So the Liverpool combined authority are using tax payer money (approx £17,000 000). Is this going to be another HS2 project which syphons up the money but never comes to frutiton? Major Steve Rotherham keeps talking about how the project will provide over 5000 jobs to the North West Region but I wonder how many of those jobs will be in the actual film industry or just servant jobs for minimum wage...

Since this footage was taken the deterioration in this area has accelerated massively. The slide into a slum area dominated by ''Turkish barbers' and a depressing myriad of similar immigrant run 'businesses' looks unstoppable, and is creeping ever closer to the once affluent Allerton Road, where almost every shop that comes available is turned into a tacky pub or 'restaurant' of sorts.

There's some rude parking going on around there. Doesn’t it make it difficult for none motorised or mobility vehicles to get past?

As a child I played around the quarry with my brothers and sisters.

Another great walking talking video that I enjoy watching. Glad to see you had a pint in my dads local the White Horse, he's been going there for 40 plus years and still a weekend regular now he's 88 years old. Thanks Jeff once again.

Haven't been there in years! Nice to watch this, might make a visit in the new year 👍

Sir Bob Paisley is also buried in St Peters Church Graveyard with his Wife, there Son Graham has been the Church Rector since the 1990s and still is.

Happy Christmas Jeff to you and your family . Thank you for your output in 2024. Your hard work is appreciated by all your loyal viewers and subscribers. Peace.

What year did you leave Kingsthorne Jeff?

million miles away from ringo house,,,

Great video Jeff this is a lovely place and gardens 👍

I’m from the U k and now live on Phillip island south east of Melbourne In 1906 the SS Speke was wrecked during a fierce Storm Now only some rustic metal work remain The beautiful figurehead was restored and is on display in Cowes our main town

Excellent Jeff. In past years I’ve visited the Hall twice but on both occasions it’s been closed!

Excellent video Jeff. Thank you for the tour. Cheers from Houston 🇺🇸✌️

Great video Jeff

Great update as always Jeff. Love Speke Hall used to go there a lot years ago. My gran loved the Speke Hall when she was still here she always said it was one of her favourites. If you don’t do another video before all the best to you and the family.

you missed a lot about garston baths and wash house i remember going in with my gran it was a shame when it closed

youu

I enjoyed that. I was Born in The Dingle and used to play all around the Dock Rd. It was so busy along there in those days and they were happy ones too.

Hi everyone i was born in Whitney Road Love this video brings back beautiful memories o my mum and dad and my brothers who have passed away me and my sister are left now and am the baby of are family am 58 now thank you for this beautiful video ❤xxx

Hi i was born in Whitney Road seen my old house

Shame.

Always thought Menlove Avenue was an amusing name, Lennon probably had a snigger about it😄 Nice upload, thank you👍

I can see both sides of the argument but the fact remains that we have already lost too many examples of 30s architecture.

Beautiful video as usual. In 1977 - 78 I lived on the corner of Vale Road and Menlove Avenue in a studio, part of an apartment block called Milman Court, which had like a below-ground car-park for the residents. I had my virtually new beautiful motorcycle stolen from being parked there, never to be recovered. I believe this block has since been demolished and replaced by a new red-brick one, though I don't know whether the old name has been retained. I do not recall the splendid woodland area shown in this video, but I do remember well the high-rise flats.

I grew up in vale road. The pond you refer to was nearer the south end of vale road opposite where the gardeners arms is and closer to where John Lennon lived. We used to play around there in the 50s and 60s. Interesting video brought back many good memories. Thank you

The beech trees look stunning. Amber, copper and emerald. Thank you.

Great video Jeff 👍

Enjoy your videos from NYC. Im a big Beatle fan from the beginning, spent a day in Liverpool, not nearly enough time. Just enough to get a quick glimpse at the important sites but need more time.

I go to Clatterbridge hospital next to the Royal. I have to walk through the Royal to get to Clatterbridge

Enjoyed that Jeff . Love your channel mate . We have had a similar journey, I was brought up in L7 Earle road Freeman st St Dunstans is on the corner . Then moved to Woolton at 14 years old . I’m a couple of years older than you 👍

Great update as always Jeff very interesting as always

Interesting video about ‘The Tip’. Just a little further up by the high-rise flats was ‘The Outhouse’ public art installation - another little piece of history that our far-sighted city fathers decided to demolish only last year.

Thank you xxx

Thanks for the videoa Jeff, always make me smile. Appreciate your work!

Hi Jeff, great video love looking at the before and after 👍

Spent many years walking up and down Church Road as I used to go to Bishop Martin, good times!

I always enjoy taking a break from my job in Tampa, FL and escaping for a bit while watching these fantastic videos. I’ve been to Liverpool 3 times (studied at Kings College in London ‘91-‘92) and never tire of English history or anything connected to the Beatles.

Coincidence, walked down there today, on my way to Tescos (stocking up on Baileys for xmas - on offer, £10 for a lt.).

I got the autograph of Billy Liddell (famous Liverpool FC player) who was coming out of St James Church in the early 60s. I attended the Congregational Church which was turned into an old folks home. Happy memories from those days! Great to see another video of Woolton. Thanks for posting this.

Great update as always Jeff

Love this video! I grew up around Woolton, and it’s amazing to see how you’ve captured both the past and present of the area.

Thanks Jeff just AMAZING sad no mention of the Silver Blades Ice rink where I was a regular skater. And I couldn’t see the Saddlery where I was a regular visitor in my youth in Lodge Lane but of course time changes things. Keep up the good work Jeff I envy you the ability to walk these distances good work, my 85 year old legs just about keeps me upright. Cheers 🍻

Great video, Jeff loves looking at the before and after photos 👍

Thanks for the update, Jeff's lot of work to be done with the development 👍

Hello John. My Grandma Mrs Ellen Burke lived at Rydal Mount. Corner Woolton St and Speke rd. Side entrance in WSt. had a pathway to individual back doors and yards. A shared communal garden. Which is now mostly car pk. On rhs of Woolton St towards the Cross there was a bakery/cake shop called Crow'(e)s. Old lady named Mrs Bond lived in next house to Grandma when I was very yng. My aunty Moll had that house from the 50s. Another Aunt retired, came back to Woolton from USA in mid 50s had another. The 4th house was aunty Josie MacDonald. They were my Dad, Philip's 3 sisters. There are steep steps upto front doors on Speke rd. Agd 84

I have lived in Woolton and nearby in the mid to late 70s. At the time there was a small Tesco store on Woolton Str. on the same side of the street as the Elephant pub, and another small supermarket of a different chain nearly opposite. Woolton vibes are so strong that they are still with me nearly 50 years on. Thanks for taking us back.

Doing a great job on Liverpool. Ynwa.

Me grandad used to live in Ducie street in the 70s , think it was number 8, house turned into flats or bedsits

Jeff many thanks mate 👍🫵🏻
