My dad was born in 1929 - 2000 RIP dad. His father was the caretaker of the Union Cold Storage Depot on Williamson Square. Dad was one of 9 children.

Who remembers the label machine at Woodside, that made labels from a small strip of aluminium, it had a large pointer arrow with the alphabet on a dial

As someone who still works heavy horses it was interesting to see the use of horses in an indoor warehouse environment. Horses are quite useful in any environment where there is a risk of fire, such as an indoor lumber or cloth or chemical storage facility, a horse shod with rubber caulked shoes has no chance of striking a spark, and no chance of a spark from engine exhaust or even electric motor or battery sparks if flammable vapours are possible.

They were used for shunting railway wagons at Edgehill Sidings right up to the 1960s. The Big wagons were also horse drawn.

I remember in the Sixties, the ferries were 'chocker' and the Pier Head had double-decker gangways so that passegers could disembark quicker from both decks.

My grandparents came to Liverpool from Ireland in 1929 (to live). I have been doing my family history for a while and right now I am focusing on Liverpool around this period - just gathering information about the streets they lived in, which are all long gone now. So it's fascinating to watch how it all would have looked when they first arrived.

Thank you for sharing your video.

Absolutely fascinating! To look at the women's attire, it could be almost any big city in Europe or America in the 1920's "flapper era".

Some great shots of the Overhead Railway aka the Dockers’ umbrella.

A wonderful glimpse of a time long gone and nearly forgotten except for films like these. This is terrific. I'd never heard of the floating roadway--what and where was it?

I remember it at thePier Head. It allowed vehicles to get onto the Princes Landing Stage and access the IOM boats as well as the ferries. It started off the Strand in between the Atlantic Tower Hotel and St Nick’s church.

I think it's still there

At the Pier head where the boats came in it also was used for trains.

Love the smart attire and shoes. These were the days before hoodies n faded jeans took hold. Bet those clothes were all made from natural fibres too. Interesting video worth saving. Thanks ❤

It was still like that in the 1950s/60s. The tram system ran off 2 diesel engines which powered the entire system and was the biggest in the country.
