visitors. I’m pleased & proud of the city & local area, it’s friendly people & caring community spirit ❤️🇬🇧
Beautiful comment, thank you. Liverpool is a terrific city and its people are great- and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I’m always made to feel very welcome whenever I go there. Thanks again for the kind words and stay well.
Excellent. As an adopted Scouser who has also lived In London I appreciate seeing. the city from a different perspective. There is much more to Liverpool than the Beatles and football, as you show well.
I’ve never been to Liverpool, I’ve lived in London all my life but I’ve heard a lot about Liverpool. So it’s interesting to see such an informative programme on this city. And I appreciated the added extras that are not usually shown on regular TV programmes. Great! Thanks again Rob. I’d love to donate a bit of cash for your programs but money is so tight right now. Maybe I’ll be able to at some point. Really enjoying your films.
A remarkably clever look at my home city. Of course it covers some of the most known points but also much more with sensitivity and understanding. Great work
Thank you so much Steve. I’ve been really moved by the number of Liverpudlians who’ve discovered this video and left such kind comments. Love you and your city. Stay well and thanks again.
Thanks for the shots including The White Star! I found this pub in my student days at the University, now nearly 70 years ago, and fell in love with it. Every time I return to Liverpool I try to find time to go back to The White Star for a pint of draught Bass.
It is years since I had a pint of bass bitter. Up until a few years ago you could buy cans of shandy bass. Also the name Bass is the oldest brand name in Britain. On another note Lime Street railway station is the world's oldest main line station. Manchester Liverpool Road is the world's oldest station but it is not a main line one.
Thank you Rob, this is a fabulous insight into Liverpool, packed with fascinating information. You really do get down to the nitty gritty in your excellently researched work 🤗 Absolutely superb 👌👍
Hi Rob, your long lost Scouse twin here. Your Dad sent this to me this morning and I just wanted to say what a great watch it was. I’m looking forward to viewing some of your London content next. Thank you for a great video and I’ll hopefully see you at some point in the old man’s bar in the near future. Best wishes, Geoff.
Geoff! Thank you so much mate- really good to see you here. Hope you're keeping well? Your kind words mean a great deal to me, especially coming from a true Scouser. Much appreciated. Best wishes and hopefully we can have a beer at some point. Thanks again and Cheers ;-)
@@RobslondonYes thanks mate, everything is going well at my end. I’ll get a date in the diary for heading over so we can grab a beer and see what pubs are on your list for the next visit. Thanks again and speak soon 👍🏻
Great work Rob! My wife and I recently spent a few days in Liverpool and loved it - the Cavern and Liverpool Cathedral especially. So much more to see......
It's been great to know the history of Liverpool.The Albion house ,the titanic and other hollowed ships had a history with Liverpool, Liverpools role in world war 2 by setting sail of war ships is unforgettable,let's come to beetle,they had been famous ,various museums are worthwhile to see,the singer jhon lenon was iconic in his days,it's beautiful video
I am 68 and lived in Liverpool all my life but it is many years since I have seen some of these landmarks and ones that are new to me, I have many memories over the years but watching this brilliant video has made me nostalgic and I am going to visit all of these places with renewed interest!
As always, the professionalism and your genuine interest in the place shine through. Each and every video of yours is a glowing testament to you. Thank you.
loved this - robslondon is some of the best content on youtube: quirky, original and always interesting, this channel is a true standout! thanks, Rob, and keep it coming!!!
