call the POLICE Elizabeth Olsen says call the POLICE guys

We fell, we rebuilt. We didn't go scrounging to other countries. We were real refugees, but we stayed. Unlike these illegal immigrants coming here for the freebies

I'd rather live in a town or city that evolved naturally over time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

28th august 1940 ,Liverpool,

Shithole then, even bigger one now

Martin's Bank is in WATER Street - the Grasshopper - NOT 'locust' - was the symbol of the London based Martin's which was taken over by The Bank of Liverpool in 1918. It was the only national bank based outside of London.

Frank started off well crushing some of the myths. Then he created some of his own. 1) King john did NOT invent the name 'Liverpool' but the derivation of Lava/Lyver + Pool is correct. 2) The Pool was not situated in Old Haymarket, the creek of the pool did stretch along Paradise Street and Whitechapel but the pool was where we find 'Liverpool One' / Chavasse Park and the remains of the 'Salthouse Dock' under this development is the 'enclosed' pool. The Liverpool Castle overlooked the Pool the position being Derby Square. 3) There is no 'Roman Street Plan' in Liverpool - I have no idea what he thinks he means by this - the Seven Streets are a perfect example of medieaval street vernacular, they arose from the practical connection to the river led to the higher ground and then extended into the Moores properties from - Bank-Water Street to Dale Street and Chapel Streer extended to Tithebarn Street with a lane off the junction of these to their hall, as Old Hall Street. Castle Street led from this group to the pool and castle. 4) The wind through the 'wide Roman streets' blowing the plague away is nonsense, the plague was caused by rat fleas biting people and stopped at the level of the natural immunity of the reduced population. 5) Huskisson was not run over at Edge Hill Station , but a third of the way down the line at the then Parkside station near Newton le Willows, there is in fact a large monument on the embankment at that point to him. He was on the same train as Wellington and the trains on both tracks were heading to Manchester when there was a halt for boiler water. Huskisson, got off his carriage and ran forward to greet Wellington and was run over by the Rocket which was on the other track.

Heres the youtube premium i pay for

Very well done documentary. Today in society people complain too much. Look what people went through in the war for years not knowing if you were going to live each day or night, which one of your neighbours were going to get bombed or injured. This doc serves as a reminder to stay humble count your blessings even if they are few help thy neighbour too. RIP to all who perished 🙏

Amazing and Thank you. 100 years ago my family lived over the shop at Mile End on Scottie

lee scott sample anyone

Those responsible for the 60's hell scape that is Runcorn new town

I often wondered who totally screwed Runcorn up, here there are some faces. Loathe the ring road as a visitor. I still occasionally go to Runcorn Shopping City, its fascinating like going in a time bubble, I actually think it has a certain charm. Free parking!

That was brilliant. 👍 👍 👍

Grew up on Brookvale and went to “Brookvale comprehensive” school in the 70’s. Moved to Runcorn in 1975 and I remember it was all pretty new and clean and well looked after. Went back last week (September 2024) after having moved away for 40yrs and so so different. All the trees massively overgrown as back in the day they were mere small saplings. Many of the houses look rundown and a very different feel. I was saddened but grateful I was there when it was all new. I think things started changing in the early 80’s during the thatcher years and especially Shopping city, can’t believe what it’s like now. 🙁

Runcorn the worlds first 15 minute city,those flats didnt even last 25 yrs all demolished and houses built

Dno what year this was but it certainly wasn't a year ago. There are no immigrants or indigenous homeless in it.

I was born in Liverpool at the start of the war, my father had been called up quickly, because he had a driving licence, my mother had gone back to her mothers, ( nearer the docks ) because she was about to have me, how all mothers in Liverpool, not only survived, but fed us on very meagre rations, WITHOUT any social security or National health service. They were all wonderwomen

another great piece by Frank......this is Liverpool culture...take the booze from mathew street and whats left? nothing..

Thanks Frank for doing these videos: they will be part of history forever, I now know a lot more about LIverpool than I thought! If you fancy a pint sometime let me know; we used to be in the same class at SFX, it would be good to talk. Dave Hellier

The Shopping City is a hell hole. Shops all long gone nothing worth going there fore. Buckets all over the floors as ceiling leaks. You are stranded here as the escalaters are always bust. One was bust foe 2 years fixes & bust again. A hell of a staiway 3 layers of em to get to shopping level. Lifts always bust. Why dont they renew the filthy dirty escalaters that are permanently bust with new ones that dont bust every 2 minutes, The good bit is the library the staff are fantastic. Shopping City should be buldozed down its the worst hell hole I have ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or have to pass through. Bus services all axed on our South Side of the town just got the one bus now it arrives when it feels like. I am ashamed of the dreadful state of our shopping city/

1894 Battle of Omdurman - Winston Churchill was present as a young Officer.

i went into the irish centre for a meeting sad to see it in disrepair. such an iconic building.

