Brilliant video this Kev. Never remember doing any local history in school and still don’t know if they teach any local history so these videos are brilliant to inform and learn from. Sad story on so many levels all round and as you mentioned a lot of the themes are still present to this day. Makes it even more important it’s told in an informative and balanced way which was enjoyable to watch 👍🏻
Great subject matter Kev. When I was at Uni, we studied the Peterloo Riots in Manchester, 16/08/1819…it was about votes, who can vote, FREESPEECH and oppression! People were killed. And it aligns with todays problems, it’s ironic it was called a ‘Reform’ rebellion! 60,000 people attended. Yet the Manchester folk try and keep it forgotten! If it had happened in Liverpool, they’d still be reporting it today! We’re heading in the same direction due to illegal migrants clogging up the Hospitals, Housing and Employment… Thanks mate.
Well done for retelling this little piece of Liverpool history. Similar riots happened all over the country around about that time - Cardiff, Glasgow, Hull, South Shields, etc. Race definitely had something to do with it but these things are never about just one thing alone. There was immense poverty, competition for jobs, feelings of betrayal and resentment towards the authorities and the people who they saw as usurping their position in their town by having their jobs, housing, women, etc,. Like Charles, some of these black men had served in the military and put their lives on the line for King and country just like they did and the ones that didn’t were in the towns to maintain the economy whilst the local men were away not being able to work in local industries. The real causes of these things are never addressed and the authorities always like to pit working class people against each other because if they unite they are a fearsome force.
Wow, brilliant Kevin. What a sad story ,This should be part of local schools history lessons. The plaque definitely needs to be put back or a new one installed. This tragic event needs to be remembered in one of the cathedrals or the local Church by way of another plaque. We were slowly losing stories like this ? Plaque helps in prompting people to research. Thank you, and it was extremely well presented.
Very informative and interesting. Rivalry for jobs and accommodation was a major factor in racial disharmony following both WW1 and -2. Another factor, and one which persisted throughout the 1950s when I still lived in Liverpool (Grafton Street, Liverpool 8) was the rivalry for the affections of women. Most of the men who came from the colonies came alone. As such, their only opportunity for sex and romance was with local women. As one West Indian told me, the attitude of many British people at the time was that no white woman could ever love a black man. She had to be a prostitute. The Lloyd George government had spoken of 'Homes fit for Heroes' for those returning from WW1. It turned out to be another example of Government BS. Incidentally, women who had been working in predominantly male occupations (buses, factories, etc.) during the war, lost their jobs when the men returned. Another cause of discontent.
Thank you so much for this in such a respectful manner. I don’t know if you will see this but in case you do……You now have a new subscriber. This really resonated with me. My grandfather came from a family who traditionally were all mariners and sailors. I grew up being told of stories like this one. Everyone on the ships were very tight looking out for each other. When he told me about this poor gentleman who lost his life there were tears s in his eyes. He said he was innocent of any crime. As a child I could see he was upset but as an adult I can understand how this incident disturbed and distressed him. A little known fact and another story he told me is that many sailors would raid ships and free men who were still be sold into slavery. This happened later than people think. They would get them jobs on board the ships to protect them and enable them to either get home or the crew would help them by raising money to get their families to the UK to safety. There are records of this online newspaper articles from the time if anyone wants to authenticate what I am stating. May Charles Watton rest in peace.
Poor Charles .Very interesting never heard this story before. Gosh im getting educated watching your channel. I am more interested in liverpools history than my area.
Haven’t watched yet Kev but this is a touchy subject my friend!! Wokeys and lefties won’t like this!! You’re a brave man!! Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Such a shame isn’t it and Kev is doing this because he has a big heart. Absolutely nothing bad about this man. Liverpudlians seem to be some of the best. Thank you all for lending Kev to the nation he’s a treasure and we don’t see many these days up and down the country.
