The work you're doing, the compassion and intelligence you show is an inspiration, Billy. You're moving into working class hero territory, my friend. What we're seeing is the symptoms of a very sick and unequal society. This is a class war, mate, it's being waged by the establishment against the people of our class, our neighbourhoods. It's been like this since we were growing up in the 70s, mate. It's not the migrants, the disabled, the poor, the homeless that's the problem behind these symptoms of social decay, degradation and despair; no, it's the establishment and their research foundations along with the corporate lobbyists and the mainstream media that backs them up. The media do lie but mostly they just spin things in favour of these fuckers who've been exploiting and oppressing the people of our class for decades, if not centuries, Billy. But the main job of media is to hide the truth of our experiences whilst telling us some story about, 'if you work hard you'll do well and live the dream; but try getting out of the nightmare first. Well done mate, you're making a very important, very valuable documentary about the reality of daily life for the people of our class. Keep up this very important work, buddy. I salute you!
Well said mr soc. It's the vile turds at the top who started the Class War. Thatcher and her ilk only turbocharged it and hey presto we have the wreckage we live through today😢
Get real, man! The immigrants are DEFINITELY a part of the problem. Legal and illegal immigration needs to be stopped. The political class, British policing, and MSM are obviously core issues. But don’t go down the “oh, my brothers from other lands are in the same struggle as us” bs. White people are being imprisoned for mere words or memes. They’re thrown into the lions den for having dissident political opinions. Non-whites are allowed to commit the most heinous crimes and in many cases, avoid prison time completely. Judging from what you’ve put, I wouldn’t be surprised if you believed in some Socialist Utopian fantasy.
Thank you billy great videos in my Liverpool home 😊don’t hear people singing that anymore billy and no matter what life threw at us we stuck together please keep doing these videos people need to remember how we was they’ve always wanted to break us down and I think it’s devastating 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
I lived in Holmes Street from 1957 to 1960 from birth to 3 years old. I've done videos on the area myself. It was never like this back then, as others have said although it was a poor area, people had pride in their homes. I have a photo of Holmes Street from around 1999-2000 and there was some graffiti but nothing like it is now. So it's turned into a shit tip in the last 20 years. Great video Billy!
Those victorian houses looked after will last another 100 years. Sad so many people in b+b waiting for a home. Councils need to buy up the houses thay could get grants to make them liveable again.
What are you talking about? England has a good social welfare, there are countries where people get 100 pounds a month from the state and that's it, people in England don't appreciate what they get and don't want to work that's why they sleep on the streets, everyone here wants everything for free with taxpayers' money, so explain to me why we have to work for these people because they are too lazy to start any job? Then you meet such people on the street and they are still rude or aggressive to you and you pay them with your taxes for alcohol, weed and Netflix. I have a neighbor across the street, she got a new, freshly built house from the Council, after 2 years she turned this house into a ruin, there is a garbage can in front of the house and rats appeared, the girl doesn't work because why? We will pay for everything, right? But it's time for parties, drugs, alcohol always has it, come down to earth, every person has their own life in their hands, if you do nothing in your life, you have no goals, you end up on the street, of course I'm not talking about everyone but in most cases that's how it is.
@Muflinn agree. But to have decent housing going to waste that just needs a referb is sad. Same where we live with the new builds. In days gone by first home given by council was a flat or maisonette then after so many years if you've look after your property you could go on a housing list for a house if you wanted to. What the problem is most councils don't own any houseing stock anymore. They sold them years ago. It's housing associations now for most towns or cities. For some, the house associations are not located where they own the housing, so know nothing of the problems when giving out like they do. Gone are the days were nice housing estates where everyone appreciated having a nice house with a garden in a nice area. Because it took that long to receive one. Not only did you have to live in a flat or maisonette first. Then you went on a list for a house which could take many years.
@@Muflinnthing is when Councils decide to give Neighbourhoods a total refurb the Natives usually do the same to the new houses built for them, same shit different day seen it too many times in my life to know that won't ever change unless people change.
@@68majortom yep bro,some of this people didn't realise what they get for free,they won't do it the same s h I t for house if they will pay for it from own pocket.If I will get new house from council I will be most happy person on the world ;) Best regards.
I lived off Devonshire road L8 back in the late 50s my parents ashes are in Smithdown Cemetery. Sad way things have changed but not for the better ...Thanks Billy good vid
Life’s shit but I love watching everything you do I didn’t know Liverpool was in such a freaking joke I always wanted to move to Liverpool because the people are amazing I love you I just hope things get better soon xxx
I'm originally from Garston but my dad had a garage on Northumberland Street in the 80s so this is a trip down memory lane for me. When I was a kid maybe about 10 or 11 years old I used to get the bus on my own from Garston to the ice rink on Prescot Road in Kensington I think it was the number 26 or 27 bus which used to go down Sheil Road and this was sometimes late at night too. Looking back I can't believe that I did that because you wouldn't do it nowadays that's for sure! You don't think of these things though when you're young and reckless! Thanks Billy I hope that you make more of these films. Best wishes to you ❤👍🙂
not like when I was a kid , all the mothers would be out brushing the street , scubbing the step, polishing the door knocker with the brasso and walking up to the wash house on lodgy, it was always rough because it was old but our mothers looked after our homes
I used to live in Thornycroft road Bill, my nan would scrub step and brasso door knocker. That Aldi used to be Mable Fletcher finishing school, my nan would say, ' that's where you go to learn how to pain your nails and speak properly 😅
Right on the doorstep of the city centre that tourists rave about but what’s the point of a brilliant town centre if 75% of the rest of the city is an absolute shit hole? bootle, Kenny, anfield, Walton, wavo, crocky, tocky, noggzy, tuebrook, kirkdale, page moss, dovey, canny farm, Fairfield etc etc etc all poverty stricken, run down and underfunded yet the council keeps throwing money at town
Well said fella! Look at anfield ground, tourists on way there must think it's rough as toast. We seen on news how money is used by council etc. Not correctly for sure.
@@Mal-m9g ye anfield used to be nothing but abandoned houses for years until they were all knocked down to make the area look nicer for the stadium expansion & tourists
I'm trying to work out yer abbreviations on these places.Been to Liverpool loads of times but struggling with a few of them.Kenny? Noggzy?Canny Farm? i know the rest.
My nan had a shop on north hill street long before I was born it was very well known at the time. My Grandad had clubs in town. Most of my family grew up in L8 and they have good memories of the old neighbourhood and neighbours. They wouldn't recognise the place or the people now. What a shame
For anyone who wonders how quickly this area went downhill .... Google street view provides the answer. The street featured here is around "Holmes Street", Liverpool. The history option using street view reveals how the place looked as recently as September 2008. At that point in time it was an everyday traditional terraced area. It's galling to fast-forward to latest (August 2022) and see the degree of degeneration that happened in just a few years.
Just looking on Street View now and August 2022 there's a guy sat outside his house on a camping chair with so much litter on the street in front of him. The people who live there need to take responsibility for their area, get some gloves and get a bag and start picking it up. The mentality of "hey why don't we all get together and clean up where we live" just doesn't exist with some people.
Agreed, sadly it doesn't take many people intent on trashing the area to make those who care give up (and leave). It starts to look like we're witnessing the formation of new "sink estates" caused by (possibly council) dumping of unwanted people into specific neighbourhoods. @@Met182
Great insight. Liverpool my 3rd best city. Belfast Dublin Liverpool. I remember watching bread on tv. Same sort streets. No joke people it seems we are the visitors in are own cities now. Look around you. Liverpool great city.
My old man took me to Liverpool when i was a kid he took me on the ferry and i spewed up over the side, that was my contribution. Love most scousers I’ve met over the years, there sense of humour always made a bad situation better ❤
Seein the looks on yer face, yeh brother....world moves on , n not always for the better. Reminds when i went back to my back tracks n highways , couple of years ago....had the same look on me face ...thx for sharing 🙏
@@Eleventhearlofmars It's against the law. Imagine the BBQ fell into a passing pram. Before you know it he'll be roasting a full goat on a spit outside number 16.
1995 worked for British gas..sent from Lancashire to Liverpool to a customer.. Didn't have sat navs back then. Stopped at a bus stop and asked a guy where such a place was,,,, he jumped in the passenger seat and proceeded to direct me for the next 5 miles.to the customers doorstep..the customer then made me bacon egg on toast and a brew. Happier times for everyone

