PART 1 Liverpool-Everton 1965 unedited footage PART 1

I've just got my hands on a vhs copy of
full cine film used for "Music to my Years" and the "Liverpool 1965" which are the same videos but the latter had its sound removed for the BBC "Modern History" site.
A few of you had asked me in the past whether I had anymore more of the footage shown...I was convinced it was lost and replied as such...well the vhs tape was found in a storage box ..a copy of the full unedited cine
film is now ready....It's in two parts.

[@arthurashton7763]

I lived in Creswick st. 1945 to 1970. I use to go past the water works to Margaret St baths. It was a good area.plenty of laughs. Plenty of pubs. Good transport . I use to go the grafton. And the cabin to see the beatles. Our house was painted blue and white. We was everton supporters.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

I remember it all like it was yesterday ......Glad you liked it.

[@HinchyFilms]

I really do like this footage. It shows just how much Liverpool has developed over the years.

[@bikinibabes666]

So true. I loved the footage too.

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Thank you for bringing back so many forgotten memories, these areas were my stomping grounds as a nipper. I was born in Garabaldi terrace next to the waterworks and would roam all over the city unaccompanied and unafraid because everyone looked out for you, many a time I got lost and someone would take me to a policeman who would get me safely home. In some respects there was 'The good old days.

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

They where hard times but you new every one on the street. thanks for the the time travel, my long lost boyhood memories of Liverpool. My nan ran the Rydel St Pub in Anfield . As a lad many Football players paid a visit. 1961er thanks to the Photographer 🇦🇺👍

[@philodowd8080]

[@thomassneade]

I was 10 years old when this was filmed and used to live in Aber st....I would normally have been kicking a ball around in the street....I must have been call in for my tea...or maybe Dr Who was on the Telly !........Many, many thanks for the memories, Davlin !

[@MAXandROBBIE]

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Hi "hinchyfilms" I did'nt realiseyou might be familiar with the area. Glad you liked it ....it's a bit of history saved i suppose. BTW ..goodluck with your movies....I love those fruity ones.....hehe.....brilliant. Cheers Dave

[@propersplitbrainme]

Wow, that brings back some memories. Although I'm not from Liverpool my my is and my nan lived in Holbeck St off Priory Rd. Don't suppose there's any old photos of Russell St around are there, a great uncle had a chemist shop there.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Rob...I'm chuffed you enjoyed vid....I thought I'd lost that old footage forever. Dave

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

@scouseau Thanks for comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the visit to the past....goodluck in Ozzy.

[@garypovey41]

Great to find this, I was nine years old when this was filmed living in Caird street. I probably went to school with some of the kids. Whitefield rd and then Margret Street seniors. plus Margy Baths. Brings nice thoughts and tears to my eyes. would like to copy to disc to show my parents. So many good memories

[@mrjasondylan]

My Dad went to Margaret st school.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

krogs....thanks for viewing it....at least we can keep this part of history alive. Dave

[@nickrichmond1576]

Great footage Dave, My Mother was from this area, just after I was born we lived in Newland Street, before heading to the then new town Kirkby, in the fifties, as many families did. My Mothers is in her eighties now and enjoyed your footage, Im in my sixties now. I was pleased you where credited on the (NHS The Perfect Storm - Panorama), which showed your footage, I was watching it in my Mothers early on tonight, thought provoking documentary.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Nick Richmond Thanks Nick.....I forgot to watch doc but at least somebody did.....I'm really glad your Mum enjoyed it,this makes it all worthwhile.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

+Nick Richmond .....Thanks Nick.....glad you and your mum Mum got to watch it ...I hope it brought back memories for you......and thanks again for watching and comments........cheers!

[@stephensmith812]

I was brought up in the small part of Queens Road towards Breckfield Road. Recognised a lot of those streets and pubs - sadly too young to drink!

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Hi Steve....thanks for watching.....some great boozers indeed...hic!

[@johnd1224]

thaks for this so mahy memories i lived in china street off netherfield road so know most of what is here i the vid i have tears in my eyes ilove liverpool then and ilove it now i live in spain now and this makes me miss it even more its not perfect there but it will always always be home

[@homerfj1100]

Brought up in Salisbury Street then Ashfield Gardens tenements. I'm glad someone took the time in '65 to shoot the footage. I was 10. All of the older people filmed will be dead. Interesting that the bonfires of wood from the Victorian terraced houses would be anathema today. Built with Western Hemlock doors and Redwood flooring (cheap at the time) today it would all be reclaimed and sold for a good profit.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Hi "tinysstupidstunt25".....Delighted you enjoyed the old vid.....I know Dunkeld St.very well. Thanks for kind words. It's also great to hear from so many people from the Everton/lpool area.

[@johnd1224]

@krogsdamvej thanks for this it brings back so many memories i lived in china street of netherfield road and know most places shown i now live in spain and have tears in my eyes looking at this its not perfect there but willalways be HOME

[@BertAndSmokey]

Lived around the grapes all my life brill footage.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

susiehood.....Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Dave

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

@filthykafur Thanks for watching and I'm glad it brought back some memories.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

My pleasure and I'm glad you liked it. There is a free app for copying vids off utube... "Any video convertor".....then you can put on DVD ....hope it works for you...I use it all the time.

