Webcam by Marine Lake overlooking West Kirby beach. May 24, 2024. (Part 2)
I noticed on CZcams that there is a webcam by the Marine Lake overlooking West Kirby beach. So I went to look at it and wave and later, after I got home, I could watch myself on it. Small pleasures! NB My camera conked out so it is divided into two parts. May 24, 2024.

Roman Gardens, Pepper Street. Chester Walls. May 1, 2024.
zhlédnutí 23Před měsícem
On a visit to Chester May 1st, 2024, I looked at the Roman Gardens just outside the city walls. They are a collection of pieces of pillars, mosaics and underfloor heating assembled together from various places in Chester. It is a very pleasant place and makes you think of our ancient history and the people who once walked where we walk now.

Brook Street: Birkenhead's 'red light' area? March 7, 2024.
zhlédnutí 6KPřed 3 měsíci
I must lead a sheltered life as I only found out recently that Brook Street is apparently Birkenhead's 'red light area'. However, walking down at lunchtime seemed safe enough but I wouldn't want to walk along here at night. During the day it is an industrial area and is a long, straight road showing how Birkenhead was originally developed. On a personal note, I feel sorry for those women so cau...

Back by popular demand - well one person actually. I'd stopped making these little videos as I really make them for myself and I had got really into drawing and painting (badly but never mind). Anyway a few people have said they like these little snippets. So today I went part of the Wirral Way and ended up going through the lovely and upmarket village of Willaston with its delightful green. I ...

I haven't uploaded any videos for a while as I have been focusing on my art. However, on a walk along the Wirral Way today near Heswall I came across a whole bunch of tadpoles in the ditch water by the side of the path. I like frogs so I wish them well and hope most of them make it.
Views from the top of St Bridget's church tower. May 1, 2023.

I've been up the top of St Bridget's church tower several times now but it is always worth the climb. It was the Ashton Park Mayday fair today and as part of that, St Bridget's was open. So I went up the bell tower to be rewarded with spectacular views over towards North Wales. Happy Days!
Viking carving at Bidston Hill. April 20, 2023. Part 2.
zhlédnutí 113Před rokem
At last!! Following directions from a friend, I found the Viking rock carving of Sunna - the goddess of the sun - on Bidston Hill. The carving is very worn but once I moved position it became clearer. To think it is over 1,000 years old! My video got interrupted by a phone call.

Byrne Avenue Baths Art Exhibition. April 13, 2023.
zhlédnutí 69Před rokem
Went to Byrne Avenue Baths for the first time to see the art exhibition by local artist Nigel Patrick Mottram. Much of his art is influenced by his childhood when he played among Birkenhead's bomb sites following the Blitz during World War Two. It was very thought provoking and in a great space so I shall revisit Byrne Avenue Baths.

    You may not see this comment now with it being a few years ago I thought I’d give a little bit of history the reason market street is called market street in Birkenhead is that area along Hamilton street where you mentioned those modern buildings was in fact where the old Birkenhead market once stood between 1845 and 1974 that triangle building stood along side it. If you look up Birkenhead old market loads comes up with photos to. If you see my comment hope that helps.

    Why film the streets during the day? If it's a red-light district, filming at night would be more relevant. You might think it's interesting or exciting to see a red light area, but it's actually a place where people face many problems and challenges. Instead of treating the people there like spectacles, you should try to learn more about their issues and realities.

    Visited myself recently. Interesting experience. It felt strange but also spiritual to see the remains of a community which had pretty much vanished in a town which felt very local to me. It was also great to see different grave styles that couldn’t be seen in the neighbouring christian cemetery (thoughthey were some styles I found unique to Blackpool there too).

    • @wirralsnippets5753
      @wirralsnippets5753 Před rokem
