As a Liverpool Tourist Guide I can only doff my cap to this excellent, informative and charmingly delivered walk and commentary. You could have enjoyed a £1.50 cuppa from the tea van by the Ferry Terminal, watch the world (and river) go by and it wouldn't have been long till you could have got a nice shot of the ferry arriving. It's one of my favourite spots after a tour. A few more still photo insertions would have been good, thinking in particular of a famous photo from WWII showing the Victoria statue with everything flattened in the Church Street background. But you can't have everything and what we had was very good. Thanks again.
I worked in one of the Three Graces for some years and have walked all of these streets at one time or another. Your tour is excellent and very informative - well done 👏. Makes me want to go back and do it all again 🤭.
I'VE JUST SPENT 80 MINUTES OF MY LIFE WATCHING AND LISTENING TO YOUR NARRATIVE VIDEO MATE AND GUESS WHAT IT HAS MADE ME MORE EXCITING TO WHEN I GET THERE NEXT MONTH,I WANT TO SEE IT ALL....THE CAVERN CLUB,THE TITANIC MEMORIAL,BILLY FURY AND BEATLES STATUES,MERSEYSIDE MARITIME MUSEUM,THE ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL,THE BOMBARDED CATHEDRAL TOO ! ...THE SHOPPING CENTRES TOO ! ,THE JOHN LEWIS BUILDING ! THE WHITE STAR BUILDING( WHERE EVEN IN THE BOTTOM ) OF THE OCEAN THE NAME OF ..LIVERPOOL !💖🙏💥🔥
Lovely Liverpool, amazing people, wonderful music. Whenever You mention sports, You only remember football: George Mallory and Andrew "Sandy" Irvine, tried to conquer the top of the world, Mount Everest, in June 1924, maybe they did it and they were the first, George was born in Mobberley, south of Manchester airport and Irvin in Birkenhead (where you can arrive in the Snowdrop crossing the Mersey), so the name of LIVERPOOL is in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean (stern of the Titanic) and perhaps in the highest point of the Earth.(They have a memorial in a stained glass window of Chester Cathedral) Thanks for the video, great work
YOU ARE SO RIGHT MATE,'I'M FROM LONDON,BUT I LOVE LIVERPOOL TOO,IF I WEREN'T A LONDONER I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE A SCOUSER,...A LIVERPUDLIAN !⚽💖👑🇬🇬🔥👏💖💖💖💖💖💥👍🥳🥳🥳⚽⚽⚽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
This was a very informative and entertaining video. My great-grandfather was born in Liverpool and I have always felt an affinity for the city, even though I live thousands of miles from it. I’m also a huge supporter of Liverpool FC! It was 80 minutes very well spent. I may never get to Liverpool itself, but I now know a lot more about this fascinating city.
Bold street is on hill .called rope walks .were you will see saint Luke's church .this was bombed in the second world war .Germany also hit kirdale station to try to stop food and resources they didn't win
Fabulous walk around Liverpool. How clean are the streets of Liverpool. I can’t remember seeing a single piece of litter. Well done Liverpool City council, its residents and visitors.
Really enjoyed the video. I was a Customs Officer in the 1970''s based in the Port of Liverpool Building. It was good to see so many of the places I knew so well in those days before I emigrated to New Zealand
Just back from a 2 day sightseeing trip to Liverpool. Had watched your video before going - bits of it twice - and followed almost all of your route (plus plenty more). An excellent way to get your bearings, and so much better than other tour vloggers on here where the focus is mainly on the ego of the guide, not the place they!re actually visiting. Thanks.
Great video about the fantastic city where I was born , but left over 30 years ago. I was last there about 10 years ago and even in that time the changes have been considerable, as it all seems to be pedestrianised! It sure is a unique place, for so many reasons whether historically, culturally and sporting. On the sportng side you mentioned Everton FC were last relegated in 1955 - this incorrect, it was 1951! The rest of the tour was brilliant, especially in 4K quality. I have just added my subscription.