Oh ! Well done Rob ! This is so professional ! I really enjoyed your work on this presentation...even the sound effects were perfectly chosen 👍 Everything was so interesting and beautifully narrated. I did take a tour of Liverpool...and the thing I remember best was driving past 'Paddy's Wigwam' and seeing a bride in her wedding gown holding, instead of a bouquet, a decorated basket containg a full-size football 😂 Thank again for your meticulous work 👍
You really sold Liverpool to me, Rob! Always believed it to be a rather industrial and grey city, but you showed so many fascinating places and buildings. Next time I cross the North Sea I should pay a visit! 😊
Hi Rob, Hope you are keeping well, This was a fantastic video, Great photography and sound quality with a excellent script, Appreciate the work that goes into these videos, Thank you
Boss lad. Thanks for showing off some of our many attractions. I'm a scouser and recently showed my Asian bird most of the sites you covered. As a woolly, you did a great job highlighting what a fantastic city Liverpool is. Sound video
Thanks for the memories ❤ I worked in Liverpool city, before I lived there. Worked there on the intensive regeneration programme of the 1970's-80's. Later lived in the Georgian Quarter. Great job of presenting this unique, loveable City. Thank you from the US
@@Robslondon I’ve been there a few times relatively recently and I’m going next week for a gig. Ma boyles was always on the list for scouse but other pubs sidetracked me. So I’ll definitely go there after seeing it. I had scouse in the museum cafe once though and it wasnt half as good as ma boyles looked
Absolutely brilliant episode Rob! And great to see you out of the capital. I lived there for a brief time 30 years ago and loved it. The Williamson Caves are fascinating - labyrinths built for no reason whatsoever and Rodney Street that links the two Cathedrals - the ultra modern Catholic one being completed before the Anglican is a fascinating street with the Philharmonic pub.
Thanks so much Ian. I wanted to visit the caves but they weren’t open when I was there sadly. And expect to see the Philharmonic here at some point; I want to do a Liverpool pubs episode 😉
Fascinating video. Visied Liverpool several times but haven't been back for a while. Mainly went for The Beatles. Wish i went to the Slavery museum which i think is in the Albert Dock. The White Star is a great pub but my favourite is Ye Cracke just off Hope St. Excellent to see the carriage from the Dockers Umbrella. A fascinating museum for sure.
@@Robslondon Should have made time to visit the Williamson tunnels. Looks absolutely fascinating. Did manage John and Paul's houses and of course Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and The Beatles Story. The Philharmonic pub is absolutely incredible. Next time up, will see more non Beatles related places.
Wow! Another great video. I must take a trip to Liverpool! Had no idea about the connection to lobscouse, which I eat regularly. My father was a sailor, and he talked about Liverpool and supports Everton. Greetings from Norway. We call it Lapskaus. 😂
@@Robslondon Yes. And all through my childhood my father allways asked: is it Laps-Kaus or is it Lap-Skaus? Now you have given us the answer. I will tell him 😄
Does it make me a hopeless Beatles geek that I could recite each of their childhood addresses before you did? 😂 What a wonderful video this Sunday, thank you, Rob!
I've enjoyed your videos for a while now so I was happily surprised to see a video about my home city. You taught me a few things I didn't even know so great job on the research, as always. Its so good to see someone appreciate our lovely city. I am a huge Rivers of London (book series) fan which is partly why I started watching your videos, so as to learn about the real locations featured in the books (as I disabled and unable to travel that far). With the knowledge from your videos I can almost 'see' the scenes more vividly and its more real so thank you.
Thank you so much Tilly; your comment just made my evening 😊 I truly appreciate your kind words and am delighted I can help in some way. Thanks again- and thanks to Liverpool for making me feel so welcome! Stay well.
What a FANTASTIC video. I really enjoyed it. Re: Scouse stew, people made it as it was a very cheap meal to make. Great narration. Just a 100% delightful video. Thank you. Spoolbox.
I too was born and brought up in Liverpool but left when I was 21. Can I, like a great many other Liverpudlians, thank you for doing a wonderful job. As a young lad I used to visit my grandmother who lived close to Cains Brewery and to get there I walked up and then down Park Road at the bottom of which (near the church) stood a building which showed evidence of the Blitz. Lots of holes in the stonework around the door. Near the TA barracks on Aigburth Road there used to be bunkers for anti aircraft guns which we used to play in as kids. In a similar way to the Thames estuary, Liverpool had anti aircraft towers erected in the estuary of the Mersey.
Thank you so much for the kind words Ray, that means a lot to me coming from a born and bred Scouser. Really interesting comment too; I enjoyed reading it. Thanks again mate and stay well.
Brilliantly put together as always. I’m a big fan of Liverpool too, along with Bristol its one of my favourite cities. The scousers are dead friendly. There’s plenty of amazing pubs to explore too. I plan to make a visit over the next year or so, and will definitely use your video as it’s got so many places of interest that I’m unfamiliar with.🤓👍
Such a great comment, thank you! Bristol is a beautiful city... and I'm hoping to return to Liverpool at some point to make a video all about the pubs there ;-) Cheers and stay well.
