As a kid back in early seventies was up the top in the wind with my best mate, moved to Ireland many years ago but great to follow your video's brings back many memories.👍
1977. 50 p fee to enter & that viewing deck was not covered ! also they had fixed viewing binoculars placed all around that were on a timer , cost 5p for approximately 5 minutes viewing .
I left the greatest city 30 odd years ago looking for work so it’s always great to see footage like this. Can remember first going up the tower when I was about 9 or 10 with my older brother. Cost about 20 pence back in the day! 💙
I went to the beacon when it was a revolving restaurant, the views are always brilliant no matter what the weather. Took my nephews when they were small & they loved it, trying to pick out the places
Nice video mate. Lovely times an memories with the family. Good to see you kept safe in the storms! Got took there as a kid and might well take my lot after seeing this. Keep them coming bud 👍🏻
Great video 👍 Nice to see your family as well, great memories for sure. Another vantage point worth visiting in Liverpool is at the top of Liverpool's Anglican cathedral, highly recommend that as well 👍
I went a couple of times with mum and dad when it was a revolving restaurant in the 70’s. You would go the toilet and have to find your table as it moved around. 👍🏻😀
That what you and your family did together is beautiful keep it up my kids are all grown uo now and things like what you are doing i miss hat off to you and youre wife Sir
Wonderful day out for all the family.Best wishes.We recommend The liver Buildings is a good day out lot of steps there’s lift as well.Thank you lovely family.🌈🌈🌈🌈☘️☘️☘️☘️🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️💯💯💯💯💯
I worked for 30 years in that large building once called JM centre (littlewoods) i noticed you had church organ music at the start,my dad worked all over Africa installing organs in Churces and also at Prince charles school Gordonstoon,Charles came to watch every day he said. His company Rushworths imported The Beatles first guitars from Germany,richenbachers. My mum was in mI6 based in Cressington where the French resistance was organised from
I am a Chinese and I live in America now. I started supporting Liverpool soccer team when I am in high school. Kenny Dalglish was still a player. I will visit Liverpool this Summer. After Anfield, I will visit this tower. Thanks for your video
Mr drone lovely family!lived here all my life and never been up the tower restraint as we know it!goin up soon tho and the liver building tour!do the liver tour Mr drone
Cool video, have you ever gone up to the Tower in the Anglican cathederal in Liverpool? Might be too much for the kids as its 108 steps and 2 lifts but the view at the top is equally as stunning but a lot windier!
The one and only time I went up there was in the Autumn of 1980 - back then there was a restaurant at the top and it revolved slowly so you got to see the whole panorama while sitting at your table.
Great video. A schoolmate and I went up around 1985 and had magnificent views on a clear day. The upper level was open air and the lower level was slowly revolving. Wasn't there three revolution speeds 1, 2 or 3 rp/h? Distinctly remember watching the join in the floor where the moving outer section slid past the inner stationary section. Still have my 30p ticket from that memorable day.
As well as a restaurant and a snack bar at the top of the tower there was also a restaurant on the ground, a sort of beefeater type. One day myself and a few mates went in to have a posh meal. After lookin at the menu you could order a starter, main and a desert. My mate Billy ordered a soup and the waitress asked would he like anything else. He replied 'yeah a couple of butties'.
That use to be the buck rogers restaurant to in 84 it revolved, i went up it as a kid my sister worked there i also went on the very top above where you are
My dad (now sadly passed away ) took me up on to the very top long before it became the radio city tower. It wasn't too bad a day ( what i can remember of it) a bit blowy but, not too bad. As it was my only time i went up there i felt a bit nervous but, my dad tried to assure me i was safe as it also had a well reinforced about 9 ft or so safety perimeter all the way around it. It was open to the elements of the weather. & the resturant was just a few feet below us that was on a slow rotating turntable Not that i ever went there. But, as far as i am aware of the last time i checked no-one was allowed up there apart from the son called DJ's security & any other work crew. & that was just before we had our first lock down So, if things have changed since fine. But, if anyone knows the prices please forward or inform myself as i would very much like to take my terrified G.F up to the observation deck. & no i do myself have a fear of heights aswell & yet i have flown & i absdolutely ❤💕💓 it. ( work that out 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 no i can't either) when i was in my mid to late teens (no g.f then) 😉
My wife and I shall be visiting Liverpool soon, so we are trying to plan what to see and do while we are there. Not sure whether to go up the Radio City Tower at £7.50 each, or Manchester Cathedral Tower at £7.00 each ... surely one of them is plenty to see the sights of Liverpool. Which one do you think offers the better views ?
not been up the Beacon since I was a kid... It was a revolving restaurant back then. Might have to do it again. I've been up the CN Tower twice, so should be a cake walk. Actually... all of those visits.... a meal was eaten. Theme there, i'm a greedy sod.
@@misterdroneuk i remember going with my dad when it was a restaurant and it spun round in the middle brought back memories i will be taking my son after seeing your vid thanks again
Another great video, keep them coming 👍👍👍
Great video. Thanks for posting. Lovely to see you and the family. COYB.
I used to go up there every Saturday with my mate's in the early 70,s , they had a cafe there, we used to get a coffee or tea, great memories.
That’s on the to do list in the spring with the liver building tour . Love Liverpool 😍😍🧱👍🏽
Thanks Mr Drone. I must visit St Johns Beacon. What a wonderful family you have.
Lovely video … lovely family … good luck MD … 🔆🙂🔆

