- Tony Robinson and the team delve into Liverpool's past, uncovering how the city catapulted itself onto the international trading stage. Reinvention and regeneration have created a mammoth building site, the trenches of which become the team's playground for unearthing clues to Liverpool's past
Thanx for posting, great stuff !
A Time Team I've never seen, excellent!🎉
Intresting ; no mass tourism local people shopping in comparison to now…
The biggest trade at that time was the Americas . They had to look for a place that was suitable . The logical places where
Ireland south and west coast . But then had the problem with transportation to Britain .
Dublin , same problem
Pembroke , too far south and west .
Liverpool was central , and built an equel spiders web of canals and roads to deliver its cargos .
Places like Manchester , Birmingham , Leeds probably wouldnt exist today but only for that trade . London was far more suitable for European trade . Birkenhead docks where huge also . Boats went up to as far as woodchurch . They blocked the river birket to build the dock system . The Birket is only a drainage river now off the floodlands , but was about half a mile wide at its peak . The M53 follows the old tidal floodland .
Amazing, only one Scouse voice in a programme about Liverpool. Surely more scousers should have been involved
Sir Thomas Johnson had plantations in the Caribbean, which he later gave to his son-in-law, who was already in shipping ( and I might have read, salt processing)
I'm curious about how water displacement by the ships affected the levels of the water in the dock area inside the locks.
I would have thought that was taken into account
@andybb You're right I'm sure. I'm just curious how it was done so that ships could stay at the level of the deck to unload the goods.
@@erinobrien8408 If you watch at 26:10 it will explain how it works
My father, currently 95 and going strong, grew up in Liverpool, and recalls going under the main street to see the cages with chains where the slaves were kept on their way to USA where I am now. A slice of history that get brushed under the rug.
I heard there was a local band that done good.
Damn good football team too!
I don't know why but... I'm hearing Gerry and the Pacemakers!
🎼 Ferry, 'cross the Mersey...
Don't forget the Beatles 🎶
Why not Birkenhead with natural harbour rather than Liverpool
no one liked wools even back then ;)
@keithskelhorne3993 took the words out of mouth lol
@keithskelhorne3993 Birkenhead had the Ship Building at Lairds with Harbour that many films & kids suggest we're of Liverpool rather than Wirral side. The Wirral has History going back to Romans, Vikings and Shio Building that scousers never had but pretend to
Birkenhead on The Wirral with Cammell Laird Ship Building where Liverpool built no ships since 1828

Poor Phil...He needs a Haircut and a Bath...
January 25th, 2025 was Phil's 75th birthday. Happy birthday Phil. Glad you are still with us.
Phil wouldn’t be Phil with a haircut and a bath!
@@edwardsullivan8041 Phil does not need a haircut and the man is fastidiously clean when he isn't digging trenches.
Awful program with awful editing and awful people
The music is so distracting and annoying
On the original TV show, the music isn't as prominent. I think they turned the music up to stop the automatic TH-cam copyright detection system
No, it's not that; a lot of the later episodes use that terrible, dramatic, fake 'pirates of the Caribbean' type incidental music that's so common in history documentaries today.