Wow I live in Liverpool born and bred and it breaks my heart to see this they’ve took the heart and soul from what used to be a great place to live now I wouldn’t go out anywhere on my own so sad 😢😢😢
@@housinauthority5258people who say that never lived in liverpool It was a nice place People mowed their lawns the people were nice Now its just typical lavour Garbage
I had a pal who lived on Solway St, they built new houses in the late 70's. My nan lived on Falkner Estate in the 70's, round the corner from the red duster pub. Lots of good memories about that estate
Dad grew up in Dingle Vale near there, also 3 of my grandparents were from Liverpool 8. We emigrated to Australia in 1980 and are very grateful. Watching the current violence with great concern.
Reminds me of villages around the towns in west yorkshire in seventies, on it was rougher then packs of up to 20 dogs roaming around , abandoned cars, derelict buildings for years.
That's a step up if you're arriving from Romania, Somalia, Afghanistan or any other similar shithole that we've imported the millions of immigrants from across the UK. So really, what else can we expect. L8, both the Dingle side and the Parliament Street side, used to be a community of Liverpool people, some black some white, and it wasnt that long ago. Now it's just somewhere to avoid while you to get to where you're going. An indictment of the so-called governments, local and national, across the past 40 years.
Diverse just means your culture is eroding or gone, the newcomers want TEIR culture ,I don't mean to sound mean but thats the harsh truth in many cases.
They are moving everyone out from runcorn to places like Kenny these days as there is no housing left to go around. That's why runcorn and widnes joined the LIVERPOOL REGION,so they can get rid of everyone on the housing lists that's single looking for a flat, they will offer you a flat in Kenny it's take it or leave it and get nothing 😂 they tried putting me up to go Kenny in a flat with a housing deposit bond from the council to put on a flat .
Not just Liverpool the whole country is sliding down the pan quicker than diarrhoea I'm 61 now and I'm telling you I've never seen anything like it even places like Plymouth and Bournemouth are are heading for the pan government couldn't care less
Your relaxed, simple style hides the fact that you're actually a very good vlogger. What a thoroughly interesting insight into that area then .. and now.
I've been forced to live in Shitty Shared Accommodation For the past 3 years in Liverpool coz of the country wide Housing Crisis, but when you see the amount of empty properties there are All Over the City it just makes you think WTF's Going On?? Luv Your Channel, Keep Elevating Lad, You give Hope to Us All out here Fighting the Fight 💯❤️
I'm a believer, in all run down area's being maintained.If a window gets broken fix it. If this doesn't happen one broken window lead's to ten ,then it's vandalised then burnt down. Mayor Giuliano as bent as he was adopted this policy in New York and it took of and businesses invested in it. It's triving now. A bit of that Bill and GB can turn things round. It's dying on its feet.👊☘️
Honestly parts of Liverpool now resemble rough and run down parts of Baltimore and Philadelphia in the U.S, luckily even the roughest parts of Liverpool doesnt have the same level of gun crime as both those cities though.
@@stephensmith799 Detroit is very run down in parts but it doesnt have the same style of houses as in Philly and Baltimore. Philadelphia and Baltimore as they are on the East Coast, have the terraced houses in a very similar style to in Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds. Alot of the houses in inner city Philadelphia especially are boarded up like they are in more deprived parts of Liverpool.
@@rjflores438 it’s tragic. Liverpool has lost half its population since the mid 1960s, mostly I think to reduction in port activity and containerisation. Although I wax a Remainer, I admit that joining the EU wasn’t good for Liverpool whose trade was mostly to and from non-EU countries and especially former British colonies such as New Zealand and Australia. Perhaps a genuine Liverpudlian can confirm this🤔
id not long left school and my first job was renovating these houses I worked my arse out it saddens me to see this . There’s many deprived areas of Liverpool now and this annoys me
Brother I moved to blakelaw Newcastle from down south wow 😮 I can't find any joy in the whole council estate drugs drink mental health issues homelessness it's very sad humanity has lost all hope hear.Thank you for your video
I moved out 25 years ago, I feel sad at the way it has gone. All that sense of community has gone by the looks of it. Crewe is the same its full of Eastern Europeans, and it is now in complete terminal decline. What's left of the town centre is boarded up now.
Easy billy,another great video,im 62 been living in leeds for 30 years now,was brought up on upper parliament street in the 60s, went to st annes school in Overbury street, still visit the area,went to watch the blues against roma the other day, had a few lines and a few bevvies, caused fuckin murder,fuck knows how i didn't get lifted, keep up the good work billy,EVERTON FC GWLADYS STREET END SCALLIES 100pc SCOUSE AND PROUD OF IT 💙
Been like that since and before the big dig of 2000 !! A lot of this is the consequences of big brown envelopes being given out, back in the Mid 1980,s to certain Liverpudlian individuals in power !! A simple example is the number of Mancunian scaffold company's winning contracts for a lot of the new student high rises since the late 1990’s 🤔🤔🤔
Cheers there Billy-I enjoyed that mate. It's seen better days eh? I lived in your town going back to 89-early 90's. I first went into Granby to score - I remember a crew of black guys sorting me out. My mate was freaking but I was cool with em. Later, I spotted em in a club and they turned to me saying, 'safe.' Of course it could have been different with a different crew but I took my risks. During my time I'd also get sorted down the Heights at Netherley and I would party at the Quad. My closest party crew though was Grin Up North and DJ Vertigo. I had an awesome time in Liverpool. It would be the central influence in me and my dear late twin brother Paul doing raves in Mid Wales. Yeah, a tough town but it inspired me - I met so many great people. It's in my upcoming book, 'The Sight of Two' about twins in small town England. I'm from Hereford although my family were the fighting kind, namely the regiment SAS, which is also in the book. I love your podcasts mate - it's real and full of spirit, real life and good will. We too got clean and I now spend my time in other wild places outdoors. Take care out there. Mark
So sad how its gone rnd there,i had a few mates who lived in wendel street back in the day,me dad used to bevvy in the mulliner pub opposite,is it still there billy? Do you remember the kwiky at the top of smithdiwn rd in the 80s?i remember it getting trashed in the riots .
There not bothered about the areas there staying in. Because thay have buildings back home claiming benefits over here for children that are not here. Sending the money back home building luxury new houses. They'll look after the 1s back home. There to move back to.
Sweden is a great example of what's coming. Once was the cleanest, safest country... Now one of the most dangerous, with no go zones 😅 they call them mini Mogadishu
I'm a taxi driver in Liverpool got a job the other week the old dear with her daughter asked if I fancied a game of furniture bingo she went for a fridge three piece suite and a mattress all.left in her terraced street she was right disgusting how areas are left to rot because of cultural enrichment
In birkenhead,they put a skip at the end of some streets,once a fortnight, stops all this dumping and tipping,very simple solution.maybe someone should tell liverpool city council.
Our local MP does the same for our local roads. Also they will collect things for those who need items taken the tip. I am Liverpool. Not a chance would our Liverpool Council do that.
All the people giving negative comments are all wrong I personally owned 5 house in this area and yes I don't rent to Romanias because they took the piss in the past. However most of these house were owed by Riverside and as the flood of Romanias settle and Riverside side existing tenants left the houses were sold off 1 by 1 I have tenants that are hard working and put yp living there the Romanias have been purposely house here by the council as majority of houses boarded up are perfect inside
I live facing that wall theryl is a grass I've lived around here since 1981 so I remember this was a good area. But I will say I go in close. My door and I have good neighbours , is so sad to see this area like this, I believe if the people around here was educated to how we r expected to live then maybe ? We can change this area
