Hidden Histories of Liverpool - Episode 2

[@dorothykahn1975]

In the 1940s during rationing my mother regularly received an extra ration of cold cuts, usually pressed veal, from the owners of a german pork butchers. This was given in honor of her mother who, in 1915, had saved the shop and the family from a lynch mob. My grandmother's gallantry went to feed me as a child.

Fabulous series. I have learned so much about my home city. I was raised in Liverpool ( maghull) and knew none of this. Great presentation and editing

[@nyckhampson792]

Me to ...I went to school with Neil

[@clarksonbarry]

My family were from Scotland Road and I never knew any of this. My Granddad born over the shop. My local cafe was the Round Counter. My Favourite food - sausage roll !

[@stethepony]

Yo. Hello 'sausage' was a sort of joke/insult that me dad said when I was a kid. He grew up in Scotland Road and Kirkdale area so seen all that mayhem. Wow well done Dr. Bryce for your outstanding work. I hope this is shown in schools as part of History syllabus. Ye. X

[@illumencouk]

Having only watched the first 7 minutes it dawned on me, it's a sweepstake! We have to correctly predict or estimate 'How many times he says 'pork shop,' during the 26 minutes?' Ok lol, I'm so making this up as I go along. I never even got as far as getting shoes and socks off,

[@dinnerwithfranklin2451]

Excellent show, thank you.

[@tonyphilbin197]

I enjoyed this documentary, I’ve actually read that book. It seems to me something that starts with commendable outrage turns into mob violence. The actual sinking of the Lusitania holds a lot of secrets, to which somebody more informed than I could shed more light upon.

[@kdlofty]

My dad was from scotty road, taylor street. St Anthony's was his primary school and church, high school was roscommon street. Surname was Loftus.

[@helentucker6407]

[@gilliandaniels7037]

I'm sorry that I've only just come across your you tube channel, I was brought up in Everton and my late father was born on scottie Road yet I never knew any of this. Thank you for sharing

[@ianclarke5404]

Same here ,born in Everton dad born netherfield rd. No idea a ought this. Have heard of the 1911 strike . Churchill admiral of the fleet ordered the navy to point its guns at the city and heavily rumoured he withdrew the protection convoy for the lusitania in the hope if sunk it would bring America into the war

[@ericatkinson9285]

Same brought up in Rupert Grove off Rupert Lane _ do you remember Jimmy Maxwells newsagents on Heyworth Street Corner of Breck Road.

@23:37 the Liverpool Echo in those days was a broadsheet and you have that one you're reading from upside down .

[@noteverton]

You've got the Liverpool Echo upside down!

[@donaldfurrow8178]

My God! Dr. Evans is the sexiest man alive!

[@brendanmcgeoch4257]

23:25 Echo is upside down!!

[@marianshand4523]

Thank you for that. Will you be doing one about the History of Hartlepool? That is where my family are from.

[@thepofmeister]

Embarrassingly tho, the German Military did tell the transatlantic passenger liners NOT to transport American weapons to Britain, and we put our own people in peril by doing so. So war time craziness was just that. And then innocent people who have not done anything to contribute towards any harm to their communities or country of residence, get treated uttery disgracefully.

[@lliambunter]

You failed to mention that the German government advised people through cinemas and papers in warmongering America against sailing on the Lusitania because it was regarded as a military ship and there fore a legitimate target of course this was denied but later confirmed to be true, why was it sailing completely unescorted? against the captains concern?

[@mkalmachhoor4123]

Thank you Neil ,very interesting . I hope history does not repeat itself nowadays for us the arabs/muslims.

[@nikkijones4978]

Enjoyed these documentaries … but forget the upside down newspaper and random books.

[@nikkijones4978]

Reading a newspaper upside-down at 23:27 - Really??

[@nobbynoris]

"A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell!!!"

[@therespectedlex9794]

Women have the moral high ground, especially when they start riots. Can't blame a bird for smashing the fucking place up.

[@nobbynoris]
