A touching tribute to our city. Being so close to it all my life, I often forget or lose perspective on its uniqueness and splendour. As a young woman I would shop on hot summer's afternoons, then retreat to the cool cloisters of the cathedral for relaxation. Would have been lovely to see the river as a working, busy fishing spot. I get the feeling the half of ampitheatre we now have on show had yet to be unearthed at the point the film was made. Lovely that the city remains largely unchanged almost a century on.

Oh so they were a little further than he thought 🙄 well , fuck them , let the other ship that is 4 hours away ! Try to save them , Let them try , what a complete cunt , should have been convicted

Stinks of piss

Thank you for posting this! My great great great grandfather was one of the original band of men william laird brought down from scotland to start the shipyard! Every man up until about the mid 1950s on that side worked there for a time, some went on to be sailors one drove the mersey ferry.

There's Chinatown in Somalia 🇸🇴❤

More to the point when did the police loose the lancer squadron?

Did you know Paul is an experienced drummer

Really enjoyed! Thanks for posting 👍

Respects

Great film

Moved from liverpool to skem in late 70s. Went to crow orchard and delphside schools if they still exist..shopping at concocurse. Left few years later and never been back but still have memories of the place.

Great film just the music is depressing for such a joyful place. In my opinion. Still thanks for the post

do you remember? i do

THE PILGRIMS and THE JOY STRINGS were great also

Love this! I was Miss Southport Rosebud 1973 (age 5) & won it in the Floral Hall rather than outside because it was raining. My nan lived in Southport & she entered me for the contest. There was a problem though. I was a Toy Boy & hated being preened, primped & put in pretty dresses. Today I am grey & on the wrong side of 50! Thank you for the memories x

What's happened to this Southport? My home town. Where i still live? It's still beautiful. But too overcrowded now and too many vacant shops and shut down pier. Bring back old Southport! Bring back the outdoor pool. Floral Hall and Theatre knocked down, businesses going bankrupt. My late Father would be so upset to see what it's become.

The very best of the best generation!

I lived in Windmill hill (part of Runcorn) it was great loved it., we where right next to a forest.

And today the council have made it a circus.

Great photos but ive never managed to see the big houses that where on the far side of the breck towards poulton

Candy man was based on purple Aki true story

Captain Lord reminds me of the US democrats, feigning stupidity ...

Purple Aki on More Plates More Dates podcast would be wild.

The astonishing thing is almost a century on virtually everything filmed in 1931 is still here, thanks to Listed Building legislation- and the fact it was not a target for the Luftwaffe in WW2. For this reason it was the HQ of western command in what is now the Queens Park campus of the university. What no one ever seems to recognise is that the city is the best place in the world to see arts and craft architecture.

Well Liverpool looked a nice place in 1958 ... Loverly houses .. some with telephone ,, Football clubs .. nice fashion .. all houses with a front garden .. training n helping out the milk deliveries .. .. where there NO slums in 1958 ... We never had a car or a telephone or a front garden . Looks like nothing has changed .. all B shit like todays Police ..

And look what we have now

Great documentary, my great great grandfather john kieran worked on the the docks in Liverpool in the late 19th century, great great grand mother jane kieran taught music for over 40 years .fascinating footage.

This is considered to be one of the oldest Chinese communities in Europe

I recognise some of the places on here. I'd love to know the rest of the locations of this film

Not to worry. Eleven years later the Police would GET their own BACK by sneaking into the background of the Beatles photograph on the Abbey Road cover.

My friend has a piece of this vessel

Such a beautiful place, absolutely massive.

Gone, but not forgotten.....

St lukes,i used to go to the Saturday discos there late 70s.moved 40 years ago🇩🇪born in liscard central. Memories

My great uncles best work,....

So sad the original Cavern destroyed. Paddy really has a front-row seat to music history. So great to see and hear the raw, live sound of the Mersey Beat. Ps did Pete Best show up at the reunion?!

My favourite is the end of this movie. Precious……and gone I am not British, do not live in Britain but have been visiting since times where the UK …….well…..was the UK and its Police to be trusted and respected. I just loved it. The country is now a dump and its police force a disgrace especially after what happened in July.

Fantastic - thank you! Love the quote “A city so old that antiquity is taken for granted. Shopkeepers seem to think nothing of supporting their shelves on a Roman column.”

Theres nothing of rock ferry on the vid , mate the fuck.

My family holds the record for the most salmon and trout in one net still to this day a Buckley from hand-bridge

I was a mere one year old when this was made, But what a great piece of old film, I have lost count on the times I have watched it .

Some1 call the cops cos this film is bogus!!

In the very first frame showing Broad Lane/Henlow Avenue,you can see me Ma's house.😂😂 PS. I should have said a few frames in,(with the woman in the headscarf walking down Gaywood Avenue.

Centre of the universe

Born in Liverpool 1961 left the shithole in 79 and never returned to the dump. Not missed

I remember Billy Connolly playing the Shamrock Celtic supporters club in Greenock for £16 a night when our band played there for £16.

Best documentary, better than the new 2023 KZbin version

Sick that the Tower burnt down, it’s now forgotten and yet just 60 years ago it was bigger than Blackpool’s.

My arl fella worked some of his plastering apprenticeship in the Anglican Cathedral, we kept having a go at him to sabotage the thing 😂😂😂