Not many want to face those facts mate. Everyone fears the race card. It's not racist though to want our towns and cities to look and feel English. Nobody would visit Pakistan for example and expect to see an ever increasing white population change to the demographic would they but it seems to be that it has to be acceptable the other way round for us. It's not the fault of the people looking for new lives and a place to prosper, it's successive governments that are the problem. Both left and right have made a big mistake and the worst part is, it looks deliberate on their part.
@@stukyu The problem is that our political system is short term. Every 4 years the MP's all want to be seen to be good for society and spend on stuff that makes them look good shirt term. No-one wants to tackle tough issues that take time and money to fix such as helping immigrants bed into our society and understand our way of life. Immigrants get shoved into the same area with little or no education regarding our way of life and help in terms of education generally and training to get a job. This leaves them skint and bored so what are they going to do? Exactly the same thing happened to Irish Catholics in the 19th century and happened again with Caribbean folks in the 1950's. Similar has also happened with Asians in Leicester, Brum, Bradford and London. The MP's haven't been useless deliberately, it's our system which hasn't helped things!
@@KryptonitetoallBS So at what point do you decide there are enough immigrants? Keep going until there no indigenous English left ? Educating immigrants will not alter the current trajectory which is at an ever increasing rate diluting our own race and culture. If voting actually worked and was democratic we would not have it. That is why the political system always achieves VERY long term goals because the entire voting and political charade is just a veneer of democracy to keep us placid and on the hamster wheel of believing in the process and the eternal conflict of left v right.
@@KryptonitetoallBS short term???? so why has the damaging diversity policy continued over 20 years, its deliberate from the WEF tory party carrying on and being replaced by the WEF labour party, nobody want to tackle the tough issues??? they are purposely creating the issues. there is NO MANDATE for mass immigration so why try and fix the consequences when we can fix the main problem and heavily reducing immigration.
Just stumbled on this podcast.. Brilliant... Brings back great memories.. I'm from pwllheli in Wales..my mams a scouser. We used to go to my mams sisters for holidays. To visit our cousins.. And our aunty pat and uncle Eddie... In Lawrence Road... In the late 70s early 80s I used to love it... There was a big laundry there and a railway bridge at the end of the street.. Exciting for us kids from a small town... There was a Chinese chippy there.. I went in asked how much for chips...... Lady behind the counter shouts 1 chip 1p...😂.. It was rough there but we loved it... Lots of love to our cousins Eddie Julie tony Sharon and Yvonne... Sconhead ❤️❤️❤️❤️
My uncle Brian, who lived in underley Street, my Mum was born there, we grew up there I went to Tiber Street primary school. Anyway for some unknown reason, my uncle Brian smashed the windows of such cop station on Lawrence Road and got nicked. I don't know when it shut. We used to go to Mrs. grays cafe with my Nan on Earle Road, which is a bit Picton road and the high street there's nothing between them. Thanks for taking me back! ❤
Another great watch Billy. Like I keep telling you mate, some of the best content on TH-cam. How is your judder getting on and the main man himself your Joe ?? Haven’t seen either of them in a while. Hope there both well 👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Worked around there for a local contractor. Some good Scousers around there but this new crowd they are moving in will cause major problems for the area in the future. Wait and see.
Billy you need to start doing the local pubs shops takeaways restaurants and histories again. You get loads of stories from the locals. Remember drinking in the Boundary full of characters
Some of those houses on Rightmove for 80K. No chance they will get 5k. Communities need to protest the council to get these empty one renovated. Shocking to see.
The Asda on smithdown rd is on the site of the old Sefton general hospital and the old Victorian workhouse and mental asylum where the inmates were officially known as “idiots”. Nice one Billy lad. 👍
My two cousins lived in Moreton St, and attended nearby Welly' Rd school. It was nice there back in the 50's, and 60's. That street doesn't exist any more, just like my own street in Everton which ran between Breck Rd and Whitefield Rd, and was demolished in the 60's due to slum clearance. By chance I drove up Breck Rd a few years ago. It was full of boarded up shops or shops with foreign names above, and looked really run down. A far cry from when I was a lad and it was our main shopping area, and was well-kept and thriving. I'm sorry but "multiculturalism", combined with hard Left-wing councils (remember Derek Hatten?) have got an awful lot to answer for.
Those empty houses could be a sanctuary if made habitable for homeless people as a means for them to get an address for benefits, for rehabilitation for some.
Hi Billy, it's really sad to see how rundown and deprived those areas are. The amount of rubbish on the streets and in front gardens is a real eyesore. On a more positive note, the young lad who gave you a piece of Chicken 🍗, what a kind lad he was!. It did make me smile when you showed him having a barbecue in this weather. 😃💯 Anyway Billy, thanks for another great vid!. John. 👍
I don't think lodge lane is 1 of the worst places I can think of alot more places that don't hold the same love and affection lodgy looks 2 me like most intermingle and give zz me a relaxed feel i think that there is more anger and aggression from certain corcazion folk❤😊😊
Used to go to school with a lad who lived in Wendell Street. First time I ever got pissed was in his house when I was 15. It was run down then but in the last 10 years or so it's been totally destroyed. Gotta blame the Council for it I guess.
I worked in Liverpool for just over a year always use to go to Lodge Lane for a sawarma lamb kebab lovely food I miss Liverpool and its people had some good times there fond memories
When I was a kid I found a diamond engagement ring in the street took it to the police station and they gave it back to the girl who lost it who was Chinese from the local chippy. That is how normal people behave and you contributed to making your city shit. That was in Dingle mate not some posh area
There was a murder in that area in 1905, think it was quite well known at the time. A girl named Elizabeth Peers was murdered and her body was dumped in Cullen Street. Her family lived at 64 Wendell Street but the parents were alcoholics. They sent her to the shop late at night so it was no wonder. The killer was never caught either.
Mate the bizzies did that to us, not far from there, around the same time but it was a phone shop. Probably same two lads, popping up everywhere, giving ridiculously good deals on these phones. I was the youngest in our group and I was the only one that was saying that they weren't right. They asked me to get them an ounce of sniff but I told them I wasn't a drug dealer, they know I wasn't and they know the people I know so why were they asking me. I told my mates but they didn't listen and about 15 of them went jail. I was young and naive and didn't know that they were bizzies but from the beginning I hated them because they were too friendly, popping up in our gym and our boozer - always trying to get me in that shop. I thought they was queer or something like that but they probably saw me as the weak link. People from good families who you probably know got caught up in that one.
Class content ... no what would be good if a lad from newcastle and a lad from liverpool went to eachothers roughest places in liverpool and Newcastle and compare them. Been from newcastle myself theres some naughty naughty places in newcastle that would be good content 👍
The council want to stop charging for bulkie bob service this is why people are dumping all over the place. It cost me 40 pound to get bulkie bob. And the homes that are boarded up it a waste coz they could be council homes for people that need them keep up the good work Billy love watching the pod cast.
used to live opposite the Asda, where i stayed there was fireworks being thrown down the street on a nightly basis. Im happy my best mate's moved to the Georgian quarter.
Good stuff Billy, I like your out and about content and seeing the rougher parts of town from a local who isn't just looking down their nose

