Loved the picture of Washington street my mum Carrie and sister Beryl standing outside our house, and old Wilf over on the other side of the road.
Born in Dingle 1948, a teenager in the 60s, Liverpool was a wonderful place to live, just loved the place, this video brings back really fond memories. Jamie Walker
I was born in Beaufort St Toxteth then moved to Southdene Kirkby in 1955 were Walkers family lived over the road.
born and bred in liverpool 8 .those were the days,when you could leave your front door open with no fear of being robbed,great neighbours, and a great community,i went to windsor street school ,then on to wellington rd school. brings back lots of memories.
Born in the Dingle in 1951, I was determined to travel and live in a beautiful place. Left for Australia in 76 and lived an amazing life yet when I see these photos, they almost bring me to tears. I have nothing but beautiful memories and a sense of innocence of the time and strong community when looking at them...guess you can take the lad out of Liverpool but you can't take Liverpool out of the lad eh :) Thanks for the photos Tom.
I left Liverpool for Canada.. And know I'm back I'm loving every second..... Believe me this is the most beautiful place on earth..

I too was born in Dingle in 1951, near the Flat Iron.
I was born in Sefton General 1959.we lived in South street park road end.was a nice place to live .sadly we moved to croxteth.still miss it after all these years the world seemed a far better place then.i remember walking to school at St.finbars.great memories.
I was a policeman in Essex Street in 1960, these pictures bring back good memories of lovely people
Incredible pics, some of which I've seen before. I never got to see the overhead railway as it was dismantled two years before I was born. A sad loss to our city.
I rode the Overhead railway just once before it closed I bunked a ride from the Pierhead to Sandhills and back. It had to close as it was dangerously corroded from having steam trains running underneath it for years belching out steam.
I lived abroad for two years , But found my way back home .NOTHING COMPARES TO LIVERPOOL AND ITS PEOPLE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰😘
Thank you so much to Tom Brown. I was born in 1944, Emerald Street, off Cockburn Street. I had such a wonderful childhood with my two sisters and two brothers, plus a wonderful mum and dad who worked so hard for us. Thank you for the happy memories Tom.
Why would anyone give these wonderful images a 'thumbs down'? I don't get it.. :(
paul greenwood . Probably Mancs lol
They just get a sick kick out of being negative.......saddo's....
....I'm so proud of my great City.......
Thanks for posting, so many memories, also love the music.
Fabulous,i was born in South Liverpool.1944.not lived in Liverpool for 40 plus years,this film brought back some great memories Thanks
Thanks for a superb video. Brings back some happy memories, we used to go to Stebby baths with the school and I can still smell that fresh coffee in coopers in town. What a wonderful shop that was, it had a lovely polished copper topped counter. Those were the days.
This was so lovely to watch brought back lots of happy childhood memories for me....those days were so good...less stress and happier people...same can't be said for current times :( xx
i was born and bred in liverpool 8 , i lived in bowring street went to parkhill road school till 1970 then went to dingle vale school for 2 years then we had to move cos they were pulling our house down and we moved to wavertree , brought back some wonderful memories thanks tom
Parkhill Road - Mrs Wood, Mr Milroy, Mrs Forster Mrs George - thanks to them 6 of us in my year passed the 11+ and went to grammar schools
Beautifully put together. Music's perfect. 10/10!
My Gran and Grandad lived in Caryl Grove and some of my happiest years were spent visiting them going to the docks and looking at the engine sheds at Brunswick. Wondeful place. Thanks.
I lived Erith Street until 1969 when unfortunately as part of the so called slum clearance we were moved to Huyton. Have such fond memories of Liverpool 8 and seeing video of Park Road brought all back. I remember Capaldis, Lee's pet shop, Butchers Ted Aples and cousins cake shop. My dad every Friday after finishing work would go Castle Inn Pub or the Criterion. Thanks for uploading video

It's really nice to be able to look at these pictures with the help of you tube. I would like to say "thank you You Tube" for making us dream, I'm really happy watching the Liverepool of yesteryear. Fernand, I write to you from Buenos Aires and it's something of the dream of all the old films that you have the generosity to share. I learned to love Liverpool by watching a blog where you can see the streets of Liverpool: Thank you very much
GREAT PHOTOS AND SO WELL PRESENTED.THANKS FOR THE MEMORY TOMMY.
