Have You Just Been In The Building With That Drone? 😮🎥🛸✔ 

Awesome review of the Girobank building history DJ. Bye bye Girobank building, time to Check out and account balance is £0. Awesome drone views and chats on a delightful day. 👍⭐⭐⭐ In addition bank offices on the campus closed in 2021. March 2023 the property was sold to developers responsible for the demolition. Girobank building has a wiki page for more history. Prior to Girobank, the site part of Orrell Park Pleasure Grounds (recreational grounds) with allotment gardens to the north and south (Dominion). On DJs 360 photos, to the east is the HSBC Bank processing centre, to southeast the long warehouse was Internal Harvester constructed early '50s (Hy Ten Steel). Along Bridle Way was post war prefab housing constructed for workers at the new English Electric Company, the large disused warehouse to the northeast. Other notable industry in the Netherton - Aintree area include the historic Aintree Race Course and steeple chase competitions further east. The retail park on the race course north side near Aintree Station was Skag Farm, site of the Royal Aircraft Manufacturing No 2 during the Great War. It was redeveloped as an artificial silk (rayon) factory. On the Netherton side of Aintree Station was the Royal Ordnance Factory for manufacturing rifles and the factory building still in use by multiple tenants. Behind G4S cash depot where DJ began his virtual tour, was the large Aintree Sorting Siding that stored and sorted rail wagons servicing the dock in Bootle and Liverpool. Across from the Santander Bank Campus and Dominion Printing was the HSBC processing centre which has been vacant since at least 2010. Currently two data centres operate on the property and L51 Liverpool has planning approved to replace the office block with a modern data centre. Thanks DJ, this has been quite a delightful virtual tour of Bootle-Liverpool area. 😃

Always nice to see a fellow Scouser without a chip on his shoulder. Stay cool dude😎💪.

What a nice bloke , the diggers fascinate me , I was enjoying watching that . Thanks for the vid DJ

Car lady just out and about gathering intel😂

Lovely lady in the car, salt of the earth. Great to see so many folk just having a sensible chat and _not_ going mental on each other. Treasure these moments, they're going to get rarer as we become more _global._

I still have my original Giro Bank account, now with Santander. Good to have historical footage for the future. I have to say the lad in the 360 is a quality operator, most will not notice the finner points unless they have years of civil engineering experience. That young man is as good as all the old lads I worked with.

What a sound guy the bearded fellow was, I'm sure I seen a small bird fly out that beard tho😂😂😂

The lady in the car at the start with the liverpool accent just luv that accent n im from Yorkshire

before Alliance and Leicester, and Santander it was called Giro bank hence the Giro building.

Shes already cased the joint 😂😂

Nice JCB operator, good video, even without any drama.

National Girobank was a British public sector financial institution run by the General Post Office that opened for business in October 1968. It was initially called National Giro then National Girobank and finally Girobank plc, before being absorbed into Alliance & Leicester in 2003, which was later acquired by Santander in 2008.

Gotta love the Liverpool accent

What a lovely chap to talk to. He must get so bored waiting for the lorry. Yes, very interesting to watch the video. Well done DJ. Take care Sara x

Would be good to go back in a year or so see what they rebuild on site

And one eyesore will come down only to be replaced with another eyesore. 17.5 acres of land would do nicely for a new housing development but we all know that’s not going to happen, not when there’s prime green belt to build housing on.

This guy should be in the movies or TV with that look and great accent.

Imagine if everyone in the world was like that excavator driver!! We'd all get on like a house on fire. Great bloke. 🤩

My wife worked for Santander. During Covid. They all had to work from home and never went back. Now a six storey building stands empty. WFH is not a good thing.

I worked there for 37 years. Started with Giro bank, Alliance & Leicester and finally Santander. Great place to work, amazing colleagues.

A sound, friendly scouser that I could just about understand, well that's a first for me, fair play to him.

Nice lad..seemed interesting bloke. Enjoyed his chat with dj.

~ Yer man is good with his digger.

Lady in the car was very pleasant AND good looking.

That security wagon is impersonating a Police vehicle 🚓🚓 . Must be Illegal surely ? Great video this one 👌👍🛸🛸

Get some MUC-OFF Dry Lube for your bike mate, It’s not sounding too healthy. Could also need a new chain by now too. Love your channel

It must have been a lovely building, when it was open , it's certainly an unusual shape .

Ok DJ your next drone needs to be an Avata 2 FPV “Let’s see what this place looks like…. From Inside!!!”