Thank you billy great videos in my Liverpool home 😊don’t hear people singing that anymore billy and no matter what life threw at us we stuck together please keep doing these videos people need to remember how we was they’ve always wanted to break us down and I think it’s devastating 😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
I lived in Holmes Street from 1957 to 1960 from birth to 3 years old. I've done videos on the area myself. It was never like this back then, as others have said although it was a poor area, people had pride in their homes. I have a photo of Holmes Street from around 1999-2000 and there was some graffiti but nothing like it is now. So it's turned into a shit tip in the last 20 years. Great video Billy!
All these empty houses and there's people sleeping on the streets, shameful.its not right.
Those victorian houses looked after will last another 100 years. Sad so many people in b+b waiting for a home. Councils need to buy up the houses thay could get grants to make them liveable again.
What are you talking about? England has a good social welfare, there are countries where people get 100 pounds a month from the state and that's it, people in England don't appreciate what they get and don't want to work that's why they sleep on the streets, everyone here wants everything for free with taxpayers' money, so explain to me why we have to work for these people because they are too lazy to start any job? Then you meet such people on the street and they are still rude or aggressive to you and you pay them with your taxes for alcohol, weed and Netflix. I have a neighbor across the street, she got a new, freshly built house from the Council, after 2 years she turned this house into a ruin, there is a garbage can in front of the house and rats appeared, the girl doesn't work because why? We will pay for everything, right? But it's time for parties, drugs, alcohol always has it, come down to earth, every person has their own life in their hands, if you do nothing in your life, you have no goals, you end up on the street, of course I'm not talking about everyone but in most cases that's how it is.
@Muflinn agree. But to have decent housing going to waste that just needs a referb is sad. Same where we live with the new builds. In days gone by first home given by council was a flat or maisonette then after so many years if you've look after your property you could go on a housing list for a house if you wanted to. What the problem is most councils don't own any houseing stock anymore. They sold them years ago. It's housing associations now for most towns or cities. For some, the house associations are not located where they own the housing, so know nothing of the problems when giving out like they do. Gone are the days were nice housing estates where everyone appreciated having a nice house with a garden in a nice area. Because it took that long to receive one. Not only did you have to live in a flat or maisonette first. Then you went on a list for a house which could take many years.
@@Muflinnthing is when Councils decide to give Neighbourhoods a total refurb the Natives usually do the same to the new houses built for them, same shit different day seen it too many times in my life to know that won't ever change unless people change.

