    Ken Harrison was my grandad. Was very much into cine film and was in cine clubs. My dad thinks this may have been part of a competition between cine clubs. It’s a shame the audio cuts out at the end. I would be interested in any more information you have about this film.

      I knew your grandad Ken very well indeed as a fellow member of the committee of SWAN cine club. He taught me everything I needed to know about making films in the days before Computer editing had taken off. As well as that he was a real gent and people had a lot of respect for him.- Regards

    Thankyou for the memories, I was brought up of west Derby Road behind the Palladium Cinema. Worked as a TV repair Engineer and my patch was Liverpool 7 and 8 I have never forgotten calling on houses and being told "you will have to take us as you find us" and having a big mug of Tea put in my hand before I started to repair the TV ,and if it was around dinner time you would have a door step put in your hand and God only knows what was between the two thick pieces of bread. Sadly I left Liverpool for Cheshire my early twenties. As they say you can take the boy out of Liverpool but you can not take Liverpool out of the boy.

    Those old pubs. The Bass House, anyone? Bob Ready was the manager. He was in The Green Man when Boys From The Blackstuff filmed there. My nan lived in Portland Gardens, not far from that pub.

    The Pub was an important place socially, where you could also buy, sell, or even find work if someone was looking for a Labourer or Jobber or driver etc. I found each of those, some lasted years.

    Good old Liverpool. Born in Venmore St right opposite the Kop in 1958. It is a place that never leaves you ( bit like the Christian Brothers), you spend your life trawing through things to do with the docks, the landing stage, the sea, and yet (like a big mac) it don't matter how much you consume and digest, you remain hungry for more. It's a melancholy sickness for the past and what no longer remains, apart from our memories.I ain't been back in 12 years. I don't want to spoil the illusion. If you remember the Pier Head and the Princes Landing Stage in the early 1960's you'll know exactly what |I mean. Sorry to rant.