Well done, Rob. You always do an amazing job. Thanks for the tip on the videos about the Queen's house in Greenwich and the Battersea power plant. They were very informative. We did visit the Queen's house, which is magnificent and went up the elevator in the power plant chimney - a great view of the area! Great in-depth history on both!!
Thank you so much, Rob! I never really knew anything about Liverpool. Now I think we should take a train from London and have a pint together when we get to Liverpool! 😉
Owing to family connections, I’ve visited Liverpool pretty much hundreds of times. I knew a lot of these stories but certainly learned a thing or two I didn’t know. Great video which made me super nostalgic to visit again as it’s been a while. One of my favourite places in the UK.
As a scouser I love people coming and exploring.great vlog, when you was at Eleanor rigby grave just behind at back of church is sir bob paisley’s grave lfc manager “3 European cups”And if you go to edge hill you can get into the tunnels that are beneath the park that lead to the docks, if you check it out there was an amazing tunnel entrance built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel ,also further back up railway is rainhill station where the trials was held and first ever passaenger train which the rocket won.Also the billy fury statue , did you no he lived opposite Paul McCartney in St John’s Wood London his house has blue plaque .If back up this way drop me line I’ll show you few sites you won’t no, Stuart sutcliffes grave,Freddy starrs grave .Also where hitler lived in toxteth with his step brother Laois in 1912/13 as art student.
Love this city - my home away from home! Was just over from Tampa & played the Cavern in late May/early June for IPO festival. Great video, ta muchly! Had a bowl of Scouse at Ma Egerton's - delish! Always stay at my mate's next to St. Michael's opposite Aigburth Road from Sefton Park & Lark Lane - big fan of pints down The Lodge...
Thanks for a great video Rob! I live on the Wirral (the other side of the Mersey) and I worked for many years in the Royal Liver Building in the 1970s. Your video taught me facts about Liverpool that I never knew, ‘til now! Many thanks!
Absolutely loved that, Rob. Thank you for such an upbeat and well researched video (like all of yours are) about a great city. This one also shows the outer wall of a building I have lived in, so thanks for that too.
One of my favourite buildings in Liverpool was the Cunard Hotel, which was shaped like a ship's bow. Word was that New York passengers could stay in a replica of their ship cabin before embarkation, and have the same room in the Big Apple as well. Loved what you've done here.x
You covered Liverpool really well Rob..Football, Mudic, Ships, Undeground, etc. some great old boozers in the City. One thing people don't know is that there is a 3rd Liver Bird. It's stands on Mersey Chambers nearby the Liver Bird Building. It has a wing missing and supposedly is the ' mother' of the other two. Brilliant video Rob 👍👏
Loved yet another of your videos Today I’ve watched 4 ,three about London and this one Liverpool is my favourite city in the UK Glasgow being a close second I have learnt a huge amount about London and Liverpool from those brilliant videos I’ve seen a lot of places in Liverpool but surprised by the amount of ones I haven’t Keep the content coming Many thanks Rob for this knowledge
@@Robslondon if you make an part two to this video, I wouldn’t mind if you look at the colderstones stones and the bilzed out beach at Cosby and formby!
An absolutely awesome documentary, miles better than anything on TV. Once again, thank you very much for all the hard work you put into making these documentaries. BTW the only time I visited Liverpool was to see Shonen Knife.
Thanks Rob, for an excellent video on Liverpool either London or Liverpool always full of interest including detail of boats, trains and buses. It ages me but i remember the Titfield Thunderbolt hitting the flee pit cinemas as they were known then at (Herne Hill). It finishes off my day nicely as I have wandering around the back streets and canals near St. Pancras. and other areas today. Your house are you back to normal ?