I lived off Devonshire road L8 back in the late 50s my parents ashes are in Smithdown Cemetery. Sad way things have changed but not for the better ...Thanks Billy good vid
We know why its gone to shits ville Billy. Wendell St and the streets around it are now known as Little Romania.

I'm originally from Garston but my dad had a garage on Northumberland Street in the 80s so this is a trip down memory lane for me. When I was a kid maybe about 10 or 11 years old I used to get the bus on my own from Garston to the ice rink on Prescot Road in Kensington I think it was the number 26 or 27 bus which used to go down Sheil Road and this was sometimes late at night too. Looking back I can't believe that I did that because you wouldn't do it nowadays that's for sure! You don't think of these things though when you're young and reckless! Thanks Billy I hope that you make more of these films. Best wishes to you ❤👍🙂
Different part of l8
not like when I was a kid , all the mothers would be out brushing the street , scubbing the step, polishing the door knocker with the brasso and walking up to the wash house on lodgy, it was always rough because it was old but our mothers looked after our homes
Brasso 👌🏻
@@jayl0151 i used to shine up me raleigh chopper bicycle wheel rims using brasso lol.
💯 people used to take pride on their houses, they were their little palaces!
I used to live in Thornycroft road Bill, my nan would scrub step and brasso door knocker.

Right on the doorstep of the city centre that tourists rave about but what’s the point of a brilliant town centre if 75% of the rest of the city is an absolute shit hole? bootle, Kenny, anfield, Walton, wavo, crocky, tocky, noggzy, tuebrook, kirkdale, page moss, dovey, canny farm, Fairfield etc etc etc all poverty stricken, run down and underfunded yet the council keeps throwing money at town
Well said fella! Look at anfield ground, tourists on way there must think it's rough as toast. We seen on news how money is used by council etc. Not correctly for sure.