[@wolstenholme100]

Wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing. Is there any way of getting a copy please?

[@lutkeone]

This was the area my mum was from. She came back and i was born in Liverpool in 1965 in Walton Hosp

[@angelaknowles8189]

brilliant xx

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Evertonic...glad you liked it. Dave

[@BrentBowers]

intriguing!

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Yep..all gone...mostly. Thanks for nice comment.

[@johnblackburn9402]

Thanks for posting this video. My grandfather Jack Taylor was born at 15 St Chrysostom Street in 1908 but I could not find any record of this street in old maps of Liverpool until I saw it on your film at 2:38. On the 1898 map of Liverpool I can see Aubrey Street, Queens Road, and Whitefield Lane but there are two unnamed streets next to St Chrysostom Church. Can anyone tell me which one is St Chrysostom Street. His mother Fanny lived there possibly until the 1950s

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

adman...hi ..glad you liked it ....

[@buzzenald1]

Great stuff! I lived in Fishguard Street from '56 when I was born to '67 when the whole area was demolished. I remember going to Margaret Street baths every Saturday morning and St Chrysostom's church every Sunday.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Glad you enjoyed it buzz

[@peterhodgson8499]

Hey Buzz, where roughly was Fishguard Street? Would I be correct in saying that it was where Dobson Street now is? Thank you.

[@DianeMarie5930]

I've read about and seen pictures of Liverpool's bygone days but I think film captures it best.

[@mariegibson1346]

Oh my god enjoyed this i have just see my late grandma and her sisters, i lived in Deacon street. Hi Dave i believe you filmed this footage im wondering if we are related.

[@Auto2112Rush]

excellent clips,i used to live in aber street

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

This footage was taken by me and my brother.....

[@telboyynwa699]

2:30 I went to Butler Street School mid 60’s we did swimming lessons at Margaret Street Baths😊

[@Amarant88]

Hello there, just wondering who currently owns this footage?

[@doktoruzo]

Historically important footage. You can still see lots of bomb damage from the war, (bomb sites were fantastic adventure playgrounds for the kids). It looks a gloomy, deprived place but you still see the men in suits and ties as was the norm back them.

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

@johnd1224 I know what you mean....glad you watched it though as some things should not be forgotten. Best of luck in Spain

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

Will post to you later Len....hope all is well with you and family. Dave W

[@MrDaiseymay]

I've watched several films like these on you tube , but I've never seen anything of, or near, Portland St and Tatlock St, where my mother and her family lived till 1920. That's near St Silvester's Church.

[@haeleth7218]

Great footage. Quite shocking how there was still so much rubble 20 years after the end of WWII.

[@stephenlamb6813]

Some of the rubble would have been from the so-called "slum clearances" by the Council.

[@Amarant88]

Oh I see. I am currently a student working on documentary about an older lady who grew up in Liverpool during this period and the decade prior and I have been searching for archival footage from the time she was there. Just wondering if you would grant permission for me to use some of the footage in the documentary? (if we decided to use archival footage, still unsure at this stage).

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

everton1954......sounds like great memories for you....not familiar with the names though but the area yes indeed.

[@vonroon23]

Apart from the Water Tower, of which there are but glimpses, the only building still recognisable today is The Grapes pub. It's now used for accommodation. There is little or no evidence of wartime bombing in this film. The open spaces and rubble are caused by demolition to clear slums. I recall this area well as I lived nearby and went to school on Breckfield road South.

[@rupitamber6078]

Wow! My dad and mum had just moved to a bedsit on St Domingo Grove with a baby me

[@iangibson3762]

I lived in abbot Street off heyworth Street, lots of memories and all good

[@mavisehirBill]

know what ya mean John te memorys come flooding back i meself come from Arkwright st and used to go to Rosscommon st school ,we used to go to Margerate st for metlework it seamed a million miles away

[@Amarant88]

Hey mate, how would you liked to be accredited?

[@everton1954]

hi i lived in priory road at the top of st.georges hill then moved to st.georges heights in 1967 when our house was pulled down !!i was 13 at the time remember mitford st well had lots of mates there ! remember ritchie green ?? or the ackos?? the currys? the leas ?

[@mariamorrison4578]

My mum's parents were Doreen and William Lea. I remember visiting them here when I was a child. Fascinating looking back thanks

[@DaveWatson-davlin]

My lovely Aunt lived in St.Chrysostom St .....

[@StephanieandCamera]

Hello, could you get in touch? I'd like to speak to you about getting permission to use this footage for a BBC programme. Thanks very much, Stephanie

[@foolsreflection]

I am amazed how many victorian street lamps there were then. If that had been London they would probably have preserved them as historical features! Cobbled streets also look so much nicer and slow down the traffic so safer for kids. Lets dig the tarmac out and go back to cobbles on side streets!! Anyone agree?

[@mick5044]

boss vid this 12 years before i was born grew up in langsdale st then moved to st chrysostoms way off margaret st an it looked nothing like this !!!

[@lizkochanska1663]

I used to live in queens road opposite Harriet terrace went to st Michael's school in mill road