Brilliant video as I’d never even heard of the race riots ! I enjoyed it and thank god it’s no longer like that ! As for your thoughts on charles being a good swimmer ! Did you know back in the day most fishing trawlers wouldn’t take you on board IF you could swim !! Reason why is they thought drowning should be virtually instant and trying to swim would be an agonising death ! Enjoyed the video
KC, its not black and white your right, its about 'right and wrong. We need to focus and concentrate on who "is behind all this.' Great film mate, do some research on the three jurisdictions of L.A.W. The Land, the Air and the Water. How the jurisdiction of the water is :contracts and corporations" and that is what we all come under/are controlled by. Find out how to get out of the water and back "on to the land" and be able to "stand in your own sovereignty." It will start to make sense of all the bollocks from the past and the present that we see and smell a rat about Keep up the great work mate.
Tragic story. Totally new to me. Another bit of local history you could cover is , back in 1930s the IRA had a terror cell in Liverpool and they actually blew up a bridge somewhere near bootle
Thanks Kev, I had never heard of the race riots after WW1.... My father-in-law was born in 1920. He used to tell us some terrible tales of childhood poverty and how hard life was upto WW2 where he served in the merchant navy like so many lads from Liverpool, because of the lack of work. I was always interested in his stories. Now I'm wondering what he knew about this one? Great vlog, interesting and very sad and tragic for Charles. Wonder what's happened to his plaque! You've also given me a topic of conversation with my (90yr) Mum tomorrow...
Showed my mum this vlog and she had heard about this, she explained it as the locals fighting for jobs. However she didn't know about Charles story or the plaque, which she'd now like to see 🙂. Thanks again Kev, she likes your tales, 👍

Exceptional work, Kev. Your in-depth research is evident, and I anticipate many more such insightful presentations. Your vlogs contribute significantly to a broader understanding of Liverpool's rich and complex history, fostering unity by acknowledging both its positive and challenging aspects. This approach promotes reconciliation and progress. Respect 🙏
No, it was the General Transport Strike of August 1911 that Churchill ordered the Gunboats to sail up the Mersey and train their guns on the City. That was after 3 young protesters where shot dead by soldiers drafted in from outside of the City as they'd of not followed the orders.
There is a Charles Wooten centre on Upper Parliament Street Lpool 8.. I don’t know for sure if it’s still there.. So very sad for this young man.. RIP Charles🙏♥️
Great video, very informative. I'm not sure what could have been done it's a difficult one. It's a shame that it's been almost forgotten about now, It's partly because it's a bit of a dark stain on our history I guess. The only thing is you should have gone to visit his grave in Anfield Cemetery, not sure if you were aware of it, would have been a good end to the video. I think it only got put there in 2023 which is a bit of a joke.
greetings from California race has always been a problem in liverpool especially in the 80s we were going in to a club in upper parliament street there was some black guys on the door on a club the babaloo we had a beef with them over charging us a fee to get in, next think a fight broke out my mate Dennis Kelly stabbed the bouncer billy osu and killed him , he was giving a life sentence but claimed self defense. it was so sad. Dennis later on got another life sentence for importation the judge said you will serve the rest of your life in jail , it was a sad story Kev, blessings everyone liverpool bank robber to hollywood butler
Interesting story and any loss of life is awful....but thousands of innocent young men got sent to that needless war called World War One and lost their lives. I can totally understand riots taking place because the ones that survived came home to have their jobs taken by foreign workers. What you fail to mention it was not just Carribean workers taking their jobs,it was also Chinese,Arabs and Russians taking those jobs. Also, the same happened in many places including Cardiff and Salford. We can blame the war mongering government of the time for this. Incidentally there was an element of copy cat rioting going on as it was happening in Chicago at the same time. The lesson we must learn from this is..we must look after our own people first. Those incidents will be repeated soon if we dont stop mass uncontrolled immigration and put a stop to all the illegal boat crossings. A disaster waiting to happen.