My nan had a shop on north hill street long before I was born it was very well known at the time. My Grandad had clubs in town. Most of my family grew up in L8 and they have good memories of the old neighbourhood and neighbours. They wouldn't recognise the place or the people now. What a shame
For anyone who wonders how quickly this area went downhill .... Google street view provides the answer. The street featured here is around "Holmes Street", Liverpool. The history option using street view reveals how the place looked as recently as September 2008. At that point in time it was an everyday traditional terraced area. It's galling to fast-forward to latest (August 2022) and see the degree of degeneration that happened in just a few years.
Just looking on Street View now and August 2022 there's a guy sat outside his house on a camping chair with so much litter on the street in front of him. The people who live there need to take responsibility for their area, get some gloves and get a bag and start picking it up. The mentality of "hey why don't we all get together and clean up where we live" just doesn't exist with some people.
Agreed, sadly it doesn't take many people intent on trashing the area to make those who care give up (and leave). It starts to look like we're witnessing the formation of new "sink estates" caused by (possibly council) dumping of unwanted people into specific neighbourhoods. @@Met182
Wow i just did that, it;s insane compared to 2008

If the council sell theses houses for £1.00 like they did a few years ago , all the empty houses will sell and be renovated as a requirement.
They sold them to personal friends of council employees ...these will be ear marked for more immigrants
Was just thinking the same

I had a pal who lived on Solway St, they built new houses in the late 70's.
My nan lived on Falkner Estate in the 70's, round the corner from the red duster pub. Lots of good memories about that estate
Cheers Billy. Alot of these areas you record that you used to frequent, you often say they've changed, but don't say for the better or worse 👍.
Fxxking bbq lol its snowing here in Bradford. 😂😂
You can tell how rough it is by how fast billys walking
Its safe there

Dad grew up in Dingle Vale near there, also 3 of my grandparents were from Liverpool 8. We emigrated to Australia in 1980 and are very grateful. Watching the current violence with great concern.
Great presentation Billy, facts and no bull.
Reminds me of villages around the towns in west yorkshire in seventies, on it was rougher then packs of up to 20 dogs roaming around , abandoned cars, derelict buildings for years.
That's a step up if you're arriving from Romania, Somalia, Afghanistan or any other similar shithole that we've imported the millions of immigrants from across the UK. So really, what else can we expect. L8, both the Dingle side and the Parliament Street side, used to be a community of Liverpool people, some black some white, and it wasnt that long ago. Now it's just somewhere to avoid while you to get to where you're going. An indictment of the so-called governments, local and national, across the past 40 years.
When someone says its become diverse they actually mean its been turned into the place gimmigrants fled ftom
go fly your rainbow out of here
The disease on the civilised.
Diverse just means your culture is eroding or gone, the newcomers want TEIR culture ,I don't mean to sound mean but thats the harsh truth in many cases.
Cooking in the street. Can’t believe this
The whole of liverpools rough nowadays! Everywhere will be like kenny and lodgy soon enough!
They are moving everyone out from runcorn to places like Kenny these days as there is no housing left to go around. That's why runcorn and widnes joined the LIVERPOOL REGION,so they can get rid of everyone on the housing lists that's single looking for a flat, they will offer you a flat in Kenny it's take it or leave it and get nothing 😂 they tried putting me up to go Kenny in a flat with a housing deposit bond from the council to put on a flat .
I already know a few ppl from runcorn that moved to Kenny 😂
@@FaceFcukprobably with flats also is who moves inn them ? People seem to not have respect 😞
Not just Liverpool the whole country is sliding down the pan quicker than diarrhoea I'm 61 now and I'm telling you I've never seen anything like it even places like Plymouth and Bournemouth are are heading for the pan government couldn't care less

Billy i would love to see you walk down Scotland road china st that is where my family lived great show ❤
I was from Birkenhead,they have destroyed it totally,fckng so sad what they have done to our communities
Honestly parts of Liverpool now resemble rough and run down parts of Baltimore and Philadelphia in the U.S, luckily even the roughest parts of Liverpool doesnt have the same level of gun crime as both those cities though.
And Detroit.
@@stephensmith799 Detroit is very run down in parts but it doesnt have the same style of houses as in Philly and Baltimore. Philadelphia and Baltimore as they are on the East Coast, have the terraced houses in a very similar style to in Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds. Alot of the houses in inner city Philadelphia especially are boarded up like they are in more deprived parts of Liverpool.
@@rjflores438 it’s tragic. Liverpool has lost half its population since the mid 1960s, mostly I think to reduction in port activity and containerisation. Although I wax a Remainer, I admit that joining the EU wasn’t good for Liverpool whose trade was mostly to and from non-EU countries and especially former British colonies such as New Zealand and Australia. Perhaps a genuine Liverpudlian can confirm this🤔
I lived in Philly for a year. Yes, some bits are miles worse than here....and they're allowed guns to boot.
id not long left school and my first job was renovating these houses I worked my arse out it saddens me to see this . There’s many deprived areas of Liverpool now and this annoys me
Brother I moved to blakelaw Newcastle from down south wow 😮 I can't find any joy in the whole council estate drugs drink mental health issues homelessness it's very sad humanity has lost all hope hear.Thank you for your video
I moved out 25 years ago, I feel sad at the way it has gone. All that sense of community has gone by the looks of it. Crewe is the same its full of Eastern Europeans, and it is now in complete terminal decline. What's left of the town centre is boarded up now.

