getting a drink in Liverpool's roughest area!

I walk around Toxteth in Liverpool in search of a dingy pub. I get down the rough back streets where there are rows of terraced houses with metal doors and windows along with littered streets!

I recently found a cost of living comparisons website and it directly compared average wages and average rents as well as average food prices and bills etc in two countries head to head. And in countries like Denmark average wages were a lot higher. Average rents were a lot lower. And overall more food was cheaper and bills were typically less. It blows my mind that so many people want to stay here when they are been diddled

were h has just showed you within 10 minutes there is huge beautiful mansion houses

Racist nonsense. Toxteth has actually had money invested into it and new housing built. You cannot even spell correctly you racist bigot.

Just watched it 😀 yeah I bet on a weekend that pub is lively 😊 £4 a bit steep for a boozer like that, best pubs are the hull ones. Maybe you should do a pint in the pubs on a Saturday evening……….. all the signing and dancing with the regulars 🍺👍

Are all the regulars deaf or something? Why would they be signing?

[@robertwilliamUK]

the street you were walking up to buy the drink is Smithdown Rd. If you want 24hr booze there's at least 2 places. Lots of redevelopment taking place further down, past the greenery of the girls school away from the Camera view. It's the A562 if I remember right. Chaplin's is on Lodge Lane, you missed Manchester Supermarket oddly named walking past, and there's vibrance when it goes dark, with eateries and restaurants. Sefton Park is nearby, along with Princes Park, and along the Avenue (Princes) they've redeveloped to include Cycle Lanes in the centre of the urban green space inbetween 2 Avenues that form the Avenue and the Road, and that looks good! I think one side used to be richer than the other, Shipping Merchants houses that are collosal in size and often converted into Flats. Another side of L8 has The Florrie, and Apartment builds that encroach with the border of the City Centre, and Park Road, if you'd looked along North Hill, High Park and their continuations and perpendiculars down towards the River

I was talking to a fella from Myrtle Gardens, he asked where about in Toxy I'd lived, I went, Princes Av', an he goes, 'ooph It's rough round there innit.' - Ohhh we had a riot. The Chaplin is cool though, I like that they don't do cards as well, because it isn't half annoying when places don't accept cash.

[@JJ-Malone]

Oh I so miss those rough British streets lol. Reminds me of childhood.

[@Jrhynie]

Never heard of that pub but some pubs in and around the city were infamous. Eagle and Child in Huyton was one place that outsiders would give a wide birth. Fortunately most pubs in Liverpool are fine and the people will do you a good turn rather than a bad one.

[@philipleigh]

In a lot of these places there aren't many people around and it's not as if most of them are at work, so I wonder what they must be doing and when do they venture out?

[@honestplaces]

True

type in toxteth mansion houses there is plenty of wealth around there as well,doctors solicitors plus the uni is not far and very busy some houses well over the million mark

[@tonymcbrinn2217]

Not in work, most in the Pubs are pensioners, At 72 I still work .

[@user-em1ig7xo9d]

Just look at the shops and the shop keepers, gives you an idea of the new “locals”… and it’s no surprise the place now resembles a street from New Delhi. Funny how every UK city gets more crime, more dirty and more run down, the more of those “engineers and scientists” get imported into it.

Toxteth isn't rough or dangerous, try going into a pub in Kirkby or Huyton filming on a friday night.

I dont understand why the council dosnt do them old houses up and rent them out. Old buildings are better built then new ones.

[@honestplaces]

Exactly

[@michaelcattrell2407]

Errrrrrr because the budget has been completely slashed. 🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelcattrell2407]

You've seen a five minutes video. - spend a weekend in l8. You'll see real community. The council are skint though. Mayor Joe and his money laundering didn't help but it's up there with Birmingham as one of the poorest city councils in the country. 14 years of austerity. They did actually sell hundreds of houses off for £1 which have been done up. The Welsh streets have been done up. There is a lot of redevelopment and some areas of l8 have lovely grade 1 listed buildings going for well over a million and proper old traditional pubs.

[@JAMESYQ24]

It’s always a good idea to have some cash on you, I made it a habit to take 10 or 20 out everytime I see an ATM just to keep indoors, last time I lost my card it took them almost 3 weeks to get my new one and PIN sorted and I went from having money to buying packs of 28p rice with change because I couldn’t get my own money out.

My Dads side of the family used to live in an area close by to this back in the 60s and 70s. There would have been loads of kids out on the street playing back in those days. Completely gone down the toilet since then. Still, people from Liverpool are the most friendly you'll meet. They really would give you their last £10 without a thought.
