When you asked "anyone know what this was?" on the Strand, I think it possibly could have been the goree warehouses. I'm not certain but it's a possibility.
Love your video. Just one point. You show the landing stage sunk. This was not the old landing stage. A new one was brought in made of concrete, and over a period of time water was seeping in and it just sank. Apparently, a Ferry was approaching the landing stage and they could see it getting low in the water, and turned around and went back to the Wirral side.This happened twice. No storm damage. The old stage was the best
As a very young boy my farther took me regularly on trips on the over head railway from the pierhead so Seaforth. Looking back now I have two questions, one why did Liverpool council not step in to pay for the repair's or try to obtain funds from the Government at the rime?? two where did the money go that was made for those hundreds of tons of scrap metal???
Excellent Vlog and keep up the great work. Also in the comments is one halfway down from a Viewer CN6219. This person is a bully, why mention about the Vloggers spelling and why mention they have travelled the word. There comment about this matter has no relevance but to make them look big. Out of 8 billion people in the world most of us have traveled the world So mentioning this does not make them anything special but to themselves. Sorry I wrote this but I hate bullying and people who think they are above the rest of us. As my Granny always said” we all go the toilet and do the same thing in there, even kings and queens”.
Fascinating video, unfortunately spoiled by your spelling ... it gives reinforcement to an inappropriate stereotyping that we, as a city receive. I love the fact that you have taken the time to create, but with little more spell checking it would have been superb. Before the critics hound on me, I too am from Liverpool (well Litherland actually) - travelled the world professionally and returned to retire. I love the City.
1st leave the poor person alone. They have gone out of their way to make this Vlog. 2nd why mention you have travelled the world it has no relevance to this subject but to make yourself look bigger. I have travelled the world not for work but for leisure but so what. Out of 8 billion people in the world most have travelled the world you’re not special. 3rd to criticise a person on their spelling you must get great pleasure from this or you was bullied in your life or childhood you find this to be the case when a person reaches adulthood they take great pleasure in pointing out other peoples faults.
@@561jeffkelly Some points. Yes I make the spelling comment BECAUSE everything else was so professional. I spend more time and effort congratulating their work. I then say I travelled professionally (I was paid to travel to work rather than visit and enjoy) and given the options the World has to offer was still more than happy to express the preference as to where I retired because I love our city. As much as I have been willing to listen to your feedback perhaps you might listen to mine. Please go the extra mile and try to comprehend rather than just read. I am guessing you might have had to coach individuals in the past were it’s important to provide points of improvement first but frame it so that as you complete the interaction you are more positive focused. Now re-read my post and recognise it for what it was saying it was really good enjoyable constructed with love and enthusiasm that was reflected in the published piece. At no stage did I make the assumptions you did. Nor did I attempt to make pithy insults. I am however pleased that you took the time to write.

Interesting fact or myth. At one time, perhaps 100 years ago The custom House in Liverpool brought in the most Income for the Government. Similarly in more recent times, only about 100 metres from that same location when the MoD was spending 5 per cent of GDP, it could be that a substantial part of UK government’s expenditure was paid from Liverpool
The building on The Strand near to what used to be called Cunard building, I do remember in about 1974 there was a surface car park there, in the middle of the Strand. Where was The Custom House? Near there?
Fascinating.this holds so many memories of places long gone but still so familiar.its difficult to explain as I never experienced these locations directly,just knowing of them,walking past and so on. A really great video thank you
The Photo Anybody know what this was i think it was the Goree Piazza the part still standing was Tom Halls a famous dockside pub along the Dock side of the Buildind was an arched walkway.there was a Lkegend that in the Cellars of the pub were Manacles on the walls reputed to be for keeping Slaves in t5he 17/1800s this could not be true because Slavery was never legal in Britain at that time and the saying was if ever a Slave ship came into Liverpool if the Slave eve43r managed to get ashore he would be free,,but i dont think slave Ships ever came into Liverpool. i forgot to say the name Goree Piazza was the name of the Port in Africa where Slaves were taken from.so perhaps thats why the Legend Grew.
I know this from from a few years ago but just letting you know the part where you said what was this in middle of the strand that was originally the Goree Warehouses which stood in the middle of what is today the busy road named the strand. Goree came from the name in Africa to do with the slave trade although the warehouses weren’t built until years after the slave trade had finished and also no slaves ever came to Liverpool it was the ships that went out from Liverpool to the places like Africa where they were to America. The Goree warehouses had a fire in the 1800s and were then rebuilt but where then badly damaged in the blitz of 1941 in Liverpool and were then totally demolished in the 1950s as is shown on that photo. Hope that helps.
