I was brought up in knotty ash but my husband was born in Rosscommon Street, and also lived in Canterbury Heights, 7th floor in the 70's..........how sad that these comunities were split up, they should have built new houses for them in the same area's,good people with hearts of gold, thanx for the memories.......................x
They demolished the slum houses and put up slum tower blocks Just because they had indoor plumbing doesn't mean they were not slums Terrible isolating tower blocks. In human The condescending architects don't live in them
Then they knocked down the tower blocks and made a park! my nan lived in the middle block of John F Kennedy Heights Everton Brow and loved it! then again she faced the Mersey and loved the view of the river!
Great Pictures of the Everton Area Memories will be cherished forever that's one thing that can't be taken away. You can take the Heart out of the area but a lot of people have memories and they will never forget. Thanks for the Memories.
I am an Everton lad, now living on the wirral, originally from Radcliffe street, then Crosbie heights, great photographs but time moves on. I went to SFX juniors with Mr O.Keefe as headmaster, discipline worked for us,
I was Brought up Page walk just of Everton Brow/William Henry st area. The instructor or teacher on the left in the trampolining picture was the head master from my old junior school Salisbury Street top of Everton Brow when it closed we were moved to Rosscommon street school and he became Deputy head back in 1979/80. His name was Mr Kirkham he also ran a Gymnastics class on a saturday morning from my Old senior School John Hamilton. When i was at Sailsbury Street we had a great teacher called Miss Wright who gave us some great lessons like Biology, History and some great English lessons learning was Great and set me up in Life but when we moved to Rosscommon St i went from Miss Wright to a Horror called Miss Pickles who put us in a corner and said read out of this book or write these numbers down. Thank God i only had 1 term with her before i moved to senior school. I could not go to any of the schools round my area as we were Church of England and the area was Catholic schools but i had some great times. I cant believe you have a picture of the piggery's playground the picture was taken on top of the slide it was called the whale slide cause the hill it was built on looked like a whale. i got my head split wide open when i was 9 years old there by a Older girl called Anne Conner she had a plank with nails in it and she hit me over the head with it. Great Vlog
Great vid mate! Brings back loads of memories of my old neighbourhood! Born and raised in Everton till I was eight and then moved to the Netherlands. Still miss the old place! Ta a lot!
Those group pictures taken of kids playing and mucking about also shows how they dressed which gives some idea of the era. The sad thing is, if you tried to do that today you would be arrested as some kind of deviant, so the kids of today will in the future miss out on being able to look back and enjoy the photos of their youth and dress sense.
wow! this brings back memories my parents were born in anfield road and as a treat on saturday was a trip to new brighton on the ferry i it was an ocean cruise to me happy days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hello from Montreal These images remind me of Montreal -- just like the other movies on the old Liverpool that have been uploaded here. Yes, the same mistakes in urban renewal -- and the same triumphs! Need I say more? Cheers
Like Beirut Everton Valley was. Me and me mates used to get the number 30 bus and get off at nethy rd and walk over the hill to Breckfield rd and Cardinal Godfrey school laughing at the bigotry painted on the flats - "no popery", "kill the pope" etc. Some real scum lived around there.
@liverpoolnatsel Forgive my ignorance, but as iv never been to LIVERPOOL I only know what I hear, but maybe you could tell me, dose any of the OLD city and surrounding area still exist ? I hear lots of reports about how everything is being transformed and modernized but is this really true ? And what about famous docks ? Is any of it still in use ? I would be interested to hear.

I remember at Christmas we had a magician come to entertain us. All was well till he started doing tricks with different coloured hankies, Cheering or booing for red or blue hankies was ok. but when it started for green or orange Barber went ape and stepped in to warn everyone, I can see why now, but at the time he just seemed like a spoil sport.
I was at Salisbury St school and had a Fantastic teacher called Miss wright back in 79 our school closed and we were all moved to Rosscommon and was put in Miss Pickles class she was not a teacher she was a horror. I went from leaning stuff like Biology, History and English to sitting at a desk writing stuff out of books it was terrible. I remember miss wright having a go at Miss pickles over her teaching so funny. I only had 1 term with pickles thank god.