This clip is so beautifully put together . Nice to see the (next to James's Chippie) house that where I was born in Windsor Street. So many childhood memories of the area . Wonderful. Thank you so much for this
My mother worked at Wapping station in 1954 in the ticket office , she lived in Chester Street with my dad after they married in the army in 1953 in Thurrock, Essex. , my dad was born in Beaufort street 1933 and went to st. malachy's, RIP MUM AND DAD miss u and all your memories of Dingle .
I was born in Beaufort St No 33. Everyone seemed to know everybody then.
I was born in West Derby in 1970. Remember our lovely green buses? I revisited recently and was appalled to see what has happened to Liverpool 1. They have gutted the place. How many grade 1 listed buildings, including Quiggins where I used to work, were torn down? I literally got lost trying to find my way back to civilisation.
Hi Sandy I recently visited our home town ….. words fail me, so sad.
Thank you Tommy for this , my mam and dad were from here in Dingle , I grew up in Serra Leone i was born in 1965 but my sister was born at home in Liverpool. My dad always told me about Liverpool and our home , he worked at camel Laird then went to sea for Blue funnel and Elder Dempster , he was chief engineer on the Appa M V Aureol .
We came home in 1976 , Hahaha he said because he missed the city and Liverpool F C .
im so made up that ive found this because it means alot to me to see where i came from. I live away now but still get back at every oppertunity to see my family and go to watch my Liverpool F C .
Again thanks for this
I also watched Part 2, it is just as great. Thanks for the efforts.
Thank you for sharing what wonderful memories I had watching this.
Grandad and Grandma lived in Caryl Grove, Grafton Street and this brought back many fond memories of the area for me. Thanks.
Beautiful memories.. Thanks
Brilliant video.My Mum and Dad have lived in Upper Warwick Street for over 50 years.
I departed Liverpool in the late sixties to seek my fortune in the United States. I've lived a wonderful life of great success, having achieved everything I could possibly have wished for. From my early life of humble beginnings living in Speke, to my business adventures traveling the America's as an adult, I never forgot the lessons my beautiful Liverpudlian parents taught me. Living in Liverpool was the catalyst that propelled me to achieve in business and I seriously doubt if any of this could have been accomplished had I been raised elsewhere.
An exceptionally beautiful windswept city, that in spite of its many changes will always have a special place in my heart. ❤ Much love from the United States.
Fantastic photos thanks.
This music is Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar - very atmospheric, but I always associate it with the American Civil War as it was used in the amazing documentary on it by Ken Burns.
Hi Tom - My dad was born 1938 in North Brook Street. Went to Granny Street school. Love looking through these! Cheers mate
Outsiders call Liverpool 8 every name under the sun, but for those who grew up in that area, it was a community of people. We were not just neighbours, but we became an extended family.
Black and white lived together, side by side.with hardly any problem at all. I well remember the happy times spent in Liverpool 8 - especially Berkley Street were I lived, and Windsor Street, and the people who have now passed on.
Those days were innocent and carefree. I am not saying there were not any problems, of course there were, but we stuck together as a community and overcame those problems when they arose. I long for those days back again, but they are now gone, forever.
You never know what you had until it has gone. This video really made me long for the past and the people I miss now, both family and friends who are long dead.
mikeleight..and you are the shithole of all of the comments here, dovecote, kenny, everton, anfield all have their run down places,...why don`t you crawl back into your own shitty hole of negativity and nastiness and keep your bad minded unkind thoughts to yourself you fuckin prrrrick
Apart from the Riots
W Leon you right
Now most of the white people have moved away it's an embarrassing shit hole and if you think it's not an embarrassing shit hole you must not know the same L8 as I do. Anyone who can say that is a desirable place to live must have shockingly low standards. Shame for us real scousers with Lancashire, Irish, Welsh, Manx mix that we lost an entire area to degenerate behaviour among immigrant dissenters. The whole area is a total disaster. Churches lost, whole streets boarded up, insane burglary statistics. If you call that success you need your head examining.