What a fantastic walkabout video, i don't live in the city anymore, but this video along with the narration really made me feel at home again, Liverpool is a magnificant city today, thanks for sharing this with us.
I didn’t actually expect to watch this through. My home city. But I’m really glad I did and passed it on to family in the States. I learned more than I already knew. One of the things I saw at 8:45 which wasn’t mentioned was Bruce Ismay’s actual office at Albion House on The Strand. The White Star Line offices. On either side of this ornate building are a line of offices jutting out. Bruce Ismay had the one on the right, the bottom of the four you see. The MD of the White Star Line at the time the Titanic sank. White Star Line and Harland and Wolff flagship. He of course is famously known to have survived. But lived the rest of his life as a virtual recluse.
I just returned from Liverpool, visiting my bestie who has lived there a few years. Your walk around and explanations of this great city are awesome! I LOVED Liverpool, it is world class, I loved my time there. This brings such wonderful memories, can't wait to return!
Thank you so much for the walk. Miss my home town so much. It was really fun to see all my old stomping grounds and the vibrant history and buildings. Thanks again.
Thanks for this very enticing walk, we’d very much like to visit this city again and more so from having seen this. Best wishes to you and keep on walking.
We came across your Walking Tour video of Liverpool while researching for an upcoming sightseeing trip. Can only say that it's the best, most informative and entertaining walkabout video we've seen, absolutely marvellous, thank you. We'll be staying in a hotel on the waterfront and hopefully we'll take in all the sights and pack plenty of shopping in while we are there.
Very good video, with lots of interesting info. If you check the traffic in the section where you are by the Adelphi, talking about the Radio City Tower, you will notice John Lennon's famous Rolls Royce going past!
Hi Dave don't think l could have spent the part of the night here,very old creaky old building just love the old building's it's very nice of James and Jonathan to allow you in thanks for sharing 👍
The Cavern Club that The Beatles played in was completely demolished in 1973. The Cavern Club that now stands on Mathew Street was built in the basement of a new shopping mall in 1984.
Part of the present Cavern Club does share part of the space of the original. I heard this at a talk there, delivered by a guy who was involved in the rebuild.
@@peterallman8474 They would say that, they like to perpetuate that myth. It's a fairytale that evolved from the original story in 1984 that the venue shared a wall with the real Cavern. I played there in 1984 when it first opened. My dad, who visited the original Cavern countless times, was with me and couldn't believe how fake the whole thing was.
THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL ARE HOST TO THE BEST AND BIGGEST FOOTBALL CLUB ON THE PLANET....MY BELOVED LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB ! 💖⚽🔥💥🙏🇬🇬💥👍🥳🥳👑👑🐐🇬🇧🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆NEXT MONTH ON THE 18 TH I AM DUE TO VISIT LIVERPOOL FOR A FEW DAYS...OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT !🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖⚽⚽⚽⚽
Lime Street Station is my favourite station when travelling. Living in North Yorkshire I use a lot of major stations in the North. Lime Street is way better than Picadilly, Victoria & Leeds, it’s easier to get from platform to platform being flat, the staff are far more helpful & happy it’s literally a joy to use this station 👌
Much enjoyed, but surprised you passed by the single propeller which was recovered from the Lusitania @1:19 (20secs) it is situated nearby the 'Waiting' Horse statue. Apologies if it has been previously mentioned.
Liverpool Lime street station is the oldest main line train station in the world. However the oldest train station is Liverpool road "or is it Street" in Manchester. The Manchester station opened on the same day as Broadgreen station in Liverpool. But in later years Broadgreen moved several yards down the road, which is why the Manchester station is the oldest continuing station.
The view from Pier Head, The open space of The Strand and follow up streets, and the seemingly less dense populace... Liverpool people should count their blessings; this is indeed a healthy way to live in the UK considering alternatives like London.