20p really? Wow
20 pence buys you nothing now! Yes, I left Liverpool some 30 years ago to find work elsewhere. Now I am back.
Yes, did the same, now in Oz but love home . Might be home again one day
Brilliant video. Lovely family. Was in Liverpool Saturday, and up the tower. Love Liverpool and it's people. I go regularly. Amazing place. Tbanx.

Great stuff buddy, makes me home sick especially with all the land marks in view , 😉💪
I live in Northern Ireland and have walked past it loads of times when over for EFC matches but never realised you could go up it! Next time for sure.
It’s not always open I don’t think Nicholas but definitely check next time you are over. Website is stjohnsbeacon.co.uk
@@misterdroneuk Great thanks - I will definitely check that out (although I'm surprised they let us Everton fans up there at the moment lol)

Wow that’s amazing. Open air floor too 😱. If you are on Instagram or Facebook I’d love to see the 30p ticket

Was taken there early seventies when it was a revolving restaurant with my gandparents. Food was average but pricy.
That use to be the buck rogers restaurant to in 84 it revolved, i went up it as a kid my sister worked there i also went on the very top above where you are
Surprised IT was empty. THX for sharing
There were a few before & after but they seemed to control time slots quite well.
I’m 9 years old and always wanted to visit the tower when ever I go in saint johns I look at the tower
Nice one mate 👍

Hi mate, thanks for sharing. It was £21 for a family ticket and I think it was around £6 per adult.
@@misterdroneuk Thanks but, i will try to double check it out for myself the adult cost P.P But, what you have said gives me a idea anyway.
My wife and I shall be visiting Liverpool soon, so we are trying to plan what to see and do while we are there. Not sure whether to go up the Radio City Tower at £7.50 each, or Manchester Cathedral Tower at £7.00 each ... surely one of them is plenty to see the sights of Liverpool. Which one do you think offers the better views ?
Is there anything else to do at the
St Johns Beacon Tower in Liverpool?
No just look around and see the views.
not been up the Beacon since I was a kid... It was a revolving restaurant back then. Might have to do it again. I've been up the CN Tower twice, so should be a cake walk. Actually... all of those visits.... a meal was eaten. Theme there, i'm a greedy sod.
On a clear day you can see Blackpool Tower & the Big one roller coaster.
Belter view. The view of Liverpool City is good also ;)
Little known fact of the beacon is it's function is actually a chimney.
I'm dizzy looking out 🤪
nice vid mate how much is it
It was £21 for a family pass
@@misterdroneuk i remember going with my dad when it was a restaurant and it spun round in the middle brought back memories i will be taking my son after seeing your vid thanks again
I also left Liverpool along time ago
How much is it to go up there mate
It was £21 for a family pass
My grandad did the plumbing on the tower when it first went up. I died on the job having a heart attack
great video but u need to sort the sound lad
It looks a little scary but having been on the 108th floor at the World Trade Centre in a similar way shouldn't be scary. I remember that swaying.
thats a shame audios not good,
Isn’t it?
Mic was under my coat so that’s why it isn’t perfect but it seems ok to me when I play it
@@misterdroneuk Definitely muffled sound, but neverthless a great video and one for the family archives!
@@misterdroneuk yeah a bit muffled, good video though,
Thanks
I like your Videos, however, the sound on this is Abysmal. Just like the Music you asked for peoples opinions on ! Just sayin’
Thanks Paul, I didn’t realise the sound on this was bad as it sounds ok when I played it back.