I think the lesson that should be learned is to not be manipulated by the government to fight other working class struggling people. The government and the rich are ones that causes all the problems for working class people. They are the ones that don’t want to pay people decent wages. They are the ones hiring illegal immigrants. They are the ones who should be punished for doing so!
Anyone familiar with L8 history knows Charles was scapegoat they even knocked down Charles Wotton centre on Parliament Street. There's only one thing that gets me. Charles was a British born or scouse born sailor, and black people have been in this country since records were established. Romans' occupation for one had high diversity of all people of different skin tones
Brilliant to watch kev such a sad story to listen to, it was never easy then my late dad came here in the sixties and he went through a lot just to put food on the table to provide for his family it's good to educate people on all of this and more if something has been put up or vandalised and taken down then it's like erasing something which has been deemed not to have happened but really has i have to say this but society still needs educating they know what the truth is but refuse to listen about it because they know it is such a sad world we live in the truth will always prevail the untruth.
@@henryb160what do you think Henry? Read the book and you’ll find out. I’ve done my research, now you do yours. You have nothing positive ever to say on this channel. So if you want to know anything, I’ve give you the source to read up on it. Have a good day 👍🏻
Very sad tragic story of racism & that memorial needs putting back in place of honour for Charles. However Kev you can't put what goes on in our towns today in the same context. Our government enticed Black seafarers like Charles Wotten to stay here and work & fight for our country, & Charles was born here, similarly the Chinese seafarers who after their services then mysteriously taken backhome never to see their families through relationships made with Liverpool girls. Our government left these families believing they had been abandoned & in reality their men folk where taken away. Some of these coming here today are not here for the same reasons as Charles Wotten. People are getting angry because our government are by passing our UK destitute , Black & white & ploughing money into helping asylum seekers & migrants who come here with poor English from the Balkens & other places with no wars. They have child after child no job to come to or prospect of one. Use our education system freely & claim Houses that our own destitute get refused, I could go on & on. Yes some are decent people who you can't blame for wanting a better life.But please don't put them in the same context as the likes of Charles Wotten. If you have witnessed true traumatisation you would realise that's not the case with some if these in Liverpool. I love your videos Kev but don't be nieve it's not about colour or stealing jobs, it's about our own people suffering having pensioners heating allowance stopped ,NHS services,housing, disability benefits, educational services all being reduced or stopped to accommodate all these Immigrants. They are putting nothing into the pot but taking everything out. I am no racist but i object to this mass immigration. Why not go the States,Canada, Australia large countries ? Instead of our tiny UK Islands who can't assist our own people as you realise. Apologies to all the hard working foreigners here. Brilliant content yet again Kev 🙏
Thanks, Kev! This reminds me of the ‘Windrush Scandal’ where people from the Caribbean who had been invited into the UK from 1948 to 1970 where detained, and in some cases, illegally deported! The HMT Empire Windrush was the ship used to bring them into the UK! Race is an issue with every generation, it seems!😢
Thank you Kev, for your research and possibly getting the plaque put back that is well deserved. I didn’t know about this and will look into the riots at that time now. It’s such a sad part of our history. I understand the friction from both sides but the rock throwing etc, just made me tear up. I’m sure there are many more across the country. What would we have done without these people. How would the country have survived without them coming over at the governments invitation. I don’t know the answer to that all I can say in my opinion is that we all bleed red, these people came to help and some possibly were lied to or trapped into coming over. Anyone who thought it was ok to stone a man must’ve had so much hatred brewing inside. We are seeing it now in different forms and maybe the tables have turned. It’s all down to politics and the media manipulating everyone. I think I’ve said enough. I could say more but many people, on ALL sides, wouldn’t like it. Nowadays I’m scared to say so much for fear of retribution because whatever I do say will be sort of, dammed if I do or dammed if I don’t. My weapons of W4rf4r3 are not of this world, they are just my 2 hands clasped together in prayer. At my age and