Town is buzzing with lots of dough floating about but 1 mile out the people are suffering and it's only going to get worse.
Sad to see!
Been like that since and before the big dig of 2000 !!
A lot of this is the consequences of big brown envelopes being given out, back in the Mid 1980,s to certain Liverpudlian individuals in power !!
A simple example is the number of Mancunian scaffold company's winning contracts for a lot of the new student high rises since the late 1990’s 🤔🤔🤔
Cheers there Billy-I enjoyed that mate. It's seen better days eh? I lived in your town going back to 89-early 90's. I first went into Granby to score - I remember a crew of black guys sorting me out. My mate was freaking but I was cool with em. Later, I spotted em in a club and they turned to me saying, 'safe.' Of course it could have been different with a different crew but I took my risks. During my time I'd also get sorted down the Heights at Netherley and I would party at the Quad. My closest party crew though was Grin Up North and DJ Vertigo. I had an awesome time in Liverpool. It would be the central influence in me and my dear late twin brother Paul doing raves in Mid Wales. Yeah, a tough town but it inspired me - I met so many great people. It's in my upcoming book, 'The Sight of Two' about twins in small town England. I'm from Hereford although my family were the fighting kind, namely the regiment SAS, which is also in the book. I love your podcasts mate - it's real and full of spirit, real life and good will. We too got clean and I now spend my time in other wild places outdoors. Take care out there. Mark
So sad how its gone rnd there,i had a few mates who lived in wendel street back in the day,me dad used to bevvy in the mulliner pub opposite,is it still there billy? Do you remember the kwiky at the top of smithdiwn rd in the 80s?i remember it getting trashed in the riots .
Area that time forgot. Great content Billy.
Thanks mate, I enjoy these walk and talks. 👍
The Romanians has destroyed it unfortunately its the same with parts of Kensington as well but not as bad
There not bothered about the areas there staying in. Because thay have buildings back home claiming benefits over here for children that are not here. Sending the money back home building luxury new houses. They'll look after the 1s back home. There to move back to.
Sweden is a great example of what's coming. Once was the cleanest, safest country... Now one of the most dangerous, with no go zones 😅 they call them mini Mogadishu
The left wing mentality is a disease.
I'm a taxi driver in Liverpool got a job the other week the old dear with her daughter asked if I fancied a game of furniture bingo she went for a fridge three piece suite and a mattress all.left in her terraced street she was right disgusting how areas are left to rot because of cultural enrichment
In birkenhead,they put a skip at the end of some streets,once a fortnight, stops all this dumping and tipping,very simple solution.maybe someone should tell liverpool city council.
They was a few years ago in Fairfield,they were full to the brim in half an hour,.
Our local MP does the same for our local roads. Also they will collect things for those who need items taken the tip. I am Liverpool. Not a chance would our Liverpool Council do that.
No point , the Liverpool homeless would set up shop in the skip 🤔🤔🤔
All the people giving negative comments are all wrong
I personally owned 5 house in this area and yes I don't rent to Romanias because they took the piss in the past. However most of these house were owed by Riverside and as the flood of Romanias settle and Riverside side existing tenants left the houses were sold off 1 by 1 I have tenants that are hard working and put yp living there the Romanias have been purposely house here by the council as majority of houses boarded up are perfect inside
Coucill to blame
*Good to see you doing what you do best lad*
I live facing that wall theryl is a grass I've lived around here since 1981 so I remember this was a good area. But I will say I go in close. My door and I have good neighbours , is so sad to see this area like this, I believe if the people around here was educated to how we r expected to live then maybe ? We can change this area
I lived around those ways a few times. It's when I realised that multiculturalism dosnt work and stopped being a lefty after living among it
Not many want to face those facts mate. Everyone fears the race card. It's not racist though to want our towns and cities to look and feel English. Nobody would visit Pakistan for example and expect to see an ever increasing white population change to the demographic would they but it seems to be that it has to be acceptable the other way round for us. It's not the fault of the people looking for new lives and a place to prosper, it's successive governments that are the problem. Both left and right have made a big mistake and the worst part is, it looks deliberate on their part.
@@stukyu The problem is that our political system is short term. Every 4 years the MP's all want to be seen to be good for society and spend on stuff that makes them look good shirt term. No-one wants to tackle tough issues that take time and money to fix such as helping immigrants bed into our society and understand our way of life. Immigrants get shoved into the same area with little or no education regarding our way of life and help in terms of education generally and training to get a job. This leaves them skint and bored so what are they going to do? Exactly the same thing happened to Irish Catholics in the 19th century and happened again with Caribbean folks in the 1950's. Similar has also happened with Asians in Leicester, Brum, Bradford and London.
The MP's haven't been useless deliberately, it's our system which hasn't helped things!
@@KryptonitetoallBS So at what point do you decide there are enough immigrants? Keep going until there no indigenous English left ? Educating immigrants will not alter the current trajectory which is at an ever increasing rate diluting our own race and culture. If voting actually worked and was democratic we would not have it. That is why the political system always achieves VERY long term goals because the entire voting and political charade is just a veneer of democracy to keep us placid and on the hamster wheel of believing in the process and the eternal conflict of left v right.
@@KryptonitetoallBS short term???? so why has the damaging diversity policy continued over 20 years, its deliberate from the WEF tory party carrying on and being replaced by the WEF labour party, nobody want to tackle the tough issues??? they are purposely creating the issues. there is NO MANDATE for mass immigration so why try and fix the consequences when we can fix the main problem and heavily reducing immigration.
Thought provoking. ... cheers Billy
Just stumbled on this podcast.. Brilliant... Brings back great memories.. I'm from pwllheli in Wales..my mams a scouser. We used to go to my mams sisters for holidays. To visit our cousins.. And our aunty pat and uncle Eddie... In Lawrence Road... In the late 70s early 80s I used to love it... There was a big laundry there and a railway bridge at the end of the street.. Exciting for us kids from a small town... There was a Chinese chippy there.. I went in asked how much for chips...... Lady behind the counter shouts 1 chip 1p...😂.. It was rough there but we loved it... Lots of love to our cousins Eddie Julie tony Sharon and Yvonne... Sconhead ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My uncle Brian, who lived in underley Street, my Mum was born there, we grew up there I went to Tiber Street primary school. Anyway for some unknown reason, my uncle Brian smashed the windows of such cop station on Lawrence Road and got nicked. I don't know when it shut. We used to go to Mrs. grays cafe with my Nan on Earle Road, which is a bit Picton road and the high street there's nothing between them. Thanks for taking me back! ❤

