MYSTERY Of The Robin Hood Stone!

[@ScouseFarm]

I said 'Cup and Circle' but I meant 'Cup and Ring'. The link in the video description gives further information about these strange markings that are found on ancient rocks all over the planet. Thanks again to John for letting me know about this. Enjoy! 🌹

[@AdikiaMedia]

Great video mate once again 👍

[@ScouseFarm]

Thanks mate, really enjoyed filming this one and seeing a random stone at the side of a main road :)

[@561jeffkelly]

Excellent Vlog, I live 5 mins drive down the road in Cressington. My wife’s mum and dad lived in Grassendale and I have drove past that 100s of times. Never realised it might have been part of the park stones cause them stones have carvings on them. I’ll have to take a walk and look at this stone. Keep up the a great work

[@ScouseFarm]

Nice one Jeff, don't worry, I'll have a walk through Cressington at some point soon. Shame it wasn't today because it's gorgeous out there. Thanks for watching.

[@stephensmith4480]

I drive past that Road several times a week, I was in The Co- op facing The Greenhills this morning. I only live 5 mins around the corner in Aigburth and I have never noticed this at all. Nice one mate.

[@ScouseFarm]

Haha! Get over there and have a peep, that's hilarious but no different than me driving past things every day that I don't notice (the 1776 Milestone being one of them). Enjoy your adventure mate.

Growing up I used to live not far from there, just off Mather Avenue Liverpool 19, I know that stone well. Also not far from there, in the 80's, used to be the Allerton Supper Bar a great chippy, that made lovely chips, thick n soggy as I recall. Nice area of Liverpool and I miss it...

[@ScouseFarm]

Can't beat proper chippy chips, so good. Nice one, thanks for watching.

[@StevenHolmes-s3e]

Interesting video about the ancient stones! Thanks! They used to call that avenue: ‘Mother Booker Avenue’!!! No idea why? A video about Calderstones Park would be interesting?

[@ScouseFarm]

Can't think why they would call it that mate ;) Yep, I'll have a look at Calderstones and do a walk around one weekend. Thanks for watching.

[@irenedavo3768]

Never heard of this!

[@Nansen1981]

This is an example of when all Englishmen by law had to practice archery on the town green. This will be the stone they used to sharpen their arrow heads.

[@ScouseFarm]

Could very well be just that my friend. Maybe this was the Tesco Finest Stone and that's why Robin Hood trotted up this way to sharpen his arrows :) Thanks for watching, and thanks for the information.

[@morningstar3155]

Nice one

[@ScouseFarm]

Thanks morningstar, I really enjoyed filming this today, the weather was lovely (compared to some recent videos).

[@irenedavo3768]

My Mum told me Lions at St George’s Hall roared when Virgins walked past!

[@ScouseFarm]

They don't roar anymore then :)

Enjoyed this video- seeing something bit off the beaten track- you really tried to give a thorough description and history-I forgot to check the additional info you provided until I had already Google everything- so anyone reading this- check out the sites he has listed under more info-keep on doing what you are doing 💁‍♀️

[@ScouseFarm]

Tanks Pamm, glad you are enjoying seeing some of my City from over there in America.

[@KPP365]

How many more stones are like this in and around the city ? Great video 😊 Great info 👍

[@ScouseFarm]

I have no idea my friend, I know there are a few in Calderstones Park but I've not looked into it yet. I might go for a walk around there on a sunny day in Spring. Glad you enjoyed the video, have a read of the articles in the video description, those Cup and Ring carvings are fascinating.

There’s a rock in dunnigs bridge road with a plaque on it don’t know why tho

[@ScouseFarm]

@@francis3221 I'll do some digging (not under the rock though) :) Thanks for watching.

Halfway down the road heading towards Maghull it is mate 👍

My dad took me to look at it once I certainly don't recall it being there or being in a field it is interesting to think there where stoneage scousers.

[@ScouseFarm]

Haha, they'll never get rid of us mate. Every time period has a token Scouser somewhere :) Thanks for watching.

[@JohnMon72]

That would have been some trip from Nottingham to Liverpool to sharpen arrows, perhaps Robin Hood had a friend affording him discount at the Greenhills too. I’ve seen the movie where he arrives at the white cliffs of Dover at dawn and covers a distance exceeding two hundred miles to Nottingham before dusk…… assuming he employed the same mode of transport, the mere one hundred and thirty four miles to Liverpool would be viable with an overnight stay. Very interesting and informative, my grandfather showed me tat when he lived in the police houses in North Grove in the 1970s and I thought he was fooling me when he advised me that Robin Hood sharpened his arrows there, it was only when I took Terry to see it in or around 1995 that I read the plate on the base that I realised that he hadn’t invented the legend to entertain me and for his own amusement. Terry viewed the tale with the same contempt that I did. Another great video, thanks for sharing mate. 👍

[@ScouseFarm]

Nice one mate, I was made up to go down and film it after I read up on the Cup and Ring engravings, interesting stuff. Thanks again.

[@JohnMon72]

@ pleasure mate, I was fascinated by that as a young child, I haven’t seen if for years though, it’s exactly as I remembered it, but perhaps the railings were blue back then.

[@JohnMon72]

Sorry to hear about your Time Machine MOT failure, good job the Arriva Time Machine still runs as the number 8 & 9 bus, I used to drive that and travelled back thirty years a number of times daily. I knew the Bronze Age differed dependant upon where you are in the world, some places are yet to reach it and other places are heading back there….. 😂😂

[@UncleWigz]

As a armitage/armytage decendant I have storys of robin hood been a real man tied to the church and crown

[@ScouseFarm]

Lots of history to discover in our family trees, I don't know anything about the Robin Hood stories apart from watching the films. I'm sure it was fun to research, thanks for watching.

[@Nansen1981]

Oh and the reason there is nothing on the back is because it laid horizontal not vertical.

[@ScouseFarm]

Brilliant, nice one mate!

[@aliciadarcy1]

Those ugly railings need removing.

[@ScouseFarm]

Or maybe a lick of paint at least. Thanks for watching.

I'll get in there one day, thanks for watching.

[@SusanHansen-ed9cd]

Could they weed it now and again?? Do some basic maintenance 😮

[@ScouseFarm]

It's a common theme unfortunately Susan. A lot of the monuments in the places I've filmed are in poor condition. It costs nothing but a small amount of time and labour and a bag to put the rubbish/weeds in. Thanks for watching.

[@erlinggaratun6726]

Because they all spread out from the same point where they crossed into the middle east from africa.. It is not even mysterious. We are all relatives.

[@ScouseFarm]

Many cultures in history had absolutely no contact with others on opposite sides of the earth for many thousands of years. There are countless artifacts, drawings, religions, beliefs, that have similar or the same origin legends from ancient Russia and China, down to South America and what is now frozen Antarctica. 'If' a primitive species spread out from a single point (Africa) at the dawn of human existence, they did so as primitives and would not be capable of so much of what has been discovered. That is mysterious to me. Thanks for watching.
