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.
Great Video. Love the narration. I grew up in the Old Fort Prescott st 72/79 Rathbone and Collegiate schools. Liverpool will always be home to me. I get up a couple of times a year.🍻🍺🍻🍺🍺🍺👏
This brought back some memories. I grew up in The Dingle, where a lot of this was filmed and like he said, my uncles went away to sea and then went on the docks, apart from my Dad. He went on The Building sites. Brilliant stuff mate 👍
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.
@@UnorganisedChaos Good shout that Pablo With the Melrose Pub on the Corner 👍 Went to Fonthill Road Primary School back in the day 1971- 1976 Then Lamby Road , Kirkdale 1977-1981 Great times to be a Kid in the Pool 🤔😚😚😚😚
The A1 at Lloyds Pub @ 1:03 My Nan , Hilda Shaw worked there as a barmaid back in the late 60,s early 70,s 👍👍 P.S. if anyone else like myself was wondering what's that bloody song being played on the Violin @ 1:03 🤔🤔🤔🤔 It's actually "Words" by the Liverpool band the Christians 👍👍
Early 80s , meeting my girlfriend outside hairdressing and catering college on colquitt street on fridays, goin to 69a on Renshaw Street for all the great 2nd hand clothes , calling into the little tobacconists on newington ? Little street goin from bold st to renshaw street , to buy my lucky strike ciggys 😁 also was a couple of things my mam and dad would say , mam would say youre a "gutsy logan" if i was on my 2nd bowl of scouse , and me dad would say when it was time to get upstairs to bed he would say " cmon up the dances/dancers , love to know what those phrases came from ?
Yep. Not like it was in the Boys Ftom The Blackstuff when Chrissy wheeled George Malone around there. I'd have said 86 or 87. But i don't recall when renovation started there.
@@lukeriely4468 It was 85. Just confirmed it with a mate of mine, We went there when we left school in August 85. There were a couple of clothes shops there, wool shop and we went to the Japanese tea house they had there called kabuki, they also owned a shop in Cavern walks
@@davidbowie2046 Wow! Well, the state that entire place was in back about 1982 when it was a total reck. I assume some of the buildings now apartments, where still unfinished in 85. I guess the council would have all the planning documentation, etc. At least they never bulldozed the place like they usually do :) Cheers.
@@lukeriely4468 They ere available to buy around 1987 mate. My boss at the time bought one for £150k Which was a huge sum for a property back then. They were on a 100 year ease too, so was never truly you're own.
@@davidbowie2046 Yes, i remember going there in 88 and the apartments (Or most of them) were occupied. I wonder if there are any recordings of the progress? With all the cameras these days, future generations will (Or should) have plenty of photos and videos of how places previous looked. 😊
There's quite simply nowhere like it. I've lived overseas for the best past of 30 years, and currently I'm sitting in our summer place in Lisbon, but if somebody asks, and I tell them I'm from Liverpool, they instantly brighten up.
Born in Liverpool 1963 and lived here all my life 👍wouldn’t want to live anywhere else 👌not perfect but where is in 2024??
I was born in Liverpool down by the docks.
An era I remember a city I love

I love these videos Andy. Thanks for posting.
My father spent more time and money back then in the pubs of Liverpool than what he did with his family.
A lot did back then to be honest Stephen , including my own Dad ;(
Such a lovely channel!

I totally agree with the 60s thing I can still smell the ferry boats the buses at the terminal and the little shop heading up to the Strand
You can see the Managed Decline, compared to the 60s.
Brian Jacques.
nice to see that horiffic office block by lime street knocked down
A superb tele-essay. Articulated with aplomb
What an interesting place.
This is brilliant the narrator is so perfect for this video. Can anyone tell me what road this is at 7.03? I could listen to him all day 👍👍
Not sure...the narrator is Brian Jaques I think.
Fonthill Road in Kirkdale

1:58 I met my future wife at ‘The Casa’ Casablanca (after hours drinking den) ,on Hope St in 1984.😊
Nothings the same.
Reckon this was circa 85 by the look of the Albert Dock? It had been renovated around then.

very true I've been to Lisbon twice always seems to remind me of Liverpool
@@andybb Believe it or not, there's a busy dive bar downtown called "Liverpool".
@@davidroberts6549 Ha prob go there next time
Filmed in 1986
Liked the footage, didn't like the narration. A bit contrived.