I was born in Everton- st domingo grove- and love that you did a little bit on it- rupert's tower. I grew up in Bootle/Seaforth though and as a youth we hung around the docks and would walk into Liverpool centre down Regent Rd, the dock road.Back then, mid to late 60s, it was a fascinating area with all the massive warehouses storing all manner of goods from around the world. I'm sure there was the largest under cover warehouse in the world somewhere there too, back then. Tate And Lyle had a massive sugar refinery along the dock road and the smell of molasses being refined was unreal, gorgeous and bread factories all over the place. There was a massive nut warehouse up the other end at Litherland/Seaforth where the workers would let us kids scavenge the floor area for dropped nuts off of the forklift trucks pallets, once the forkies had stopped moving around. There was a massive tug mounted floating crane- i think it was called Goliath or Mammoth or summat like that, nah Goliath i'm fairly sure, it was often moored up at, i think, the Huskisson dock area- a real engineering marvel. The smells sights and sounds were astonishing. There was no better place to be at midnight new years eve than the dock road. Massive ocean liners would berth up all lit up like Hollywood and blast their sirens and horns, let off fireworks and shine their floodlights up into the midnight sky and all across the Mersey. Magical place for us kids in the 60s living in Grove Street 50 yards from Gladstone dock....no, no better city than Larpool and i've been all over the world for the last 40 or so years tho the 'Pool has always been my earth, rock and soul
Another great video, thank you. In the last part of your video, you mentioned Sefton Park. You may be interested to know that Carol Molyneux, one of the sons of the Earl of Sefton, lived in the Red House in Bodicote, just outside Banbury, and within a mile of where I live. The house is now surrounded by 1960s housing and among the nearby roads are Molyneux Drive, Red House Road and Sefton Place, all with a link to Sefton Park in Liverpool.

I'm a scouser and recently showed my Asian bird most of the sites you covered. As a woolly, you did a great job highlighting what a fantastic city Liverpool is.
Sound video
That means a lot to me mate. Many thanks indeed; and thanks for watching; I really appreciate it. Cheers and stay well.
Thanks for the memories ❤ I worked in Liverpool city, before I lived there. Worked there on the intensive regeneration programme of the 1970's-80's. Later lived in the Georgian Quarter.
Great job of presenting this unique, loveable City. Thank you from the US
Wonderful comment Jen, thank you so much. And you did a great job 😉
@@Robslondon Many Thanks
I lived near Liverpool until I was 16. I only knew about 10 % of the subjects of this absorbing video, though. This is highly professional stuff.
Really appreciate than Jon, thank you. Hope you're keeping well.
Excellent video Rob, as a lover of history, architecture, engineering, railways and pop culture it ticked every box, thank you Sir 😊
Thank you Rob! Hope you're keeping well.
Another great video Rob. Visited a few times over the yrs, and always had a good visit.
Thank you so much Paul. Yes, it’s a great city isn’t it 😉
You must have been there for 4 months to film all that. Incredibly well researched.
Ha ha! Thank you... took four days ;-)
The FBI is still looking for you DB 😉
@@-DC- I’m hiding in plain sight 😎
@@Robslondon I’ve been there a few times relatively recently and I’m going next week for a gig. Ma boyles was always on the list for scouse but other pubs sidetracked me. So I’ll definitely go there after seeing it. I had scouse in the museum cafe once though and it wasnt half as good as ma boyles looked
🤣
Beautifully done! Amazing tour of Liverpool, thank you!
Thank you! Much appreciated 😄
I've watched several videos. You've got a fantastic voice for narration. Very appealing and easy to listen to. Clear and well paced.
That's so kind of you to say :-) Thank you, it means a lot to me.
Absolutely brilliant episode Rob! And great to see you out of the capital. I lived there for a brief time 30 years ago and loved it. The Williamson Caves are fascinating - labyrinths built for no reason whatsoever and Rodney Street that links the two Cathedrals - the ultra modern Catholic one being completed before the Anglican is a fascinating street with the Philharmonic pub.
Thanks so much Ian. I wanted to visit the caves but they weren’t open when I was there sadly. And expect to see the Philharmonic here at some point; I want to do a Liverpool pubs episode 😉
Fascinating video. Visied Liverpool several times but haven't been back for a while.
Mainly went for The Beatles. Wish i went to the Slavery museum which i think is in the Albert Dock.
The White Star is a great pub but my favourite is Ye Cracke just off Hope St.
Excellent to see the carriage from the Dockers Umbrella. A fascinating museum for sure.
Superb comment Maurice, thank you 😉
@@Robslondon Should have made time to visit the Williamson tunnels. Looks absolutely fascinating.