@mikeleight And why is that? Do not call a place IF YOU HAVE NOT LIVED THERE YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT?
Absolutely beautiful. I went to Tocky Tech in the 60's. So grey and drab. Now live in the brightest and sunnyest places on Earth, Perth West Aus. "What an remarkable world". The choice of music and presentation brought tears to my eyes.
Beautifully put together. Thank you!
thank you for the videos tom, takes me back to the time we visited our cousins in wavertree during the 1950s
I enjoyed this and brought back many memories, I was born in a pub in Clevedon street off Park Road and facing the "holy land" called The Castle Inn, learned to swim at Steble street baths and played in all those streets from there doqn to Otterspool and the other way right into town, used to go missing all day when kids were ok to wander
hi John.my dad used to drink in youre pub.georgie johnson.i rambert playing football with you as a kid.on the waste ground next to the pub.
Oh to time travel. To walk in my parents & grandparents shoes.
I wonder who remembers my old mans cobblers shop in windsor street .Happy memories.
Many Thanks, Great Memories.
Great pictures. My mum (born in 1930) grew up in the Dingle and I spent a lot of time at my nan's house as a child, in Clevedon Street, off Park Road. My mum and uncles have wonderful memories of the Dingle! X
liverpoolboxingbaby I was born in the Castle Inn pub in Clevedon Street
That's interesting, I didnt even know there was a pub in Clevedon Street. My mum used to live in number 34 x
the pub was 58A
+liverpoolboxingbaby I just realised something.If you are in your 50's then me and you were good mates as kids.You used to come to Clevedon street to play and then I went to your house further down the dingle looking down to the docks.I am going on your name on here and guessing that your surname began with R
Anyone remember Cy Tucker on the Farmers, Sunday afternoon?....I used to have a girlfriend in Clevedon St...
Great memories I was born in Berkeley street in the 40s and my grandmother lived there until shortly before the area was demolished as someone else commented Liverpol 8 didn't have the greatest reputation but I loved it as a kid and new some great people
WOOOW.... All these years, we lived in Park Road just across the road from the Tabernacle until 1972, I used to go to Windsor Street Primary School which still exist till this day. We moved to the Birmingham and back to Liverpool again. Everything in the documentary just looks great and brings back beautiful childhood memories. The Dingle area, the city centre (Renshaw Street) everything in the video brought back great memories. Definitely LIKE.
Back then looked so beautiful
Wow all I can say amazing!!
Bringing back such lovely memories. My mam and dad lived off park lane and my mam and Auntie worked on the Overhead Head Railway.. Thanks for the posting.
Hello...I'm Ann Doyle..late of Huyton with Roby....in 1959 aged 18 I married a wonderful man named Tom Doyle of Wolfe Street Dingle Liverpool 8 ....he was eldest of a family of 5 boys and 1 girl named Dolly.... their mum and dad were Mary and Tom.....Tom and I managed to buy a house in the holy land...David Street ..Tom was a Merchant seaman and a the time we met he was on athe "Empress boats" to Canada and back every few weeks...we raised 5 children...Tom passed away in April 2017 ..I'm still in the Dingle as our children are all fairly close by in Dingle...Aigburth . Allerton etc...I've seen so many changes in Dingle over the years....some for the better but many not.. the closeness of communities has mostly gone and anyone,ne coming back to it today would not recognise it...so it's all the more important that its streets...homes...way of life has been preserved on film like this....so many happy memories to treasure... thank you so much ..
Incredibly tasteful, thank you.
Tom; thanks for the memories. My great Uncle and all the family lived in Devonshire Road; I cannot remember the number now(may have been 20); too long ago. We used to come down from Scotland in the school holidays to stay with them; I had some great times; Sefton Park; going down to the docks with my cousins who worked there; great sense of community then (mid/late 50's); the family were moved when the area was redeveloped and off they went to
I loved seeing the shops and places. I'm so mad I wasn't born and raised in Liverpool instead of San Francisco, fate. You got to have The Beatles and we didn't. Accept when they came to perform.
hi jori. we had the beatles but you had elvis.wanna swap.
