The flats are off Soho Street (the four squares) the court near the end where the car turns into is where I lived. The burnt circle in the middle of the tarmac where the dog is was done by kids on bonfire night! I was living there at this time, the flats had been refurbished by the council, but they soon deteriorated and slowly tenants where relocated before demolition. I felt a mixture of sadness and happiness watching this, I was engaged at the time when I was living there, sadly we split up after we moved, but it is strange looking at this footage, knowing I was living in one of those flats when this was being filmed. As the car goes down the left hand side of the court, I lived on the first floor on the right. I'm sixty One now, but looking at this footage makes me realise how fast time goes by. Nice bit of nostalgia.
0:54 If I'm correct , this is Soho street just off Everton Brow & Islington can be seen in the distance , & the tower in the distance is one of the TJ Hughes shop tower's . Used to walk from TJs up Soho st onto Fox street most Saturday's to get to Great Homer street market ... 🤗 💕
The journey starts just off Everton Brow then goes down it, turning left past the Soho Arms pub into Soho st, proceeding along past the shops (including Rimmers I think), car then turns right down Queen Anne st and into one of the 'Four Squares' Tenements itself. This whole area is desolate now and a huge grassy mound of nothing. About 200 houses were built to replace 500 flats (and of course the density from the high rise which were the piggeries and John F Kennedy hts has been lost too)
the area his where the 4 squares use to be it shows the friary school and at the start off the viedo the tower block his canterbury height hope this helps
I was a Granada TV repairman in 1978/79 and worked out of Netley Street on Walton road. Our branch covered Liverpool 1 to 5 and I spent at least two years fixin tellys in Liverpool 5. I worked with a man that was close to Sixty while I was just 20. His name was dick Sheils. Any relation Peter? Dick was always taking pictures of streets that were about to be demolished.
I wanna go bak so much We kid ourselves up it was better then That’s Cos ya man n dad ad all the worries Our biggest prob was findin an excuse not to go to school Hahaha But still I miss those days
It’s the Squares It’s nowhere near copperas hill Copperas hill went from Lime st up to the Bullring then down toward TJ’s Sorry am not shoutin at u just politely pointing out ur mistake
Weird, i'd just watched a youtube vid of Manhattan Transfer singing 'Walk in love' then saw this and the song is Manhattan Transfer singing 'Chanson d'Amour' :-/
The sounds dubbed There’s no kids to be heard playin or we wudda heard the passing traffic Plus the sirens we can hear were not used by fire or police till the early 90’s
