This railway was meant to be closed down in the eighties but with thatcher closures of the mines they started importing coal from Poland so the train you saw was bringing the coal from the docks to around wavertree and edgehill

Wow! Another fascinating video. Brilliant that mate. The balls of those railwaymen…… I believe when one of them was asked why he didn’t run away, he said he wouldn’t have been able to run far enough to a place of safety if any more were going to blow up, so he stayed and split the train, leaving the burning wagons where they stood so the fire couldn’t spread and cause the others to explode. 👍

My Nanna, Mum and Aunties all lived through the Blitz mate, they lived just off the bottom of Hill St, near the dock Rd. My Mum said it was a terrible and frightening time, something we, I am glad to say, can't comprehend. Another city that got hammered, that you don't often hear about, is Belfast. They too had the docks and a lot of heavy engineering factories, all vital to the War effort. One of the RAF Bases that was there was RAF Maze, it was the biggest one in Ireland and would later become the site of Long Kesh, the internment camp, used during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was then where the new prison was built HMP Maze, infamously known as The H Blocks.

Greetings from Paddy's house 😊 Great peace of local history. I wonder ? If like the docks, Their are any unexploded ordnance in these fields and other areas ? I bet their is .

Enjoyable watch thanks, I've seen another film I can't think of at the mo that left out Liverpool naming other city's. Ironically Basil was related to the Rathbones of Liverpool and I've read he often visited his uncle in Greenbank Park

Brilliant video, thanks. Turner Home is an amazing building. I had the honour of working there briefly for a couple of years from 2019. As Tony mentioned the attics are something else. I can confirm too, that it is a haunted location.

Barking dogs, screaming kids and now helicopters, give SF a break 😂 great video again mate, very informative 👏

Voice of terror 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I watch those films too. Really good video, very interesting

TOP DO WATERLOO OR LITTLE CROSBY

Great video mate, I was driving through there yesterday thinking about a video here I’m a regular at Albion Bake House 😂

No doubt that museum will be apartments soon,poll tax for profit for our kleptocratical council/councillors,they have ruined the town🤬

Thanks for the video, Tony! I think the pronunciation for Poitiers (if that is the word) is PWAH-tee-ay? The Bodleian or Gough Map is named after George Gough, a late medieval map of unknown date that was donated to the Bodleian Library in Oxford! That flat iron building in Prescott reminds me of a larger building in NYC that was also named ‘flat iron’ because of its shape! Trees again? Sorry! This time there are a few Lime trees (with smooth, light grey bark). Thanks again, mate!

Great video. We pop into the spoons in prescot now and again. This area has so much potential. Just past the flat iron ( the building you looked at ) are grave stones?? Is it a mystery ? I wonder if anyone knows why the graves appear to be isolated ? No church nearby ? I hope someone knows the answer?

Great Video. One to recommend covering would be the 'Sefton Mill' and Church area by what was called the Punch Bowl Pub, now called Eggo's. That would be interesting to cover

The theatre may be an eyesore on the outside but its amazing on rhe inside, its a copy of an original Shakespearean cockpit theatre.

Excellent vlog as always. That church dates back to the Crusades wow. I know why j was not used cause I remember learning this in school cause back then I and J was considered the same letter. When I worked out of lime st went through Prescot station loads. Keep up the great works

Great video SF ..i would like to have a Look around the Masonic Lodge hall ...

Super interesting mate, that was fascinating. Cock fighting continued there until fairly modern times….. there was a pub called the fusilier at the junction of Warrington Road and St Helens Road…… cocks frequently travelled from far and wide to participate in such there and I believe that is what lead to the revocation of the licence and ultimate closure. You’ve just proven that time travel is possible….. you’ve travelled back at least thirty years there. 👍 I hope you returned to give the busker something, broken fingers would have been best. 🤣🤣🤣

Nice Jail

I think it’s cold today!

I used to visit friends in Huyton back in the 50's and the story of the prison of war camps was well known but no one mentioned the concerns about some prisoners or internees living in the houses while some people were homeless because of the bombing of Liverpool.. thank you for the video and history.

An awesome video of an awesome place thank you.

A lovely tour of the famous Strawberry Fields and lots of history. The video was well worth watching thank you

What a wonderful transformation of the old houses in the Welsh Streets. I loved the house with the glass roof and the inside. thanks for the video.