Worked around there for a local contractor. Some good Scousers around there but this new crowd they are moving in will cause major problems for the area in the future. Wait and see.
Billy you need to start doing the local pubs shops takeaways restaurants and histories again. You get loads of stories from the locals. Remember drinking in the Boundary full of characters
Is he allowed drink?😱
Some of those houses on Rightmove for 80K. No chance they will get 5k. Communities need to protest the council to get these empty one renovated. Shocking to see.
The Asda on smithdown rd is on the site of the old Sefton general hospital and the old Victorian workhouse and mental asylum where the inmates were officially known as “idiots”. Nice one Billy lad. 👍
I voted for open borders and multiculturalism. Lol, only joking, nobody did, but it was hoisted upon us anyway.
Yep thats why that areas a sh.ite hole thete loads of little hell holes like that all over the country and they all have one thing in common
My two cousins lived in Moreton St, and attended nearby Welly' Rd school. It was nice there back in the 50's, and 60's. That street doesn't exist any more, just like my own street in Everton which ran between Breck Rd and Whitefield Rd, and was demolished in the 60's due to slum clearance. By chance I drove up Breck Rd a few years ago. It was full of boarded up shops or shops with foreign names above, and looked really run down. A far cry from when I was a lad and it was our main shopping area, and was well-kept and thriving. I'm sorry but "multiculturalism", combined with hard Left-wing councils (remember Derek Hatten?) have got an awful lot to answer for.
Agreed John, Breck road has changed massively even since i lived there ( Queens Road) back in 1982-1990 🤔🤔🤔
With the risk of upsetting the lefties....It did take a nose dive when a lot Romany moved in
Sad to think there’s hundreds probably thousands living on the streets in Liverpool and all those house’s lying empty 🤷🏽♂️
i love liverpool pubs those near lime street railway station COOPERS is my best one.
Those empty houses could be a sanctuary if made habitable for homeless people as a means for them to get an address for benefits, for rehabilitation for some.
It's wrecked because of the new arrivals that live there
Great Content Bill 💯
Hi Billy, it's really sad to see how rundown and deprived those areas are. The amount of rubbish on the streets and in front gardens is a real eyesore. On a more positive note, the young lad who gave you a piece of Chicken 🍗, what a kind lad he was!. It did make me smile when you showed him having a barbecue in this weather. 😃💯 Anyway Billy, thanks for another great vid!. John. 👍

Same in Mancstan were i grew up
I’m convinced The whole north of England just looks the same
Raw meat was all in street on floor, no wonder but to them people it's probably royalty to where they from
Used to go to school with a lad who lived in Wendell Street. First time I ever got pissed was in his house when I was 15. It was run down then but in the last 10 years or so it's been totally destroyed. Gotta blame the Council for it I guess.
I worked in Liverpool for just over a year always use to go to Lodge Lane for a sawarma lamb kebab lovely food I miss Liverpool and its people had some good times there fond memories
When I was a kid I found a diamond engagement ring in the street took it to the police station and they gave it back to the girl who lost it who was Chinese from the local chippy. That is how normal people behave and you contributed to making your city shit. That was in Dingle mate not some posh area
There was a murder in that area in 1905, think it was quite well known at the time. A girl named Elizabeth Peers was murdered and her body was dumped in Cullen Street. Her family lived at 64 Wendell Street but the parents were alcoholics. They sent her to the shop late at night so it was no wonder. The killer was never caught either.
Mate the bizzies did that to us, not far from there, around the same time but it was a phone shop. Probably same two lads, popping up everywhere, giving ridiculously good deals on these phones. I was the youngest in our group and I was the only one that was saying that they weren't right. They asked me to get them an ounce of sniff but I told them I wasn't a drug dealer, they know I wasn't and they know the people I know so why were they asking me. I told my mates but they didn't listen and about 15 of them went jail. I was young and naive and didn't know that they were bizzies but from the beginning I hated them because they were too friendly, popping up in our gym and our boozer - always trying to get me in that shop. I thought they was queer or something like that but they probably saw me as the weak link. People from good families who you probably know got caught up in that one.
Thatcher & the Sun was scared of a Marxist element in Liverpool 💫🤨

And the homes that are boarded up it a waste coz they could be council homes for people that need them keep up the good work Billy love watching the pod cast.
I agree with a lot of what you have said. Didn't the Council,a few years ago,sell houses in Liverpool for a pound?

used to live opposite the Asda, where i stayed there was fireworks being thrown down the street on a nightly basis. Im happy my best mate's moved to the Georgian quarter.
