Your welcome. Where have you moved too?

[@henrygingercat]

@@simonsenliam Crowborough. I'm not entirely sure how or why but can offer no other excuse.

[@markkinnish1196]

Hi Liam went through Birkenhead today to go to Liverpool I see the house of fraiser building really starting to come down now at the back.

[@simonsenliam]

I know yeh probably would have got the drone up had it not crashed

[@Urban57621]

Love the strolling around Wirral content! We are lucky to have so many nice places to visit, even like Lpool & Chester city centres so close!

[@simonsenliam]

There's so much isn't there

[@marksimons4108]

​@@simonsenliamHave you been to the Yard(music venue) yet? that would be a good vlog a bit of music journalism with some great bands and djs!!

[@stevejones4275]

the architecture near rock park is world class.

[@simonsenliam]

It sure is, loads of history there too

[@TINGVELL]

[@simonsenliam]

Thanks mate, didn't go as planned but I'm happy with how it's turned out and the early performance of it. I've hurt my calf and I can't walk lol but soon as I can I'm thinking a liscard ways video.

[@MrPyadster]

[@simonsenliam]

@MrPyadster I've done Chester

[@martinvegas1327]

Built some in Middlesbrough just like them and near the water with a view of the Transporter bridge!

[@simonsenliam]

I might put Middlesbrough on my hit list

[@Andy_Byrne]

I spent a new year's eve when I was younger in the old blazing stump!!

[@simonsenliam]

Birko Park?

[@Andy_Byrne]

@@simonsenliam no mate, that pub on the Dock Road you looked at, was the Swan at one time then the blazing stump and went on fire lol

[@simonsenliam]

@Andy_Byrne ahhh it's always nice walking around there, even when it was in much worse condition

[@Andy_Byrne]

@simonsenliam what do you make of those new apartments, like lego?

[@simonsenliam]

@Andy_Byrne a bit yeh, I think they will be alright to live in tho especially when the area is finished

[@markkinnish1196]

Cheers Liam it’ll be interesting to see the changes as the development really gets going over the next few years. All the best

[@simonsenliam]

Thank you Mark. Yeh it's been unbelievably slow up to now

[@markkinnish1196]

Definitely Liam I’ll tell you another thing I like that disused Birkenhead Dock railway line think it’s one of the oldest that. So much history isn’t there on our own doorstep.

[@simonsenliam]

@markkinnish1196 there's so much that we have

[@markkinnish1196]

Wow Liam just been watching a KZbin clip of the Birkenhead dock line somewhere round by the docks on the disused line there’s even still one of the original signal boxes still standing that’s amazing. Hope you do a video along there at somepoint now that it’s all been cut back should be easier to go along. Looking forward to your content mate. All the best

[@simonsenliam]

@markkinnish1196 shoe me the clip

[@mkdavo]

Problem with those new builds on the waterfront is their proximity to sewage works, when they open their vents (often) the smell is overbearing , this development, sadly, is doomed.

[@cinnamongirl4896]

Your are correct, they stink!! I used to rent one in east float quay on the ground floor, the smell is so unbearable, I think it will most probably be just another white elephant.

[@simonsenliam]

@cinnamongirl4896 to be fair guys it's been cleaned up loads over the years. It use to really smell but now it's fine.

[@stevep9739]

@@simonsenliam Its not mate,sorry to disagree. The works are close by,the smell is dreadful in the morning when the kids get home from school and of a night 10pm onwards. The reason being people getting up to go the loo,the old Victorian sewers cant cope so back up,and when it does make the sewage works all at once it knocks the crust off and the smell is shocking and will be worse once these flats are built. Typical WBC,money first over consequence!

[@hamster-wh3ws]

Was this filmed today? (29/12/2023) I like it :)

[@simonsenliam]

21/12/23 mate, and thanks I've got a lot of similar content

[@martinvegas1327]

[@simonsenliam]

You know I've actually spoken to him about it. He said yehh. I'll dm him this message 😁

[@simonsenliam]

He's just responded. We'll sort it out January

[@martinvegas1327]

[@garyrigby21]

[@robleej_]

[@cyberman2601]

Brilliant video, am from Birkenhead myself, it's good to see a few people having interest in the forgotten town.

