As a proud Liverpudlian born in 1944 this is an absolutely superb piece of work. I remember so much, travelled on the Overhead Railway many times and walked those streets almost on a daily basis. Well done for producing and showing this😊

Brilliant film of my hometown - thank you. Everything looks so clean and orderly, the people smart, peaceful and respectful. I know that some of my ancestors lived difficult lives there - but there was a far greater sense of community. A lot of things in our country have deteriorated so much!
We're only seeing the main streets of course, not the slums of which there were many, with thousands of people living in appalling conditions. Easy to see the past in rose tinted glasses. These were very difficult times for most people.
Shot just before the Great Depression, but one can almost feel the wealth and vibrancy of a Great Port City. Everyone seems so disciplined not bumping into each other coming off the ferry etc.
They were filmed, so they behaved, you can tell that most people were mostly occupied with staring at the camera. Also tons of morons running blindly across the street, even right in front of moving vehicles. But obviously, you only see what you want to see.
Brilliant! I've seen this reel before but the added colour makes it more relative. I could walk those very streets within the hour being a local. It's a bitter sweet video for me as I would've shared it with my mum, who passed suddenly relatively young, 4 years ago in a week's time. Strangely though it brings good memories also. Good content and subbed.
Excellent work mate and thank you for sharing. I showed my mum and when St Georges came on she told about being run over by a tram on lime street when she was a child. Never knew until we watched this. Thank you
Great update I’ve just joined the channel. I’m from Liverpool live in Wirral now across the river but go over to Liverpool most weeks love it. Love the Liverpool history and everything else. Look forward to more. All the best.
Thank you for this. So much has changed but the locations are still recognizable. This is the city my grandparents would have known back in their youth.
Wow what I would do to go back there even for a day and just walk around, it’s a different much sadder and dangerous world the dignity and respect people had back then has been lost so quickly in such a short time it’s very frightening
The frightening thing is that morons like you even believe what they say. There wasn't much difference back then. Rapists, murderers and brawls were just as common as they are today.
Its amazing how clean the streets are - there's no litter at all, no empty crisp packets blowing about in the wind, no out of date posters on every wall.
Brilliant to see my City 100 years ago, wonder if in another 100 people who watch a film of today's Liverpool or indeed anywhere will be quite as in awe as I am of this? Very much doubt it, don't you?
If only this unique video of Liverpool could be part of the local education curriculum, those or their families who have no knowledge of this era, could see the marvellous legacy from the Victorian and Edwardian times. Those flat cap workers constructing the India Buildings at 1,58 are an example I worked in Liverpool city centre in the mid 1960s and recall the old South Castle street and its mix of buildings and Victoria Street were I worked was a very busy area with many firms and a huge fruit exchange that was always busy. Today those firms have gone People then were very smart in work, even ware housemen, bus drivers, conductors, carters, and dock workers wore collars and ties. And those emergency services were always in smart uniform on duty. The Victorians also left many beautiful parks all over the city.
i wish i had a time machine so i could go back in time to the year 1920 and see what people wear and check out the cars people drive and check the houses people lived in who wants to go back in time we me and see what 1920s looked like
What you would see is all people wearing virtually the same, with little difference and no individuality or personality in their looks. It's like a bunch of lemmings, all looking the same, walking the same.
I would love to time travel back in time. Looks brilliant. Just to be there and feel what it was like ! My parents and family are born and bred scousers. No shops boarded up. No litter on the street and no beggars. Life looks great there.
Liverpool has the oldest chinatown in Europe as well as one of the commonwealth island peoples first ports of entry and has always been cosmopolitan! we know what has been planned is an assault on sovereignty utilising undocumented so called refugees who will bend the knee more easily to the' technocratic overlords' (Orwell called them Techno-Gov) as human rights becomes just a distant memory!Now our dna is finally no longer private due to clot shot testing so even our organs can be used for the so called higher echelons! even our health and bodily choice is state controlled already starved of food in hospitals under the Liverpool care pathway/eugenics system!UK was being stripped out as soon as it entered the EC(EU)to be turned into a weak Romania like vassal state of Brussels!It would have happened 60 years ago if Edward hadnt abdicated as King!Even Jesus stated"As in the days of Noah so shall the coming of the Son of man be."Mathew24:37 so it gets worse before it gets better!Jesus is our true King👑 Amen🙏🏻
all these massive, and gorgeous buildings... what the heck did everyone do back then for work and stuff like, those buildings could hold or look like they could hold a lot of people,,,,
Up to the 1.33 mark, the video is showing Compton House on Church Street which is now pedestrianised. Sports Direct now have Compton House the old and original M&S store.
If you want to go there- let's not ignore this City was largely built of the back of the transatlantic slave trade. Over 1.5 million humans started their journey as human cattle to live and die as slaves from Liverpool and you pathetically complain about immigrants who come and work in England because in a great many cases the indigenous are too thick or lazy or both to do the jobs which hard working immigrants are willing to do....not all immigrants ar bad just as not all English people are good.
@@DingDong-tj9ce The people of this city recognise the slave trade and don't back down or make excuses for it. We are largely,historically from outside the country too,Irish,Welsh and many Chinese/Asian and Africans have been here for hundreds of years in some cases. The people of this city have been threatened by their own national government on more than one occasion and because they are viewed as the 'No Blacks,No Irish,No Dogs' prototypes. It's a city that learned it's lesson from the past treatment of enslaved people and immigrant hostility. Few can say that even now.
@skintslots fair comment and well put. The original comment by the other writer is nothing but a troll statement.....I also note my original comment has been deleted.
Strongly disagree with this opinion. As a vibrant sea port Liverpool has always had a rich cosmopolitan heritage and relatively high levels of immigration. It's most famous sons celebrated the culture and music of minorities and blaming people with little power reflects ignorance. Most people thankfully are friendly and inviting to newcomers
Liverpools mosque would have been about 40 years old by the time this film was created, and the synagogue well over 100 years old, it was already multicultural with it being an extremely busy port city.
Obviously the city was once very prosperous. There were still lots of slums but they were away from the city centre and Pier Head. Growing up, the city was pretty rundown. But the city centre these days is now back to its glorious best.
Nice video, even if it is historically inaccurate. The colouring thing never really works. The lorry at the very beginning of the video owned by Bowkers of Blackburn was dark blue not brown as shown here, that's the problem with colourisation it's mainly guess work and more often than not wrong.
If you could go back and have a choice in what era you could live in what would it be , mine would be when cleopatra and mark Antony were together in Egypt .
a modern transport system , for a busy city the trams the over head railways any modern eurpean city would be proud of all sacrificed for a car based system ,grid locking are city in busy times .

Great pictures; where are all the black people ?? According to certain groups our cities were built by imigrants that made our country flourish from the Tudor times onward. So, not any in Liverpool then ? Supposedly a port city whose prosperity came from slaves, but none on the streets apparently, and no evidence of black gentry either ??

Outstanding film the colourising and sound really bring it all to life.
Everyone was so tall and thin.Something definitely changed in our diets over the years.
The food industry just added a ton of sugar, salt and preservatives to foods....look how diabetes has sored for example.
Mass processed junk foods is what happened, everyone cooked wholesome foods from scratch back then.
People were smaller.