Thanks for having me on @djaudits

Used to work on that road, "Forticrete" (bridal road) and I knew some people from Santander. Shame its closed.

DJ getting everywhere 👏👏👏

I've seen a lot of cellular phone transmitters left on buildings when they get demolished, I can only assume it's not cost effective to remove them than replace them at other locations.

Excellent content as always DJ

Still after a keyring I’m on me way 🤣

Great drone flying….😎

Love this drone shot!

Alliance and Leicester yep remember them dj

The lady at the start being your hype woman 👏🙌🙌

never has so much styley been put into the words "From AboooOOOoooOOOoooove!"

That was me getting loaded in the D Morgan truck, where’s my key ring 😂

The actual post code for the building as google maps will not accept The Gir 0AA postcode is L30 4GB

Yes

The girooooo likeeee

Back in the day when you was on DOLE lol, all your Giro's that you cashed at the Post Office came from Bootle.

Loving your Merseyside coverage DJ .... any chance you can do Southport or Crosby 🙌🏻

Love audits

I WFH and there's never been any talk of compensation for power usage or anything like that. With that said, laptops don't use much power

I used to work in that building as a contractor

Still waiting for someone to say to you "Do One" like the last of Brookside used to say in every episode.

What lovely down to earth people who know how to communicate with fellow human-beings, nice one all round guys, Respect ;-)

I love your Videos DJ Class

I must be getting old, I remember that being built

Go on Dj

I wonder if all these people now working from home and have a room used for the work, realise they should be notifying their local council to tell them, as they could be liable for business rates. Also their building insurance could be invalidated if they have not informed of the change of use. BT phone lines for buiseness are also different costs.

Good afternoon Dj

Great weather u have

I work for Capita, in the newer building the other side of that building (the Giro), a few hundred yards away from where you were.

I worked there about 30 years ago.

DJ, that high rise platform you were referring to that you thought was something to do with aintree. Years a go that was a container base and that platform was used for floodlights that lit up the whole area.

What Radio scanner and where did you buy from? Please

I see more comments about the creaky bike. Is it plastic? Dose it fold down? Thought of doing a review on it? You must know it inside out by now. It is becoming the iconic "orange bike". Folks may be interested.

Rubble is classed as waste so they have to do a waste transfer/carrier note every load.

Bless that lady in the black car looking for a labouring job for her brother.

I think you should have a look around Cherry Knowls in sunderland.

What a nice fella...honest.👍

I used to work here. I took redundancy when the news broke they were closing the site. To be honest, It was long overdue to be pulled down. It wasn't very well maintained. I do miss the social club on site just beyond those gates. Good cheap pints 😂😂

I loved it going to Santander Lincoln back in 2015 to pay my house off with my savings. Great feeling walking out the bank knowing the house is paid off. No more stress.

Love the videos fella, this one looks like one of my old school buildings hehe! Abbey National became Santander. I know this because my Abbey National account was to change and I closed it. Peace.

Another fascinating upload DJ! How come you're not putting the names up those you interact with up on screen no more? Looking forward to the next one mate, cheers.

mad how isolated people are since convid, all isolated 24/7 in our little boxes

Santander do not contribute to your electric bills when you work from home, trust me!

I was in the kitchen and heard a Liverpool accent. I knew it must be DJ on UTube. :)

I knew you'd be going there next!

One of the best social clubs in the world that Giro mate.

we call that a Bando in FPV hobby world.

I was commissioned to photograph and drone Dominoes Printing next door a few years back

Really nice bloke!

cool worker

I live on Dodge at the back of that building. That's originally the Giro Bank.

How come you don't do live videos so that we can chat. Your the best.

Friday is here

you do a great public service dj 😀😀😀😀😀

Any chance of some audits in the southwest DJ?

I hope this doesn't happen but one day your gonna get a right hander 👊👊😂

V good digger skills 💯

Fujitsu have a secure site just behind there.

If I win the draw later dj I want to use my new kit on a audit with you. Also is the Volvo included 😂

Wow bet that has some tales to tell…and thats b4 the internet

All that copper up on that roof

I believe companies do contribute to their employees working from home,

Hey DJ ...Give'm HELL ! lol

the giro lol ya about 1/4 of a mle from my sisters

Have you visited Santander HQ in Narborough, Leicester?

they get paid nicely for leasing space on the top of these buildings for antennas, old building is still earning $$

I have the drone footage music on 24/7 day and night in my car

Good day sirrr

I think that building was originally designed to be a hospital

he was a sound lad

🎉🎉🎉

😊