[@simonsenliam]

These actually a fair few ppl mate, I bump into people all the time who give me stories

[@G529-l3v]

Where are the schools & hospital spaces etc to support the extra housing.

[@simonsenliam]

Catch 22 mate there's a massive housing crisis at the moment

[@Krizzleswg]

Love the vids brudda. Done much round Liscard/Wallasey ways?

[@simonsenliam]

I have been meaning too

[@garyrigby21]

Birkenhead market could do with a clean up it's a sorry sight these days! i love Molly's Chambers been there twice now. Liam how do you fast? i need to lose weight myself to be honest i thought i'd lose weight when i stopped drinking but that didn't work it just made me eat more

[@simonsenliam]

Well in gaz you stuck around to the end. I would start focusing on eating in 6 hour windows each day. So if you start eating at 12 stop at 6pm, or 11 stop at 5. Then make sure you have at least 16 hours between the time you eat. Sleep counts as hours so get started when you can have a early night and a bit of a sleep in. Then don't eat breakfast when you wake you have a couple of really good hours of energy when you wake.

[@garyrigby21]

@@simonsenliam Cheers Liam, gonna try this

[@kevinlawes591]

Liam have you got a link to your cavo vid mate can't find it in your playlist cheers Kev! 👍

[@pauldonnelly3179]

Clifton road area is home to a fair few crack houses, probably the only growth industry in Birko atm

[@simonsenliam]

I believe so. I don't ever see them

[@stevep9739]

That's Holt Rd just before the Old house at home,Holt hill runs Diagonally opposite where the Queens pub was top of Green lane!

[@simonsenliam]

Oh. When did it go?

[@Edfc200]

[@gmatthews7632]

Being blessed by God mate!! 😅

[@simonsenliam]

Definitely

[@OH2023-cj9if]

The hotel set on fire by children from a local youth club, who also damaged Revolver by cammel lairds.

[@sharonhuesman1446]

my mother was from Birkenhead

[@cinnamongirl4896]

haaaaa!!!! are you actually joking! have you seen the migrant hotels, many have been placed in 4 star new build hotels with gyms and leisure facilities! look at the hotels they are in, in Heathrow, one of them is The Atrium Heathrow opposite the BA training site, rooms prior to the contract were £241 per night. So there is no way in hell, the old building of The Central hotel would be good enough!!! There is so much poverty in Merseyside, and I dont think migrants should be placed in such deprived areas personally. We have many children living in poverty already here, there are charities that are so over stretched and services are very much under funded. Well done for walking such a long distance in all that wind that day! I used to rent a ground floor apartment in East Float Quay on the docks, they are freezing flats tho no gas in the building, just tall upright heaters that dont really heat up very well. Its a cold and an expensive place to heat! wonder if the new builds you showed us will be warmer!

[@simonsenliam]

Maybe they could move the locals in freeing up houses? You know they would do it if they could. Well technically they are to a degree by moving Ukrainians to band a on the property pool, basically skipping the waiting list

[@pauldonnelly3179]

Yeah it’s a massive problem when you have locals waiting for housing and people come in and skip the queue … migrants awaiting asylum processing automatically get housing (hotels) and whilst processed asylum seekers or those waiting appeals don’t automatically get priority; in practicality they do as their circumstances usually mean they are classed as vulnerable & jump to the top of the list. I see a lot of tensions in Birkenhead already with the numbers of new arrivals and it’s going to get worse

[@TheWirral]

#2:01 i pull out behind you :)

[@simonsenliam]

Do you? I'll have a check in a bit

[@MrJoelalcasey1971]

Never mind refugees, should be for our homeless first and that's not being racist, I'm sick to death off people saying refugees welcome.
