Can't believe someone took the time to film the area I was born and grew up in. Thought the first reel brought back memories but this reel had Steer street school on it. The first school I ever went to I was born and lived at 1 Garabaldi terrace in the shadow of the water tower, I climbed half way up that tower to see the lifeboat at the top, got stuck and was helped down by the fire engine crew. My mate told me the boat was there to save people incase the tower burst and the water flooded Liverpool, he was 3 years older than me so it must have been true. There used to be a cut through between the corporation yard and Maggie Street baths that I used to use to get to Steer Street school if I was running late and missed the bell. I also used Grants Gardens as a shortcut to get to my nans house, she and my grandad lived in Cobden street. So many childhood memories coming back Can't thank you enough for uploading these videos.
In an hotel in France Dave, totally amazed when I connected to TH-cam this ciné of yours appeared. Excellent work and memories of you and Harry. Much love ❤xxx
Hi adman It's great to hear from people who lived in the areas of the vid.....it somehow makes it a lot more personal and helps to bring it all to life again. Glad you enjoyed it and Hughes St. ...you are correct in the assumptions of Churches in background and far distance shots. Have a great time over xmas to you and all your family. Dave
Born in mill Rd. Lived on Kenny. Went to Margie baths many times. Recall summer days going there with me mum and sister with other family members and friends. Walking through grants gardens a mass of colour of flowers. When I google it now it breaks my heart.

I also miss so much
I grew up and went to school in this area and lived there until 1981. Who shot this film and why?
If it wasn't for the cars I'd say this was the 1860s not the 1960s. Are any of these places left?
+gcfcos Not much really.......mostly bulldozed and modernized....it does look like a hundred years ago though...lol.........cheers.
+Dave Watson. I see some places are left like where ringo star was born, there's a couple of streets there but that seems about it
their are still few houses left by entrance to grants gardens margy st baths end
Does anyone remember the sweet shop in caird street she was called Mrs Upton and franks as well and the laundry at the bottom of caird street
brilliant can i share this please xx
of course you can....thanks for watching
I was 13 in 1965 and used to go to Anfield frequently, and the city centre of course I don't remember that Liverpool was a horrible as that
a time when people looked after their appearance everyone looks smart