health conditions I don’t think I’ll make it to see 2030, I hope and pray that this world will be a world of peace and full of people who are likeminded as you are. My ‘children’ and my grandchildren will get to learn so more than I will ever know, as will you. Keep it going this has been by far one of the most interested fact finding video you have put out there and it’s given me something to do when I’m alone and getting upset thinking about loved ones I have lost. Thank you sincerely. You have such a good heart and I don’t think you truly realise the impact this channel has on so many and you have touched people from near and far. Why you don’t have a million subs is beyond me. Sorry it’s a long comment but I’m sitting here alone and cold at home and I was so happy to see the notification. God bless you Kev. If I find anything else out about the riots around the areas I know of I will let you know here on this video with a link to whatever I find. Sorry again to you and others who are member or have subbed to this channel for this long comment. But I feel like it’s a family here and I know some will maybe be ok with it but some will be saying whatever nasty comment they want to as a reply, and that’s ok, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Thank you Kev once again. ⭐️🙏

Yes some are decent people who you can't blame for wanting a better life.But please don't put them in the same context as the likes of Charles Wotten. If you have witnessed true traumatisation you would realise that's not the case with some if these in Liverpool. I love your videos Kev but don't be nieve it's not about colour or stealing jobs, it's about our own people suffering having pensioners heating allowance stopped ,NHS services,housing, disability benefits, educational services all being reduced or stopped to accommodate all these Immigrants. They are putting nothing into the pot but taking everything out. I am no racist but i object to this mass immigration. Why not go the States,Canada, Australia large countries ? Instead of our tiny UK Islands who can't assist our own people as you realise. Apologies to all the hard working foreigners here. Brilliant content yet again Kev 🙏
Thanks, Kev!
This reminds me of the ‘Windrush Scandal’ where people from the Caribbean who had been invited into the UK from 1948 to 1970 where detained, and in some cases, illegally deported!
The HMT Empire Windrush was the ship used to bring them into the UK!
Race is an issue with every generation, it seems!😢
Leadership is a problem with every generation!
History debunked tells this story properly on TH-cam
Thank you Kev, for your research and possibly getting the plaque put back that is well deserved. I didn’t know about this and will look into the riots at that time now. It’s such a sad part of our history. I understand the friction from both sides but the rock throwing etc, just made me tear up. I’m sure there are many more across the country. What would we have done without these people. How would the country have survived without them coming over at the governments invitation. I don’t know the answer to that all I can say in my opinion is that we all bleed red, these people came to help and some possibly were lied to or trapped into coming over. Anyone who thought it was ok to stone a man must’ve had so much hatred brewing inside. We are seeing it now in different forms and maybe the tables have turned. It’s all down to politics and the media manipulating everyone. I think I’ve said enough. I could say more but many people, on ALL sides, wouldn’t like it. Nowadays I’m scared to say so much for fear of retribution because whatever I do say will be sort of, dammed if I do or dammed if I don’t. My weapons of W4rf4r3 are not of this world, they are just my 2 hands clasped together in prayer. At my age and health conditions I don’t think I’ll make it to see 2030, I hope and pray that this world will be a world of peace and full of people who are likeminded as you are. My ‘children’ and my grandchildren will get to learn so more than I will ever know, as will you. Keep it going this has been by far one of the most interested fact finding video you have put out there and it’s given me something to do when I’m alone and getting upset thinking about loved ones I have lost. Thank you sincerely. You have such a good heart and I don’t think you truly realise the impact this channel has on so many and you have touched people from near and far. Why you don’t have a million subs is beyond me. Sorry it’s a long comment but I’m sitting here alone and cold at home and I was so happy to see the notification. God bless you Kev. If I find anything else out about the riots around the areas I know of I will let you know here on this video with a link to whatever I find. Sorry again to you and others who are member or have subbed to this channel for this long comment. But I feel like it’s a family here and I know some will maybe be ok with it but some will be saying whatever nasty comment they want to as a reply, and that’s ok, everyone is entitled to an opinion. Thank you Kev once again. ⭐️🙏