Did manage John and Paul's houses and of course Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and The Beatles Story.
The Philharmonic pub is absolutely incredible.
Next time up, will see more non Beatles related places.
Yeah, I wanted to see the Williamson Tunnels too but they have very limited opening times, I could get there unfortunately
Wow! Another great video. I must take a trip to Liverpool! Had no idea about the connection to lobscouse, which I eat regularly. My father was a sailor, and he talked about Liverpool and supports Everton. Greetings from Norway. We call it Lapskaus. 😂
Brilliant comment! Really interesting to hear about Lapskaus from a Norwegian friend of the channel! Cheers Ronny.
@@Robslondon Yes. And all through my childhood my father allways asked: is it Laps-Kaus or is it Lap-Skaus? Now you have given us the answer. I will tell him 😄
@@ronnyskaar3737 😀
One of your best my friend! A fantastic video filled with great information.
Thank you so much Patrick. Really appreciate that. Stay well.
Does it make me a hopeless Beatles geek that I could recite each of their childhood addresses before you did? 😂 What a wonderful video this Sunday, thank you, Rob!
Not at all ;-) Many thanks Pat and stay well.
I used to work behind the bar in the Aintree Institute. Probably not quite as geeky but a bit of a claim of a link to the Beatles.
As a resident of the city for 48 years this was fascinating. Cheers for a fantastic video with a lot of interesting information.
It’s a pleasure. Thanks so much for watching 😄
I've enjoyed your videos for a while now so I was happily surprised to see a video about my home city. You taught me a few things I didn't even know so great job on the research, as always. Its so good to see someone appreciate our lovely city.
I am a huge Rivers of London (book series) fan which is partly why I started watching your videos, so as to learn about the real locations featured in the books (as I disabled and unable to travel that far). With the knowledge from your videos I can almost 'see' the scenes more vividly and its more real so thank you.
Thank you so much Tilly; your comment just made my evening 😊 I truly appreciate your kind words and am delighted I can help in some way.
Thanks again- and thanks to Liverpool for making me feel so welcome! Stay well.
What a FANTASTIC video. I really enjoyed it. Re: Scouse stew, people made it as it was a very cheap meal to make. Great narration. Just a 100% delightful video. Thank you. Spoolbox.
Thank you so much Spoolbox, lovely comment 😄
I too was born and brought up in Liverpool but left when I was 21. Can I, like a great many other Liverpudlians, thank you for doing a wonderful job.
As a young lad I used to visit my grandmother who lived close to Cains Brewery and to get there I walked up and then down Park Road at the bottom of which (near the church) stood a building which showed evidence of the Blitz. Lots of holes in the stonework around the door. Near the TA barracks on Aigburth Road there used to be bunkers for anti aircraft guns which we used to play in as kids.
In a similar way to the Thames estuary, Liverpool had anti aircraft towers erected in the estuary of the Mersey.
Thank you so much for the kind words Ray, that means a lot to me coming from a born and bred Scouser.
Really interesting comment too; I enjoyed reading it. Thanks again mate and stay well.
Great and interesting sharing. I love it as always. Thanks Robert. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thank you as always Sharon 😊 Hope you’re keeping well
Thanks rob
Brilliantly put together as always. I’m a big fan of Liverpool too, along with Bristol its one of my favourite cities. The scousers are dead friendly. There’s plenty of amazing pubs to explore too. I plan to make a visit over the next year or so, and will definitely use your video as it’s got so many places of interest that I’m unfamiliar with.🤓👍
Such a great comment, thank you! Bristol is a beautiful city... and I'm hoping to return to Liverpool at some point to make a video all about the pubs there ;-) Cheers and stay well.
As always, an excellent production!
Thank you asheland :-)
@@Robslondon any time! 😊
Well done, Rob. You always do an amazing job. Thanks for the tip on the videos about the Queen's house in Greenwich and the Battersea power plant. They were very informative. We did visit the Queen's house, which is magnificent and went up the elevator in the power plant chimney - a great view of the area! Great in-depth history on both!!
