Lived in Creswick St .1945 to 1970. The council. destroyed liverpool...Should have modernised the houses.. ripped the heart out of liverpool. Sent the.people to Speke. Kirkby .Huyton . I loved living in Creswick st. Old times nice people. So sad .
Brought up in Salisbury Street then Ashfield Gardens tenements. I'm glad someone took the time in '65 to shoot the footage. I was 10. All of the older people filmed will be dead. Interesting that the bonfires of wood from the Victorian terraced houses would be anathema today. Built with Western Hemlock doors and Redwood flooring (cheap at the time) today it would all be reclaimed and sold for a good profit.
Can't believe someone took the time to film the area I was born and grew up in. Thought the first reel brought back memories but this reel had Steer street school on it. The first school I ever went to I was born and lived at 1 Garabaldi terrace in the shadow of the water tower, I climbed half way up that tower to see the lifeboat at the top, got stuck and was helped down by the fire engine crew. My mate told me the boat was there to save people incase the tower burst and the water flooded Liverpool, he was 3 years older than me so it must have been true. There used to be a cut through between the corporation yard and Maggie Street baths that I used to use to get to Steer Street school if I was running late and missed the bell. I also used Grants Gardens as a shortcut to get to my nans house, she and my grandad lived in Cobden street. So many childhood memories coming back Can't thank you enough for uploading these videos.
Thank you for bringing back so many forgotten memories, these areas were my stomping grounds as a nipper. I was born in Garabaldi terrace next to the waterworks and would roam all over the city unaccompanied and unafraid because everyone looked out for you, many a time I got lost and someone would take me to a policeman who would get me safely home. In some respects there was 'The good old days.
In an hotel in France Dave, totally amazed when I connected to RU-vid this ciné of yours appeared. Excellent work and memories of you and Harry. Much love ❤xxx
Apart from the Water Tower, of which there are but glimpses, the only building still recognisable today is The Grapes pub. It's now used for accommodation. There is little or no evidence of wartime bombing in this film. The open spaces and rubble are caused by demolition to clear slums. I recall this area well as I lived nearby and went to school on Breckfield road South.
I lived in Creswick st. 1945 to 1970. I use to go past the water works to Margaret St baths. It was a good area.plenty of laughs. Plenty of pubs. Good transport . I use to go the grafton. And the cabin to see the beatles. Our house was painted blue and white. We was everton supporters.
They where hard times but you new every one on the street. thanks for the the time travel, my long lost boyhood memories of Liverpool. My nan ran the Rydel St Pub in Anfield . As a lad many Football players paid a visit. 1961er thanks to the Photographer 🇦🇺👍
Born in mill Rd. Lived on Kenny. Went to Margie baths many times. Recall summer days going there with me mum and sister with other family members and friends. Walking through grants gardens a mass of colour of flowers. When I google it now it breaks my heart.
Historically important footage. You can still see lots of bomb damage from the war, (bomb sites were fantastic adventure playgrounds for the kids). It looks a gloomy, deprived place but you still see the men in suits and ties as was the norm back them.
@@DaveWatson-davlin No problem on the comments. I have a ton a comments to read and I haven't had that time. (Yeah right, like I do. lol) I'm still creating animations and while Steamspell Agent rendering, my latest animation Lazerhawk is in the works.
@@DaveWatson-davlin Not yet, just some music that has been uploaded a while back. I have a boat load of views on that. 10 or 20 at least. LOL. Steamspell Agent will be released in 2019 due to the rendering taking so long. It is the longest animation I ever made, around 7 to 8 minutes long. I'm re-rendering scenes so the movie could look better. Lazerhawk, I plan on sending that to film festivals. Steamspell Agent, probably not cause I showed a preview.
love this and a proper cup of tea from the pot with a china cup and saucer we don't know what were missing these days everything was fresh bought on the day

Just had a look at google earth because I've never heard of Aber street or Phoebe Anne street and neither exist anymore, does anyone know where abouts they were?
I've watched several films like these on you tube , but I've never seen anything of, or near, Portland St and Tatlock St, where my mother and her family lived till 1920. That's near St Silvester's Church.