Great video and commentary. However, you missed a trick at 1.09 when you walked right past the Cote brasserie in Paradise St. The golden eagle on the upper floor marks this out as the very first consulate of the infant United States...anywhere in the world. It dates back to 1790 and includes Nathaniel Hawthorne as one of its consuls.
Thank you for doing this fantastic walk and your well informed and presented history of Liverpool. Unfortunately I have to agree with UNESCO in the respect that the modern waterfront developments are an abominable mish mash of inappropriate developments given the incredible historic and geographical setting of the place! A fantastic opportunity missed!
I'm planning to go to a trip there in the coming months, would 3-4 days be enough to see most things in the city? I've also visited London for 2 days, but heard the prices are much more reasonable in comparison.
If you want to see the ‘ruins of Liverpool Castle’, you can still visit the folly in Rivington, so it isn’t entirely lost to history thanks to a facsimile…
SORRY BUT I' M WATCHING THIS ENTIRE BEAUTIFUL VIDEO FOR A SECOND TIME BEFORE I GO TO LIVERPOOL ON THE 18 OF MAY,AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT I'VE GOT UNDER 3 WEEK'S TO PUT FOOT ON ( AFTER LONDON) BUT NEVERTHELESS MY SECOND FAVOURITE CITY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD,AS AN IDIOT ! I CAN SEE MYSELF CRYING ONCE I SET FOOT ON THE FERRY CROSSING THE MERSEY RIVER FROM THE WIRRAL BIRKENHEAD TOWARDS THE WATERFRONT ON THE MAINLAND AND BE FACED WITH BILLY FURY'S STATUE,THE ( BEAUTIFUL) 3 GRACES💖💖💖😭😭😂😂💔💔🔥🔥🔥AND OF COURSE THE LARGER THAN LIFE STATUES OF THE BEATLES( AS SOON AS I GET THERE I'LL TAKE PHOTOS OF ALL THE BUILDINGS AND THEM STATUES...THE ONES I WILL CHERISH FOREVER....I HONESTLY LOVE LIVERPOOL ,IT'S POP CULTURE,ROCK AND ROLL....IT MUST BE A WONDERFUL CITY TO LIVE IN....LIVERPOOL SEE YOUON THE 18TH...I AM REALLY COMING !😭😭😭💖💖💖😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇬🇬🇬🇧🙏🥳🥳🥳🥳
Interesting fact is that three hugely important men aboard the Titanic, were about to vote on the Federal Reserve banking creation. They were about to vote against it, and so they had to die. That rigging of the vote haunts the world today, because we are all suffering under the resulting financial usury and economic problems that comes with inflation and taxation theft from the people and each nation's assets.
went with my mum to the albert dock. she absolutely hated it. it's nto visually great. this morning with richard and judy had this as a backdrop, though.
I suppose cynics might say 'why do so many scousers leave if it's so great' But to fairly answer that need to know; 1. The city has always had a huge ebb and flow of people -as a key empire migration and immigration point - which is what makes it interesting place and 2. the 1970s to 1990s were very hard times economically for the city (I know 'cos I lived through it) which is why many left - but the corner has been turned thankfully and things in general (including population and visitors) appear to be on an upward looking trend - this despite the doubts about Uk in general.
I was born in Liverpool.every city has problams i also watched the video .yes cilla black .worked as takeing your coat .her mother sold coats on scotty road. Jimmy tarbucks dad also had a bookie shop.betting shop .you call it today .now theres also tunnels under the city . When soldiers came back fron the war from the napolican war . Was hired to build bricks .the woman an children made the bricks. Today we call it ..williams tunnels .also known as the mole of edgehill
Just want to correct you on an otherwise great tour of my city. The modern Cavern club is next door to the one from the swinging 60s. Where the Beatles played was next door, filled in in the 70s.
He said this. I was really impressed that he picked up on EVERY single fact that he pointed out. And much I had no idea about. Sometime these guides are reluctant to point this out incase it does hard to the new Cavern Club. But it’s only the entrance that is not the original place. Most of the inside is the actual building. Updated of course.