Lovely comment! Many thanks for the kind words, glad to help 😄
Scouse? best I know of is to be had at Maggie Mays on Bold Street. Thank you for a brilliant romp through Liverpool.😃
Thanks! I'll have to give Maggie Mays a go; I have heard of it ;-)
Extremely enjoyable and as always, Thank You.
Many thanks indeed.
rob sterling work as always my friend great vlog and packed with information well done rob
Thanks so much Richard. Your constant support is very much appreciated my friend.
@@Robslondon rob its my pleasure my friend well done
Thank you so much, Rob! I never really knew anything about Liverpool. Now I think we should take a train from London and have a pint together when we get to Liverpool! 😉
😄🍻
Thanks for the superb video, Rob. Great to see a city I don't know getting your expert treatment! Loads of great facts there. I'll have to visit.
Really appreciate that Alex, thank you. And if you get the chance, do visit- it’s a brilliant place.
@@Robslondon Will do. It really looks stunning. My kind of place.
Excellent video! That Chinatown is underwhelming, but a potential goldmine because of the arch!
Thanks you much Toni!
Owing to family connections, I’ve visited Liverpool pretty much hundreds of times. I knew a lot of these stories but certainly learned a thing or two I didn’t know. Great video which made me super nostalgic to visit again as it’s been a while. One of my favourite places in the UK.
Thank you! Lovely comment
Takk!
Thank you so much Ronny! Much appreciated my friend.
Best documentary of Liverpool I’ve seen. Thank you
That means a lot to me Kenny, thank you.

Such a great comment, many thanks indeed! I was wondering how to get into the tunnel ;-) And how did I miss the Brunel structure?!
Another amazing and informative presentation, thank you.
It's a pleasure, thank you so much for watching.
Love this city - my home away from home! Was just over from Tampa & played the Cavern in late May/early June for IPO festival. Great video, ta muchly!
Had a bowl of Scouse at Ma Egerton's - delish! Always stay at my mate's next to St. Michael's opposite Aigburth Road from Sefton Park & Lark Lane - big fan of pints down The Lodge...
Such a great comment, thank you! 🤩
@@Robslondon you're welcome :-)
Thanks for a great video Rob! I live on the Wirral (the other side of the Mersey) and I worked for many years in the Royal Liver Building in the 1970s.
Your video taught me facts about Liverpool that I never knew, ‘til now!
Many thanks!
Thanks so much Steve 😄
Absolutely loved that, Rob. Thank you for such an upbeat and well researched video (like all of yours are) about a great city.
This one also shows the outer wall of a building I have lived in, so thanks for that too.
It’s a pleasure Graham, thanks for watching
Thoroughly enjoyable and informative video Rob, thank you. your videos just get better and better.
Thanks so much Slycockney ;-) Hope you're keeping well.
Well done Rob. A great video. A great example to others in its length, content and presentation. Thanks
I really appreciate that. Thank you so much yogibreen.
Yet another excellent and interesting video. Fantastic work and I can't wait for the next one!♥
Thank you so much Jentill, really kind of you to say 😀
Another great video 👍 I did a double take when I read Liverpool in the title
Ha ha! Thanks very much John ;-)
Brilliant, Rob!
I was rather taken aback to hear your London chimes then suddenly the Liver Building..! 😂
Ha ha! :-)
God bless you Brother❤. Loved seeing all the familiar places of my life.
It’s a pleasure Luke. Thanks for the kind words and blessings; hope the New Year goes well for you.
So many great memories of Liverpool. Thank you!
Thank you! ☺️
I love this! Thank you so much!
😄 It’s an absolute pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Much appreciated, thank you!! 🤩
One of my favourite buildings in Liverpool was the Cunard Hotel, which was shaped like a ship's bow. Word was that New York passengers could stay in a replica of their ship cabin before embarkation, and have the same room in the Big Apple as well.
