Does anyone know the title for this music?

4-15 Goodison rd with Everton FC on the right, at the far end was a Pawn shop centre of picture.

Derek Hatton ordered All this Not because they were slums but because they HATED any thing victorian Then built these horrible building and tried to make Liverpool look like the old East Germany! Still nothing changes to day These people still support the same old socialism today proved while this thing Stamma is in Liverpool.

I often wonder if planners so hated old houses they were determined to sweep everything away rather demolishing the bad and renovating some of the better properties. My first housexwas a small terraced house in East Ham London. In terraced street like in film built 1908.. Now most in area are reroofed renovated and extended and sell for 500,000 pounds and are. Very sought after as family homes.

Have you anything of braemar street kirkdale liverpool 1960s

Glasgow's cultural development is similar to Glasgow's. Old buildings gone both affected by the potato famine in Ireland a lot of people also immigrated to America and elsewhere. Hard working people.

Another reset into modern banality.

Fantastic show

My grandparents were the last people to run The Justice (0.31 seconds into the video) in the early 70's. Some of my first memories were there. They were bankrupted due to a strike, had to leave and the pub ended. It sat serenely like a ship on the sea, wasteland all around us as everything else had been demolished and cleared.

Oh yeah. History is great, as long as you're not living in it of course. Overcrowding, freezing cold, damp, outside toilets, tin baths, coal fire in only one room, cockroaches, no NHS, a couple of world wars thrown in. A veritable paradise. If only we could get those days back. The fact is people didn't wake up one day and discover they were living in a slum. Families had existed, because it wasn't living in these slums for years as they got progressively worse. I'm old enough to remember living in them and I don't miss them one bit.

2.18 shows the end of Shaw St. where it meets Brunswick Rd. The white building on the left with the columns still exists.

Liverpool was full of derelict houses even into the seventies late seventies it's nostalgic but in reality it was not fit for purpose

hey Snellyboy,are you Tony Snell ,by any chance?,you must of gone through Tommy Whites a few times if you are.

Looked a bit like Tommy White Gardens then.

And @ 4.29 Houses either side of Alexander Pope square on Walton Lane, facing Stanley Park. The stood up to the late 60s, and if had been located in London would have been modernised

The large high view houses @ 3.34 were located at the lower end of Everton Valley I passed each morning on the 544 bus to work in the city centre in the mid 60s. Like others in Sackville Street and Shaw Street were once home to Liverpool's professional workers in Victorian times through to the 50s.

All those beautiful buildings.Left to rot and then demolished.

In some ways why are these old buildings destroyed. Yes i can see many are unsafe to live or work in & would be cheaper to rebuild But, many are also can be saved (salvageable) But, the TIGHTFISTED councils have them DEMOLISHED so they can have tgeir way on having these UGLY ULTRA modern ULTRA tiny so called houses that you can't even swing a mose in let alone a cat ( SORRY!!! animal lovers justva figure of speech) I personally HATE modern homes Always coated in REPULSIVE WHITE in almost every room Looks like the inside of a BLOODY IGLOO 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 What's wrong with making some renovations to a decent & safe standard to older buildings that do have MORE than two tiny so called bedrooms ( a basic 2 up & 2 down) whats wrong with doing those up with ROOMS OR LEG ROOM ( SPACE) these modern so called houses are built & with the VERY CHEAPEST!!!! materials they can use & then they ROB you of the highest rent they think they can getaway with for that 💩 I coukd go on but, i think you all know were it will end. So, i leave you to try to enjoy although great saddness aswell of this video shows of our GREAT CITY!!!! of yesteryear.

As the chap at the start of this showing said what a shame teachers of history werent as enthusiatic about it, what a differance it would have made to so many young scholars . A true & nothing but the truth from a you better believe it ! Liiverpudlian 😊 .

wow it took me back to when I was young and some of these building was there 1974 just saying peace from spain

The first pic is Goodison park

3:26 Soho street

My dad was born in Hopwood street in 1911 he went back to visit there in later life but had been pulled down still have one uncle and cousins I Liverpool there next door neighbours I believe we're the O'sheas

I think we feel nostalgic because we can't ever return and a part of ourselves is left behind there.

