I was a bus conductor and then a bus driver at prince alfred rd depot or as we called it penny lane From 1964 to1966 on the routes 61 79 and 5, great memories. Was a hackney taxi driver 1974 what a great job that was on the late shifts 7 through to 4 in the morning Friday/Saturday nights just great times i could tell some stories ,i am a scouser born 1943 lived in dinorben street of top end parliament street liverpool also lived in myrtle gardens from 1954 through to 64. What a city. 🤠🤠🤠. Watching this video primo.
Omg me an my family lived in Morris Dean in Prince Alfred Road I loved that house would move back tomorrow the mad thing was when we first moved on it took us a while to get used to the buses an then when it closed we couldent sleep as it was to quiet iv always said I'd move back to that house x
My dad worked on the docks in 60's, Mum was doing her nurse training at a convent in Birkenhead. They eventually met at a local hospital in Cheshire, married & I was the first of three in 1968. Mum always said she had a feeling she would marry a scouser! I too married a scouser in 2011, divorced by 2022 . I've always loved liverpool, the people the buildings, what's left of the terrace houses, the docks where dad & grandad worked. Gorgeous place, gorgeous people!!

What a cracking film of a Liverpool when there was hope and optimism. I left school in the mid 1960s and recall the city centre as it was back then, having worked in it. The array of sandwich bars, where you could get any sarnie on white bread, unlike today. The luncheon vouchers you could use at the Kong Nam Chinese, the top of Lord Street that many queued on the stairs for the businessman's lunch. when based in Victoria Street it was vibrant with offices, hairdressers, cafes, restaurants, banks and pubs. I walked along Victoria Street recently at midday, in fine weather. and it was like a ghost town One of the presenters Johnny Kennedy used to be a regular on the local BBC in the 1980s Bob Wooller mentions the value of money back then. In 1968 my take home pay was £9. That seemed to go an awful long way.
My dad was an ambulance driver in Stanhope street, then worked for SPD, I used to go out with him on delivery until I started school in 1968 happy days 😢
Pity that the football, fans disrespect the national anthem. I think they let the self's down,I don't agree with them about the government letting them down, I grew up in Manchester, and we too felt ignored by the government and the south of England,there not the only victims, I was brought up in a slum as well. But I would never disrespect my own national anthem. Make up you mind Liverpool are you Irish or English. Or is it only when it suits you.