I feel like almost every city looks authentic and old apart from London which just looks like glass and concrete 70s buildings. I know we have old buildings in London but Boris Johnson allowed his mates to mess around with the architecture.
The accent is not derived from the Irish, as many Irishman went to Manchester and they don't have a scouse accent. It's probably a mix of Scandinavian and Celtic
There is definitely an Irish influence. Dis and dat, etc. There's an old clip on here somewhere from Liverpool in the 60s or 70s, and there are people with scouse accents in that where you can hear the Irish influence much more than today. I mean, a city in which literally every other person has Irish ancestry, how could it not have an influence on the accent? But all kinds went into it. You can hear Welsh very much in there too.
its a mixture of irish scots welsh and scandi .......people in manchester didnt have that influx hence why they dont speak like scousers .And tbh if you travel 10 miles from liverpool ,people wont sound scouse at all ..........very distinct .
If you listen to the Manc accent it is basically just a scouser having a stroke. I say that with social immunity btw because I'm scouser married to a manc before anyone thinks that's an insult but just get a scouser to hold their nose and talk dead slow and it's basically manc
Considering this was 1 hour 22 minutes long I do think this showed how good Liverpool really is. For example no inside shots of either of the cathedrals or St George’s Hall or mention of the monumental buildings opposite St George’s Hall. Very poor.
Two of England's most successful football clubs? Fair enough, Liverpool FC, but Tranmere Rovers isn't really a Liverpool club, and they're not all that successful either.
If you're going to slag off my home town, at least learn how to spell the places and pronounce their names. Any city has crime, but Liverpool in general, has the best people of anywhere I've lived.
It's history. It doesn't make Liverpool any less magnificent, more so because the city owns -it- its past and curates it with objectivity and respect as can be seen in its museums. This, I believe, reflects the authenticity and conscientiousness of the city and its people and perhaps is the reason why they are more radical and progressive than any other part of England. When they came to know better, they then proceeded to do better. Don't try to run away from the past by pretending it doesn't exist, a classic English trait, face it head on and be better by it, a trait I hope you and the rest of Britain can copy from this lovely city and its even more remarkable people.
so people visit Rome thinking of Christians being executed or visit Berlin thinking of Jews? i think you are the one who needs to give it a break ..mate!
i was not born in liverpool, but lived in district of it from the age of 4. left liverpool 1978, to return to the country of my birth,wales.loved my time living in the area, became a fan of lfc, worked in the city ,went clubbing in the city.met the love of my life here, married then moved to north wales for work, when all the jobs started going. still love the place, but don,t go back very often. i think you film was very good, it shows a side of liverpool that many outside the area don,t seem to know. a film showing a historic side, not like the usual slagging off the scousers. well done.
As a Liverpool Tourist Guide I can only doff my cap to this excellent, informative and charmingly delivered walk and commentary.
You could have enjoyed a £1.50 cuppa from the tea van by the Ferry Terminal, watch the world (and river) go by and it wouldn't have been long till you could have got a nice shot of the ferry arriving. It's one of my favourite spots after a tour.

Proud to say my mother was born in Liverpool. Love it.
Made me homesick as not been back in nearly 40 years. God bless Liverpool and all who sail in her.

@@stevensmith-xz7pjit’s called the bombed out church you wool
Where did your grandad move to?
@@bobsmith3291 In around 1888, he was a cabin boy on a ship that sailed to Vancouver BC. He left the ship in BC and never returned to Liverpool.
A great historical history of Liverpool. Realy interesting and a very good presentation.
Great walk around a fantastic city.👍😁
Well done to all involved in this ,just brilliant ! Thank you .
Fabulous walk around Liverpool. How clean are the streets of Liverpool. I can’t remember seeing a single piece of litter. Well done Liverpool City council, its residents and visitors.

1:12:00 I like this view; there's no oversaturation of tall buildings obsctructing the view of the sky.

