I was lucky enough to study Fine Art in liverpool in 1989, god bless the Cracke

I understand the area called Merseyside was created in 1974 and that before this year the area was simply part of Lancashire.

great film,old fella, my late brother myself,all time served caulker/boilermakers

The concerns of a Liverpool being depleted of people didn't actually play out. Patsie was right about communities changing, but they always do, it's just hard to know what they'll change into. The growth of car ownership did more to change the communities of Liverpool than the town planners ever did. People used to live near to where they worked but when you have a car, you can live in Kirkby or Prescot and work even further out. It's great seeing glimpses of those old squares and market stalls though.

U have shown a large beautiful cathedral Nice information about the same Wonderful video Thanks RK Dua New Delhi India

Born here in Liverpool..lived down south for a couple of years...couldn't wait to get back home... wouldn't want to be anywhere else...

I Went there several times in '77 and '78 as a 16/17 year old deckhand sailing on a Dutch coaster,i liked the pubs around the Docks a lot and the girls were nice and pretty,England was our favorite destination 🇫🇴

Didn't watch the whole video - but was Bishop Chavasse mentioned ? His son Captain Noel Chavasse VC and Bar. His Brother Bishop of Rochester.

Choose a bicep not me tricep Laaaa 💪🏿 no Diddy no Diddy.

Loved going there.

Liverpool was better than in 1971 ? I wonder..

He’s probably the only person to go viral and not make money from it 😂

Never been prouder to be Cestrian

Is this the first Cathedral the Anglicans actually built, rather than stealing them from the Roman Catholic Church?

John has just celebrated his 100th Birthday

Why at 1:01 is there a lady checking her phone and then answering it?

I think the bit on the slave trade was overdone: clearly Liverpool was one of the two key British ports (alongside Bristol) for the trade in the 18th century. However it’s a bit of a stretch to state a building built in the 1930’s was significantly funded by the profits of the slave trade abolished a century earlier - Liverpool was one of the worlds greatest ports long after the slave trade, it was perfectly likely to be a wealthy Liverpool merchant who’s great grandfather had been involved in the slave trade, who’s wealth was predominantly if not entirely from mid/late19th / early 20th century trade rather than inheritance from the napoleonic era slave ships.

Not wishing to cause controversy, but I’m not a fan of the video calling it “Liverpool Cathederal” and ignoring the Metropolitan Cathedral on the same street. Locally it is often called “The Anglican Cathedral” to differentiate. I think the piece is also neglecting to mention the catholic cathedral under construction was planned to be massive, beating multiple world records, and the chosen design of the Anglican cathederal was heavily motivated by a desire to match or exceed the Sir Edwin Lutyens metropolitan cathedral.

Liverpool my city! Is the only city in the world that has a much loved signature song about a "Lady Of Horizontal Entertainment". Beat that if you can?

Brilliant! A true historical archive. Riveting! Thanks

now its liverpoolistan 34 years later

Hows this man not been st*bbed

Ferry Across The Mersey...Ken Dodd and his Diddy Men ❤

The phrase Cliffs bloods red has always been etched in my head

Absolutely amazing. Nostalgia times 10. I'm walking through here being one of the people in the past. Love it 👍👍👍

I’ve believed this for decades.

..and then in 2024 ..full a wife beating working class pub dwellers , talking about football and visiting the betting shop.

When I was a teenager he used to walk around town and you’d always see him feeling muscles

I was born in Liverpool in 1946 about half a mile from this cathedral site in the diocese of The Sacred Heart. Coming from an Irish catholic family my religion was a major part of my early upbringing, I was expected to become an altar boy, and my grandmother, mother and aunt worked in the convent or the Sisters Of Mercy so I got more of an ear bashing about Catholasisim than most, maybe that has something to do with my atheism now. I could never get my head around being told I was never to set foot in the cathedral and I never did. Working outside the UK most of my working life, I was home on leave back in the 1990s and was boosing in town when I came upon the cathedral and decided to go inside and see it. This day blew me away I now go every time I am in Liverpool, for me It is the most beautiful building in the country, I stand in awe of the magnificence of this edifice but look at it more from a superb piece of engineering rather than a church although I treat it with all the reverence it is due.

Was at Southport jus a couple of weeks ago. Shocked by the decline. Fair wasn't open, the pier was shut......

7:40 Tiffany’s Thoughts. Ironically Clayton Squares frontman Denny Alexander (far right, barely in shot) later fronted The Thoughts

Not sure what's more depressing, that i'm not alive there or how it looks today

Stunning recollection of a Liverpool lost.

According to someone who commented this in a video made by ISATW he's a grim squeezer

The *MASSIVE* big *WOODEN FRONT DOORS* on the *CATHEDRAL* was a GIFT from *INDIA* and you can screw big spikes into the door to keep the *ELEPHANTS* away although sadly we didn't have any *ELEPHANTS in LIVERPOOL* at the time apart from my *MOTHER IN LAW* who I've got locked in my basement.But we BRITS used to love building *CHURCHES* I've got bloody 3 of them on my street alone and there's just no need for it and now old churches in the UK are getting converted into *APARTMENTS* because they can't even get 10 WORSHIPPERS through the doors and today's *RELIGION* to our youth is now *SOCIAL MEDIA* and I've not got a *RELIGIOUS* bone in my body myself but I think it still has a place in *ENGLAND/BRITAN*

No way is Mick 42 lol, looks about 75 WW2 veteran

I was there outside the Everyman waving my flag 10 years old...🎉🎉

Liverpool cathedral tower was base jumped in august 1991.

Love Liverpool.

We all have love Aki with salt fish 🇯🇲

Thin walls not enough insulation making them very cold to live in. Also the steel reinforcement was un treated also the concrete used was not waterproof this all came together causing concrete cancer caused by the steel rusting.

5:00 What's that shelter above the Roman shrine of Minerva? It isn't there now. Interesting that they emphasise King Edgar, the Anglo Saxon. He had his semi-mythical crowning, nearby, on the River Dee.

Honestly, if ye that paranoid abar taking A job on Saturday nights, why work it when you don't really have to ?

Christ I've watched kids shows presented more intelligently than this

Your da nicks gnomes

I don’t fear death. But I fear Purple Aki…

AMAZING TO SEE THIS FILM. IT’S JUST REMINDING ME NOT SO MUCH OLD BUILDINGS AS MUCH AS OLD COMMUNITY THAT EXISTED IN THOSE STREETS. AND AMAZING CHARACTERS LIKEBOB BENNETT, PETER WATSON, RONNIE’FISH N CHIPS, BERTIE CAPALDI’S ICE CREAM VAN, AND HIS SISTERS CAFE. AND SEEING PARTS OF BARRHEAD I NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

Good God, I know every footstep that Film shows with its "Tour of Barrhead"! I'm going back when I was Ten Year Old......1945. Little did I know then I would be Proprietor of the Arthurlie Inns, featured in the Film . I'll need to get a "copy film" for my Family Scrap Book! These days are so P{recipes and a great part go Barrhead's History.

I saw him in Glasgow, apparently he hops trains to all over the North. Couldn't believe my eyes, was with my mate and I threatened to drag him over to Aki, poor bloke bolted
