Another cracking video of the city George. It's too easy to walk in the city centre and not notice the gems around. I went in the Queen Avenue after watching your video. The tunnel between James Street and Water Street was a little gem I hadn't been in since I was a child when my nana use to take us when. Your video reminded me and I went in a couple of weeks ago. Thanks again for great videos.🙂
Thank you ruth queen avenue is also a lovely place isnt it a real gem that one I had a little nise innthe james st one the other day its amazing isnt it Thanks for watching love
Many years ago I must have walked past that building so many times when I worked in Castle Street and on my way to the bank. Probably looked different those days to be fair. Thanks George for showing us yet another hidden gem. 👍🏼👍🏼
What a video..I always say our history is hidden below our feet .Historical buried building and constructions along with our buried forefathers..Great work..
@g2emedia1977 Whats your view on the mud flood theory? There are several buildings in Liverpool for example Fazakerly St of Old Hall street and the windows ledge is on the pavement? There no way it was originally built like that so what happened to these buildings? There are tons more examples of buried buildings especially those with sp called basements. This phenomenon has puzzled me for year's.
I believe he got given a hard time over his glass curtain buildings! They weren't liked at all at first. Such a relief they didn't get demolished before people appreciated them 🙏
Great video as always mate wished we learned more about our great city and its people in school instead of 1066 battle of hastings got 800 years of our own history 👍
I beg to differ. Here in Shrewsbury we have the Flax Mill which was the world's first iron framed building which was then the prototype for all the skyscrapers that were to follow...😜
I don’t no if you know number 16 cook street is another one of his we did a project about him we I was in school mane year ago now but that one thing I remember we went there to see the Building
Ellis also invented the lift….. which is also in this building….. first underwater tunnel…… first passenger railway ….. first suspended railway …… first to reclaim land with sand which liver building an all stand on which the likes of Dubai use today and turns full circle with the new blues stadium….. loads of world firsts in this city plus all the talent of musicians, actors, sporting personalities, film producers, writers, poets……..THE POOL OF LIFE.
Morning so I watched your video about Johno's and lockharts if you like salt and pepper chicken wings happy seasons 90 page moss lane L14 better known as mings wings
Looks like my comments are being deleted by the YT gods. I'll try again. We have so much to be proud of in our city. The bank next door has a history too. There's a film about it staring David Jason. Let's see if this stay on.🤞🏻
I'm afraid this is nonsense. The Home Insurance Building was a skyscraper that stood in Chicago from 1885 to its demolition in 1931. Originally ten stories and 138 ft (42.1 m) tall, it was designed by William Le Baron Jenney in 1884 and completed the next year.
Engage brain and research before using the keyboard !!! Peter Ellis was draft dodging the America civil war in the UK, trained as an architect in Liverpool before designing Oriel Chambers and another similar building a couple of years before 1864. He then returned to the US after the Civil War to design the first skyscrapers in Chicago. Oriel Chambers was the world's first steel framed, curtain walled building and is on Historic England's list of 100 most inspirational buildings in the UK. I have researched his as I am a Chartered Building Surveyor and I undertook the pre-acquisition survey of the building for the current owners.
Thank you for teaching me something new about my city.

@ScouserWithADrone ha ha nice one mate
So many firsts in Liverpool don't forget we gave the world Trains and Trams

Hey george you should take a look at the albany building in old hall street

Great video G.
Thanks pete glad you enjoyed it
I believe he got given a hard time over his glass curtain buildings! They weren't liked at all at first.
Such a relief they didn't get demolished before people appreciated them 🙏
I also heard he was outlawed back in the day for putiing candle makers out of buisness lol dont know if true or not
@@g2emedia1977 I think it was 🙄, and that blinds had to be erected inside the offices because the tenants said they were too bright ☺️
Great video as always mate wished we learned more about our great city and its people in school instead of 1066 battle of hastings got 800 years of our own history 👍
Thanks paul glad you enjoyed the vid
Ha ha yeh all i was told about was also the battle of hastings mad isnt it
Thanks for watching mate
Outstanding building, way ahead of it's time and dare I say better than most of the shite that goes up today.
Very true most the stuff nowadays is crap
Dont forget birkenhead park on our side of the water
I always loved that building, thought it w
I did liver building tour and they claim to be the 1st skyscraper !. I'll be visiting that staircase !!
Adam mentioned that aswell thats why we filmed the intro there
Mad as a mill in shewsbury also make the same claim ha ha
I beg to differ. Here in Shrewsbury we have the Flax Mill which was the world's first iron framed building which was then the prototype for all the skyscrapers that were to follow...😜
It was built before oriel chambers so i dont know
I suppose it wad the idea was taken from that liverpool building rather than the mill?
Liverpool got first skyscraper in the world😂
Yep
I don’t no if you know number 16 cook street is another one of his we did a project about him we I was in school mane year ago now but that one thing I remember we went there to see the Building
I sent that message before I even finished the video I guess you know then 😂
@@homeslice669 cheers

Ha ha i must have went the same school as you i learnt the same thing

Oriel chambers was built in 1864 so is the precursor for all skyscrapers 😄
@@g2emedia1977 There's always one George. I thought you were taking us for a quick look around Hooters for a minuet there mate 🤣🤣