One of the residents told me that the Museum has moved most of its articles to a new site in the Prescot Shopping Centre. It was a cold morning walking through the town but some of the old buildings are beautiful. I've left a link in the video description to the 'new' Prescot Museum and an article on the history of the town. Enjoy! 🌹

I've seen rose-ringed parakeets in both Sefton Park and Newsham park. In the summer I see them eating the pears from my neighbour's tree. There is an often repeated story that Britain's parakeets are the offspring of birds that escaped in the 1950s from the filming of The African Queen. That might be partially true for the flocks around London but doesn't explain the populations in city parks all across the country. The boring but probably true answer is they are escaped/released pets or pet shops getting rid of unwanted stock for one reason or another.

A very enjoyable walk around Strawberry Field on a lovely sunny day. I want to say a big thanks to the member of staff who joined me on my walk (she didn't want to go on camera so I'm not mentioning her name). If you haven't been before, get yourselves down and have a look in the cafe and shop for some Beatles memorabilia, and if you want, you can buy a ticket to take the full Guided Tour. Access to the cafe, shop, and garden area is FREE, and there's lots to see on site. If you wish to read up on the history, or get some further information on ticket prices (or how to make a donation), have a look at the links in the video description above. Enjoy 🌹

Brilliant place. Never knew it was like that. Will have to visit.

Great vid mate , very interesting. Been over it many times and never knew it had holes in 😮. Seen a clip of the water in Everton’s Stadium 🤭. Well done mate , not long for 1k now kid 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Infuriates me this. It's not Kirkdale, it's Vauxhall. Short history lesson. Boundary Street is the boundary between Liverpool & Kirkdale (before Liverpool expanded). North of the bridge is Kirkdale.

Another good video ScouseFarm , shame about the beatle contet though lol😎🤣 jk

Great video,Brougham terrace once known as St Brougham's(weddings)👏

Cracker that one mate. I used to drive past it on my way to visit family in Gateacre, there would always be tour buses there but that's the first time I have seen inside. I didn't realise there was so much going on there 👍👍

Thanks for all the filming and research you do. Great video and I enjoyed your journey on the 'long and winding road'! I do know about Orange amps but don't own one (have a small VOX one - like The Beatles used - amongst others). Hope you make 1000 subs by Christmas. Someone should snap you up for voiceovers! Laura (miles away but glad to be learning)

Just found your channel. Great vid. Subbed!

We love our Liverpool history! The trees were two of your favorites, mate - a large deciduous Wych Elm, also known as a Scots Elm; once very common in Northern England, and the ‘pine tree’ is a Monkey Puzzle tree! Remember that one? I also noticed many silver birch trees and beech trees! The visitor center reminds me of the center attached to the church at Daresbury where they have a dedication to Lewis Carroll the author of Alice in Wonderland; he was baptized in the church! They have a stained glass window with Alice and the Dodo bird! It’s really good to see that the people of Liverpool are supported by these initiatives! It’s a shame that many large manor houses in the UK were demolished over the years! Thanks for the video, mate! It was great!

Excellent Vlog, Just spoke to my Sister and told her about the Memorial stones. Our mum just passed last week and you have given us a fantastic idea and for £150 great way to celebrate her memory and donate to a good charity. Keep up the fantastic work you do.

Great video again mate how do you remember all the facts? Good luck getting to 1k subs!

Excellent Vlog My Grandparents lived across the road in the block of Flats Sheehan Heights back in the early to mid 80s. I would stay at weekends when I was 10-14 and fish right were that Bridge was. Keep up the Great work

Brilliant that, I’ve never been there. The Salvation Army turned me away when I was soaking wet aged 15 after my drunk “father” battered me and kicked me out in the middle of the night with no shoes or coat. I went to the Salvation Army Hostel on Prescot Road/Church Road in Stanley and they wouldn’t even let me in out of the rain because I had no money and wasn’t on benefits. I stayed in a dog kennel in an empty house for three days and nights…… charity hey? Thinking about it years later, I guess I was safer in the dog kennel. Hahaha.

Is there a more boring commemorative stone in the UK?

Fantastic video and information again mate 👏
