Losing a native community (in memory of Scotland Road)

- It used to be a thriving thoroughfare but Scotland Road's fortunes have dramatically changed in recent decades, but a new dawn could be about to begin as its final pub sells up. We mark the passing of this #Liverpool community.

My Mum and dad were brought up here in the 1930's. Great place to live and a great community. Different generation now. Young adults don't go to Pubs anymore or have any sense of community, all very selfish these days.
Yes thats true, I think maybe other drugs are preferred?
I worked down Scotland Rd in The early 80s and have had many a pint in The Throstle's. Also the Green Man looking rather forlorn, gone now i'm afraid, I remember having a lunchtime pint in there when I was a Young Apprentice in The 70s. They were always lovely people around there, I am from The South end myself.
You want to see Edge Hill and Wavertree Rd it's gone 😢 all the people I grew up with have been scattered. There are hardly any buildings from my childhood left all the shops and pubs are closed and I'd be lucky to bump into anyone I know when I go through there. Were we had a thriving community and everyone knew each other it was destroyed by successive councils and planners hell bent on improvements and ignoring the wishes of the residents.
They forget about the communities and what they meant to people as they bulldoze history away , very sad
Tragic, Glasgow has been doing this since the 1960s
Yes this is a trend in big cities, vibrant communities get stiffed
Tried to put my point of view over several times, but you won’t put it on why don’t you want the truth
Those Pubs legally stole of the people hard earnings Evil and destructive
The English rose near woolton is the same turned it into a cookhouse and destroyed a once thriving community pub 😞
Total nonsense how can the Irish be indigenous to Liverpool
Pure fantasy. Scotty was famously all about Irish immigrants and their descendants. Learn what words mean before you use them. There is no such thing as an 'indigenous' Scouser, the very idea is an oxymoron. Liverpool was built on immigration and emigration. I was born off Scotty. Stop spreading what is potentially dangerous misinformation.
One could argue that there was not a community before the Irish came in their thousands and stayed in this particular area and such became the indigenous community. One detects an extreme lefty chip on your shoulder.
@@pcmjpcmj6854 one could, but one would lose. One detects quite an ignorant but confident shit-stirring prat, who knows very little about social history in that area.
@@pcmjpcmj6854 One could but one would be made to look very silly by someone who knows what they are talking about AND has very large lefty chips on each shoulder. Lefty chips are a birthright of living in that area. Check your history and look at the time Churchill ordered navy gunships to train their 14" guns on us in 1911. To refer to someone from that area as 'lefty' is tantamount to referring to an African as 'darky', .. and suddenly your true colours are revealed.
@@pcmjpcmj6854 In the 1920s, the MP for Liverpool Scotland (ie this area) was an Irish nationalist. The locals literally voted for an MP from a foreign and militantly anti-British party. How such a population could be described as "indigenous" is beyond me.
