Beautifully done ! I'm a tour guide lecturer in the glorious city of Rouen, Normandy, and I find this video comes as close as it can get to a real tour, with an added value in the sounds and visuals. It was a nice walk in Liverpool and you managed to show its many faces and lives. Thank you for your many labours and efforts :)

A couple of buildings that would have been worth adding would include the Philharmonic Hall, Philharmonic Pub and Bluecoat Chambers. All are interesting architecturally but I appreciate that you cannot cover everything. We'll done, I loved it.

I too was born and brought up in Liverpool but left when I was 21. Can I, like a great many other Liverpudlians, thank you for doing a wonderful job. As a young lad I used to visit my grandmother who lived close to Cains Brewery and to get there I walked up and then down Park Road at the bottom of which (near the church) stood a building which showed evidence of the Blitz. Lots of holes in the stonework around the door. Near the TA barracks on Aigburth Road there used to be bunkers for anti aircraft guns which we used to play in as kids. In a similar way to the Thames estuary, Liverpool had anti aircraft towers erected in the estuary of the Mersey.

Absolutely brilliant episode Rob! And great to see you out of the capital. I lived there for a brief time 30 years ago and loved it. The Williamson Caves are fascinating - labyrinths built for no reason whatsoever and Rodney Street that links the two Cathedrals - the ultra modern Catholic one being completed before the Anglican is a fascinating street with the Philharmonic pub.

As an ex-pat scouser, I think your video did the place proud. Well done. The pub at the end of Admiral Gove is/was called The Empress and was featured on the Ringo Starr album Sentimental Journey. The Williamson Tunnels are a good place to visit and Birkenhead Park is the template tthat New York's Central Park was based. Also, if you do another visit Fort Perch Rock at New Brighton is an interesting place too.

Thanks so much Jenny, that means a lot to me coming from a Scouser ;-) I didn't realise that was the pub featured on the album! Very interesting.

I can’t believe how great it looks … all the soot has been blasted from the landmark buildings. I used to take potential girlfriends on dates to the Tate to show them how arty and cultured I was 😂 (whilst also conspicuously walking past the This Morning studio to try and get on the telly behind Richard and Judy).

I was surprised you didn’t include the Philharmonic Pub. Lovely pub with carved panel rooms. But more notable is that it is home the England’s only grade 2 urinals. Many of the pubs do have wonderful wood work. I was told by my family it was due to shipwrights needing work. Royal Albert Docks there is the twisty slides my uncle used to move certain goods from upper levels. No doubt your time is limited. There are some wonderful stories concerning pro and anti abolitionists in the city hall. Their portraits hang opposite one another. Also some lovely treasures on display. Wonderful video, plus I learned some things about my family home town.

@@Robslondon Should have made time to visit the Williamson tunnels. Looks absolutely fascinating. Did manage John and Paul's houses and of course Penny Lane, Strawberry Field and The Beatles Story. The Philharmonic pub is absolutely incredible. Next time up, will see more non Beatles related places.

Yeah, I wanted to see the Williamson Tunnels too but they have very limited opening times, I could get there unfortunately

Hey Rob so you managed to escape from the Big Smoke. Really enjoyed learning more about the 'pool somewhere i have visited just once many many years ago yet still feel I know due to my Brookside obsession. Its a bit of a trek from SE Kent but certainly would love to visit this unique city again and maybe try some scouse - the food that is!!!!!

@Robslondon 2 дня назад

Ha ha! Yep 😉 You need to get up there Jason, it’s a great city.

As always beautifully filmed Rob, informative and a whole lot of other superlatives to boot. I always wanted to travel on the DUCKMARINE after being at a Ross Noble gig and he did a 15 minute monologue on that particular form of transport. (It was able to travel from land to water and the reverse by all account) Sadly no longer in service.

@Robslondon 2 дня назад

Many thanks indeed :-) I went on a Duckmarine in London quite a few years back; yes it drove into the river (they were old WWII vehicles I believe). If I remember correctly, there was a serious incident with the one in Liverpool? It sank?

@mewsli 2 дня назад

@Robslondon yes, it did sink your memory serves you well. Another fun fact about Liveroool, it concerns the Albert Dock. I'm the episode where Uncle Albert goes missing, Del Boy and Dave ( I mean Rodney) go looking for him.Del Boy finds him at that very dock.

Hey Rob. I lived in Liverpool for most of the 80's and would move there again if the chance occurred. Now you kept it clean about the old Lewis's store you never mentioned about the Sir Jacob Epstein statue over the main door. It is officially called Liverpool Resurgent to celebrate Liverpool resurgence after WW11 but as the statue is of a naked male proudly displaying his errr maleness its usually refered to as 'Nobby Lewis' or 'Dickie Lewis' 😮 Now I knew about that obelisk styled tomb in the Rodney Street churchyard but not the supposed story. Rodney Street was Liverpool's equivalent of Harley Street in its past. The Royal Hotel was Liverpools last(?) gas lit pub in Smithdown Road L7 where i lived. The gas lighting was only removed in the 90's(?) The facade was tile covered too. Its now student flats but the tiles are still in place. It can be seen on Google maps. I have so much in my memory about Liverpool. Oh and if I ever mention the Grafton Rooms in West Derby Road many a guys going to know what I can't put on here or YT will block it. Anyways enought of the Rose tinted spectacles past. Cheers DougT in Mancs now.

Ha ha! Cheers Doug! Yep, I couldn't include the statue you mention, I don't think the video would be allowed up ;-) Interesting thoughts, cheers.

Very interesting. I don't know much about Liverpool. Do know about Lobscouse as I like to cook and like food history. Perhaps you could do a video about the history of Britian's common dishes. And please don't call cottage pie (beef) shepherd's pie (lamb). Hello from cloudy Oregon US.

This is excellent. Really interesting stuff about the Titanic. Liverpool has a very interesting connection with the US Civil War. The most pro-confederate city outside of America. Indeed the last act of the US Civil War took place in Liverpool. Some info here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cQJ_b6jW_Po.html