Really enjoyed this. Lots of memories
We lived in no20b devonshire road are kid still lives there in 68 from gary i left grafton Street 463 in 1993 wish i was still there Great time
thanks sir 4 sharing a old history of our city
Mohammed Ali k
My god! Steble street; I used to go swimming there on a Sunday morning with my Dad and brother when I was 8 or 9 in the early 70s. We used to go to the laundry afterwards and get tea and toast. I only lived across the road in Vronhill Street. Those were the days. My Mum and Dad died a few years back and this brings back so many happy childhood memories. Thanks for the watch.
I know .. my earliest memories are the laundry .. even today the smell of toast takes me back to those happy days .. I lived in Pecksniff Street .. great video ..
Mark Shaw, the smell of the toast. We begged Mum but could seldom afford it.
Tea & Toast in a Laundry? good idea while you are waiting, but--TOAST as well? Did the idea spread to other places--like the Cobbler's ?
+Mark Shaw
my partner Mr stages says the womans name was Mrs Bowie, apparently she knew not everyone could afford to buy tea & toast so she would occasionally quietly give it to her poorest customers free.
Sadly we are now 2019. Loved those days in Liverpool
Me to
My mum and dad had 2 records shops in Park Road in the 60's & 70's. One was opposite Beresford Road. wIshed I had photos
I bought my 1st LP from the shop opposite Beresford Road.......The Drifters....mid 60's....Thanks for reminding me......Or at least I think it was....unless there was another record shop on Park Road around about that location.
Liverpool 8 was no different than many parts of Liverpool. I grew up in Edge Hill..by Botanic park..same neighbourhoods..people community terraced streets etc. Thats long gone now...all those areas are run down now full of crime and rubbish on the streets.. my mum use to scrub the step and wash outside on the pavement..leave the door ajar unlocked..who could do that today?
hi i lived in wynne st, where were you?
wasn't it the case, that we had sod all , to lose?
Loved the picture of Washington street my mum Carrie an sister Beryl standing outside our house and old WiLF over on the other side of the road
we lived above Costigans on Park Road mid 60's . Great days.
+John O'Dwyer my mum worked in costigans in the late 1950's
My dad used to talk about costigans, he was born in Beaufort Street in 1933 and my grandparents finished up living in byles Street, all gone now rest in peace xxxx
More great pics 👌 well done Tom
A city with personality.
Brings back such sweet memories. Park Road was so bubbly then with its many small shops. Sad to : they've only just demolished the Odeon in London Road.
I grew up in Warwick street in the 60's and my best mate Lived in Warwick gardens, another lived in Carl Gardens and another lived in King Gardens, Move to Upper Warwick street in my teens so remember the area well nice to see some great photos bringing back good memories.
@karensmith4203 I lived in No 5 Claribel Street, I also used to walk down to St Pats, Then on to St Martins later. I left Claribel St in 1970.
I was Baptised in St Pat's.@@jknight5991
@karensmith4203 Some of the names I remember were. Campos, Erangey, Williams, Cox, Pollard, King, Tsang,
Happy memories growing up as a kid in dingle and aigburth.

Great Video Tom!!! Would you have a still of MILTON'S on Warwick street. I worked there when I was 15. It was three shops in one, the back was a pawn shop the middle was second hand store where they sold the unclaimed items from the pawn shop and the front was a retail cloths shop. Thanks
Ole Lilypuddle lookin NICE !

Great memories of lpool were does time go
The streets look really clean. No litter. I guess people didn't drop it back then. It's different now.