I remember that arch in the 80 s unless it's a replacement
Now do Everton Library before it deteriorates anymore and they pull it down
Your right they knocked down the cavern and built the air shaft
Underground bands are the real Betatles or Elvis, They' were a smaller local band from Liverpool
Us Scousers say...”The Pier Head”....eg. “Let’s all go down The Pier Head”...👍🏻

He didn't mention 'The Man' and his steel nudger which is much worse than calling Leece Street 'Lease Street'.
Just want to correct you on an otherwise great tour of my city. The modern Cavern club is next door to the one from the swinging 60s. Where the Beatles played was next door, filled in in the 70s.

He said this. I was really impressed that he picked up on EVERY single fact that he pointed out. And much I had no idea about. Sometime these guides are reluctant to point this out incase it does hard to the new Cavern Club. But it’s only the entrance that is not the original place. Most of the inside is the actual building. Updated of course.
I feel like almost every city looks authentic and old apart from London which just looks like glass and concrete 70s buildings. I know we have old buildings in London but Boris Johnson allowed his mates to mess around with the architecture.
The accent is not derived from the Irish, as many Irishman went to Manchester and they don't have a scouse accent. It's probably a mix of Scandinavian and Celtic
I think you're probably right. If you listen to people speaking Danish, the lilt of the accent is very similar.
There is definitely an Irish influence. Dis and dat, etc. There's an old clip on here somewhere from Liverpool in the 60s or 70s, and there are people with scouse accents in that where you can hear the Irish influence much more than today. I mean, a city in which literally every other person has Irish ancestry, how could it not have an influence on the accent? But all kinds went into it. You can hear Welsh very much in there too.
its a mixture of irish scots welsh and scandi .......people in manchester didnt have that influx hence why they dont speak like scousers .And tbh if you travel 10 miles from liverpool ,people wont sound scouse at all ..........very distinct .
If you listen to the Manc accent it is basically just a scouser having a stroke. I say that with social immunity btw because I'm scouser married to a manc before anyone thinks that's an insult but just get a scouser to hold their nose and talk dead slow and it's basically manc
Some parts of the city could've been in New York.
Considering this was 1 hour 22 minutes long I do think this showed how good Liverpool really is. For example no inside shots of either of the cathedrals or St George’s Hall or mention of the monumental buildings opposite St George’s Hall. Very poor.
Two of England's most successful football clubs? Fair enough, Liverpool FC, but Tranmere Rovers isn't really a Liverpool club, and they're not all that successful either.
Love it! Check out my walking tours :)
If you're going to slag off my home town, at least learn how to spell the places and pronounce their names. Any city has crime, but Liverpool in general, has the best people of anywhere I've lived.

A woke walk around Liverpool. Should have been titled...A history of slavery......give it a break mate!
It's history. It doesn't make Liverpool any less magnificent, more so because the city owns -it- its past and curates it with objectivity and respect as can be seen in its museums. This, I believe, reflects the authenticity and conscientiousness of the city and its people and perhaps is the reason why they are more radical and progressive than any other part of England.
When they came to know better, they then proceeded to do better.
Don't try to run away from the past by pretending it doesn't exist, a classic English trait, face it head on and be better by it, a trait I hope you and the rest of Britain can copy from this lovely city and its even more remarkable people.
so people visit Rome thinking of Christians being executed or visit Berlin thinking of Jews? i think you are the one who needs to give it a break ..mate!
i was not born in liverpool, but lived in district of it from the age of 4. left liverpool 1978, to return to the country of my birth,wales.loved my time living in the area, became a fan of lfc, worked in the city ,went clubbing in the city.met the love of my life here, married then moved to north wales for work, when all the jobs started going. still love the place, but don,t go back very often. i think you film was very good, it shows a side of liverpool that many outside the area don,t seem to know. a film showing a historic side, not like the usual slagging off the scousers. well done.
no slaves landed in liverpool fact