Loved what you've done here.x
Thanks so much Hector- and that’s a great bit of trivia 😉 Cheers
Thanks for this great video! I have learned a few more interesting facts about my home city : )
Thanks David! Hope you’re keeping well up there 😉
You covered Liverpool really well Rob..Football, Mudic, Ships, Undeground, etc. some great old boozers in the City. One thing people don't know is that there is a 3rd Liver Bird. It's stands on Mersey Chambers nearby the Liver Bird Building. It has a wing missing and supposedly is the ' mother' of the other two. Brilliant video Rob 👍👏
Brilliant comment Dave, thank you. And I had no idea about the 3rd Liver Bird; fascinating! I’m planning a pubs special in Liverpool at some point 😉
@@Robslondon Philimonic, Peter Kavanagh, White Star, Roscoe Head, The Vines, Ship & Mitre, all classics🍺👍
🤩
Wonderful as always & very interesting a nice change of scene😂❤
Yep! Thanks so much 😉
Loved yet another of your videos
Today I’ve watched 4 ,three about London and this one
Liverpool is my favourite city in the UK
Glasgow being a close second
I have learnt a huge amount about London and Liverpool from those brilliant videos
I’ve seen a lot of places in Liverpool but surprised by the amount of ones I haven’t
Keep the content coming
Many thanks Rob for this knowledge
Lovely comment Douglas, thank you so much!
Liverpool and Glasgow I both love, I’m in Glasgow several times a year 😉
Thanks for watching and stay well
Thank you for looking at my home city.
It’s a pleasure, been wanting to do it for a long time. Thanks for making me feel so welcome ☺️
@@Robslondon if you make an part two to this video, I wouldn’t mind if you look at the colderstones stones and the bilzed out beach at Cosby and formby!
An absolutely awesome documentary, miles better than anything on TV. Once again, thank you very much for all the hard work you put into making these documentaries.
BTW the only time I visited Liverpool was to see Shonen Knife.
Thank you so much Jake, that’s really kind of you to say 😄
This is brilliant, a pleasure to watch. I always wondered what that pyramid shaped structure off of Rodney Street was!
Thank you so much 😄
Thanks Rob, for an excellent video on Liverpool either London or Liverpool always full of interest including detail of boats, trains and buses. It ages me but i remember the Titfield Thunderbolt hitting the flee pit cinemas as they were known then at (Herne Hill). It finishes off my day nicely as I have wandering around the back streets and canals near St. Pancras. and other areas today. Your house are you back to normal ?
Such a lovely comment Butch, thank you. Enjoyed reading your memories. And yes thanks, our place is almost back to normal 😉
I was born in Everton- st domingo grove- and love that you did a little bit on it- rupert's tower. I grew up in Bootle/Seaforth though and as a youth we hung around the docks and would walk into Liverpool centre down Regent Rd, the dock road.Back then, mid to late 60s, it was a fascinating area with all the massive warehouses storing all manner of goods from around the world. I'm sure there was the largest under cover warehouse in the world somewhere there too, back then. Tate And Lyle had a massive sugar refinery along the dock road and the smell of molasses being refined was unreal, gorgeous and bread factories all over the place. There was a massive nut warehouse up the other end at Litherland/Seaforth where the workers would let us kids scavenge the floor area for dropped nuts off of the forklift trucks pallets, once the forkies had stopped moving around.
There was a massive tug mounted floating crane- i think it was called Goliath or Mammoth or summat like that, nah Goliath i'm fairly sure, it was often moored up at, i think, the Huskisson dock area- a real engineering marvel.
The smells sights and sounds were astonishing. There was no better place to be at midnight new years eve than the dock road. Massive ocean liners would berth up all lit up like Hollywood and blast their sirens and horns, let off fireworks and shine their floodlights up into the midnight sky and all across the Mersey. Magical place for us kids in the 60s living in Grove Street 50 yards from Gladstone dock....no, no better city than Larpool and i've been all over the world for the last 40 or so years tho the 'Pool has always been my earth, rock and soul
This is, quite simply, a beautiful comment.
I really enjoyed reading your memories deepfryblue- very atmospheric. Thank you so much for sharing.
an absolutely fascinating departure from London!
Thank you Sarahlouise 😄
Another great video, thank you. In the last part of your video, you mentioned Sefton Park. You may be interested to know that Carol Molyneux, one of the sons of the Earl of Sefton, lived in the Red House in Bodicote, just outside Banbury, and within a mile of where I live. The house is now surrounded by 1960s housing and among the nearby roads are Molyneux Drive, Red House Road and Sefton Place, all with a link to Sefton Park in Liverpool.
Interesting! Thank you Sparky.