Some of those houses were unfit for human habitation. Prefabs were still very good housing. Unfortunately what they were replaced with were often just as bad. For example mainsonettes. T'he blocks of flats were torn down later. Nowhere to dry your clothes led to mould in rooms. No way for furniture to be taken into rooms e.g. wardrobes in bedrooms. The designers (no they were not architects) admitted they had not thought of these things.

I love the pool wouldn't live anywhere else but looking at the pics brings sadness the streets played on and houses lived in by people no longer exist just memories left of what we done and did together because now it's all gone

Have fond memories of the 1950 docklands, where I was born, lots of good people but by the time I was 10, I knew education was the only way I could create a good life for myself. Eventually got my degree and jumped on the next plane to Australia, pure heaven, beautiful life. Yes, some nostalgia remains in this old man but it doesn't hide the facts of those times. Nothing stands still.

It’s easy to be nostalgic but some of those buildings were falling down. Poor quality shattered brick, insufficient foundations, rot, subsidence, damp, poor build quality. Some time ago a comment was made about Liverpool 1 but that was built on an area that had been devastated in the blitz. Unfortunately some buildings simply crumbled away because the owners were absent. The council was unable to do anything about them at one time. I am pleased these photos exist. It is such a historic record.

My mum and dad came here after ww2. shortly after it was Canada here we come. I'll always thank them for that.

👍❤️

Liverpool City Council did more damage to the heart and sole of Liverpool than Hitler’s bombs ever could. 😡

A great video.

To be quite honest these old houses were in a terrible state and were slums. Who would really wish to live in a house which was dark and cramped inside with no bathroom and a toilet in the yard? The city planners should have replaced these with decent low density housing instead of those monstrous huge tower blocks.

Agreed with those who, with hindsight, see totally unnecessary destruction of communities (who had no say whatsoever). I've seen 2 up 2 down terraces in Dublin, London, Cheshire, Lancashire reaching over £250,000. Totally restored, of course. Why couldn't those thousands of terraced houses have been completely modernised instead of being demolished and replaced?. Why were some areas left alone to be gathered up by Housing Associations?.

Freemason temple.

All is change.

Professional Scouser,ha

Just to think that they tore down some of the most beautiful buildings and in their place put up crime factories in the skies in their place. Nothing short of vandalism and short sightedness.

That's a bit provocative isn't it? Painting a church door red is bad enough but painting it red in Everton?!!

I was born and raised in stonewall st, of everton terrace. Lovely memories, poor but fine family and community. Many of the streets needed pulling down but many fine buildings could have been restored and the community kept together. We were moved to Croxteth.... thanks.

I'm looking for any photographs of Rockingham Street, a lot of my family lived down that street. I understand it was knocked down in the 60's? off Commercial Road, Kirkdale. I would love to see the street. I only have one photo of my grandparents outside the house.

A lot of great housing stock that just needing renovating. Would never happen today with private sector money

Some very thought provoking memories from this video, it is a pity there where no street names to enhance its enjoyment.

McVey Demolition. (And Daughter)

I was a Granada TV repairman in Liverpool 1 to 5 and each day I went into 10 houses or so. Netherfield Rd. Scotland road. Breck road. Tommy White and Gerard gardens were daily calls. The people were fantastic. I grew up in Speke. I don't know why they didn't knock down and rebuild in the same spot. They destroyed the communities. First pic is of Goodison Road.

They upped and moved whole communities to other areas. Everyone we knew gone. Great Homer street was our home and my playground. They gave no thought to the people involved. Such a huge and very painful memory.

Anyone remember the Obrien family from Tagus Street in the 40s 50s and 60s? Does anyone know if Tagus street appears in the clip? :)