Great video Ilike the fades and music. The pics brought back memories. My family lived in Hartnup street Number 4 They may have left by time you were there. The name was Hornby do you recall anybody by that name. My mom Margaret Hornby was born in 1927. It was my grand father Albert Hornby lived there with his Mom Alice and dad Henery Hornby

fantastic,
Many a day in that cinema
we've come a long way ,,, it's good to get a reminder of how it was , Lived on St James rd from 1952 to 59 then moved up to Ramilies and Penny Lane
Grew up in The Elms and spent lots of time up and down Park Road. Left there around 1964. Would live to watch the video but You Tube is showing it as unavailable 🙁

I lived in geraint st back in 64 to 75
Thanks for sharing
a lived on Windsor st1960-74.a remember the chippy and fruit and veg shop.betting shop.going to park road with my mum.
I was a bobby on the Windsor St beat in the early 60's. I have fond memories of the chippy, he occasionally gave me free fish and chips when I was on night shift. I'd stand on the corner of North Hill St eating them, they were hidden under my cape.....Loved that area.....
That wasn't Barbara incidentally - It's Brian, Barbara is my wife....
P.S. I was at Essex St Bridewell, C Division
Barbara Lewis ......you're nicked!...😂
I wanted to know if you could credit the music used - I really enjoyed that, too.
Any pictures of the Windsor Pub please? My great Uncle and Aunt ran it.. they where really lovely people. Hope i have the name correct. As I'm from the other side of the Mersey and went there when i was a young girl
Windsor street at 7:11 James fish and chips fourth from the right my parents shop in the early 80's!!
Nan ran Digby House (near Park Road) in the 60's and spent my first few years living there had two Aunties who ran The Poets Corner near the Holy Land so lots of memories with the slides nice one.
I remember the Poet's well, it was the only pub I knew of who had the tennis on a colour telly...circa 71...
Hi Elsie,
Great video Ilike the fades and music. The pics brought back memories. My family lived in Hartnup street Number 4 They may have left by time you were there. The name was Hornby do you recall anybody by that name. My mom Margaret Hornby was born in 1927. It was my grand father Albert Hornby lived there with his Mom Alice and dad Henery Hornby
Frank Byrne Hi Frank was trying to get info on the Hornby family tree. Think grandfather was Albert Hornby? Gran was Rigby? Not sure? I went back to great grandfather Henry Hornby?
@@frankhornby6873 Hi Frank yes its me from Bunter road. I was looking into the Hornby tree on ancestry.com and found that Albert was the son of Henry Hornby who was living at the time in Hartnup street which is right next to Liverpool's football ground. I did my DNA test with 23+me and we have a second cousin Ken Dugdale he Lived in Kirkby. Yea i would like more info if you have it. Ken takes the Hornby tree back as far as 1697. Can give you more info if you like.
@@frankhornby6873 Hi Frank Yes its me Mike from Bunter road don't know if you got my previous message. Yes would like more info
That building on Renshaw Street is still there and still named Grand Central Hall. It is the home of Quigans these days.
Thanks Tom. I lived in Wavertree Road just near Dorothy Street from 1953 to 1966 - any chance of a Liverpool 7 vid?
Cool pictures man
Does anyone remember the name of the music and poetry club in Liverpool 8 in the late sixties? People like Adrian Henri, Mike Evans, Mike Hart, Roger McGough and Ricky Noyce performed there.
There was one in the Domestic Mission on Mill Street. Jaqui and Bridie ran it.
@@TommyBrown7 Correct, i saw Tom Paxton there once in the sixties.
oops............Halewood and what a place that was!!!
Got any of the Vauxhall/Athol street area?
I have many good illustrated books of old Liverpool, and I've watched many such videos on You Tube too. But I've yet to find a good picture or vid of Vauxhall road, and the roads running off it--like Portland Street, which is where my mother was born in 1905. ANYONE ??
Must be my location Tommy. I live abroad, the link is unavailable. Thanks for trying though

farric1 has made a comment on Old Liverpool 8 and surrounding districts.Part 1.
Very nice video, Tom. What was the music that you used? I particularly enjoyed the first song. Also, your video seems to impart that we have lost some civic dignity in the case of Liverpool. The older scenes do portray a more tidy and cared for streetscape.