Brilliant,learnt so much..👍👍

Just brillant ❤

People will do anything to get out of Liverpool

We went to the premiere. At the Odeon on London Road? I remember it because also in the audience were Sammy Lee and Willy Russell and the three of us had clearly bought the same tweed overcoat!!!

When I was a child I thought that that cathedral had been bombed during the war and that they were rebuilding it. I didn't know that it had never been fully built. I lived over on the other side of the river.

Most of us in the US only know Liverpool as the hometown of the Beatles. John Lennon got evacuated to Scotland to avoid the blitz, but Ringo Starr spent some time in bomb shelters as a baby. Paul McCartney and George Harrison were born after the blitz.

No mention of the ira bombs that were planted in 1939-40 in liverpool ?

I thought Great Howard Street was named after THE ONE AND ONLY HOWARD KENDALL....The Great Manager of EVERTON FC back in the 1980’s...💙...

I knew Dr. George Seymour Swan, ex Liverpool England. He was serving in Liverpool during World War Two, and received the King's commendation for his part in the rescue of Annie Done and Florence Bithell after the Well Lane bombing of 1941. He gave me an account of the event. He said that when Winston Churchhill visited Liverpool, he asked to see the two girls. His reply was "I'm sorry Sir, you can't see them". He said he got an autograph from him. Dr. Swan died at Sydney Australia in 1988 aged 92

Great this. I'm a red myself from a 50/50 family. This takes me back the great daus of 3pm kick offs when we we're all in thus together. When football was for the common working man. I shed a tear fir what we've lost.

i m going we re not finished YEAH but i m BORED

One of the greatest Eccleston performances of all time. This series remains as relevant today as it was in the 90s. Also, David Harewood doesn’t age.

Once again Frank you were wonderfully entertaining. I have learned so many amazing facts watching your series that are so well done. I will be very sorry when they come to an end. Many thanks for the time, effort and humour not to mention the content that you have put into the making of these videos. 😄😄😄

As always Frank another very enjoyable and fascinating video. You really are a wealth of knowledge.Many thanks. 😊😊😊

Thank you Frank for another fascinating video. I really enjoyed it. 😀😀😀

Thank you so very much for doing this video. It is so interesting. I was brought up in Liverpool and I am 76 years old. I left Liverpool when I was 18 to go abroad. I now live in Liverpool again. I have learned so many interesting facts that I didn’t know watching your first video. I am really looking forward to watching all the others. 😊😊😊

Frank Carlyle is such a knowledgeable, and Passionate Scouser his knowledge of Liverpool is captivating I've learnt so much of my home City through his enthralling Narrative....he's a Scouser through to the bone!...👍🏻

My Aunt Moved down to Windmill Hill in the early 80's and I still haven't figured out them damn expressways...

It was Churchill that sent the warship Antrim to attack Liverpool port workers in the early 1900,s strike,workers shot and baton charged by police on horse back,fuck him

Places like this can only thrive with a socialist government; unfortunately we've had decades of neoliberalism which puts the short term interests of large businesses first and sees public services as a way of corruptly transfer wealth from the public to the coffers of company directors and their pet politicians.

Actually this episode say more about dilution teachers who took up teaching as real dream for a better future compared to those who had see it as a pay packet wonderful script very thought provoking

Liverpools History is so fascinating....narrated by Frank, and those bloopers at the end are so funny 😂...How Frank, and Tony managed to get through filming is a miracle!...I couldn't stop laughing seeing Frank sitting on the toilet trying to talk serious (especially with Snelly lookin' at yer!)...🤣...great ending to a brilliant documentary...👍🏻

We've Just lost yosser hughes ya"ll ! r.i.p. Bernard Hill 😢❤🙏

thanks for uploading, missed it the first time around as I was only 12. Worth the 29 year wait!

anyone else get Clocking Off vibes from this? Few of the same actors and theme tune sounds similar! Think that may have been McGovern too. Does anyone know what school in Lpool it was filmed in, is it Calderstones?

haha it's Tinhead off Brookside with the dog and the girl playing Christopher Eccleston's oldest girl was also in Brookie playing Adele Murray's bestie Elizabeth Avis
