Cottage homes I went to school there brookside pupil referral unit thy got me all my grades we went camping kayaking absailng it was brilliant 👏 thks billy brings bk gr8 memories

I Was born in Fazak , 56 Monrovia Crescent, January 1965 It's still there until this day 😮‍💨 What a fantastic job they are doing training Potential people seeking a career in the Merchant Navy and at sea Personnel , on Fire protection and safety 👍👍👍👍

Love your videos!! My mum was from Liverpool and born in Fazakerly. Moved to the States and had a family. I’ve been over 4 times and I love Liverpool.

It was the cottage homes... the work house! My oldest cousin (born in 1944) lived there till he was 15 years old. Very strict. When he was a baby he went to Olive Mount, but once you were 5, you went to Fazakerley.

done my sea survival refresher there

Love the history podcasts, Bill. These days it's the only fresh air I get. L8.

Oh Billy I love your videos and speaking out about the homeless which is greatly needed, not only that you are helping your friend to get sober which is amazing, I lost my husband and son at hboro and I know what it’s like to sink in to alcoholism I feel I need to speak out about my journey and whatever way I feel I need to get it out of my system and I think you can help Xx

I was a binman for 22 years that was my round every Friday, I seen it derelict an run down the only building at the time that was used was the nursery behind the clock on the right ,it's nice to see they have saved the baths an turned so many into residential living it's a pity they don't do nothing with the canteen in the clock building itself 😊😊

Billy,you should do a pod about the history of Fazakerley, including the hospital, the Fazakerley family and how the cottage homes came about. That would be so much more interesting x

Bloody hell! I've lived here all my life and never thoughts there would be anything beyond the tower! Amazing 👍

I'm a Brummy..got out of Walton in 2004 and lived in a big hostel in Fazakerley for a few months whilst I tried to stay clean for a while..I quite liked it there lol😂 on a side note it's great to see old buildings like these and the pool etc having money invested into them and kept open and relevant and functional..too many times in our cities we see battered vacant building burned out and left etc.

I learned how to swim in that pool. Back in the late 50`s and early 1960`s, our primary school (Barlows Lane) used to arrange regular visits to the `Cottage Homes Bath`. Mr Varley was our regular teacher in this activity.

Hi Billy, I really enjoyed this video, it was educational and thought provoking mate. Thanks Billy. John.👍

Alright Bill so interesting to hear the information you provide it's great to hear your news about local areas and local people it's so refreshing to get facts

Alright Bill, keep up the great content💯 ☘️✌🏻peace✌🏻☘️🎭

I'm from Fazak 💙

Really interesting Billy. Love social history. xx

Is this what you are into social history, I am aswell love my local history, I bet i could write a book on my local history I've always loved my local history cos Lancaster is a very historic City it goes back to Roman times and Lancaster means lan after the river Lune, and caster after the castle which is about a thousand years old, ask Billy and Judda about the Castle they've both been locked up inside them massive Gates, it was built by King John who was the king in Robin Hood times, sorry for giving your past away Boys but it's something you would say yourselves 💙🙏💯.

On homeless addiction & prison I've been touched by them all it helps to watch bill

Born and bred in Fazakerly used to be a great place to live. Not so much now. There used to be an old fella called Corny, when I was a kid who used to stand outside the homes telling everyone it was half past two, every single day. We used to swim in the baths with the school. Happy days.

I grew up in Kirkby but emigrated to Canada in 2001 and really enjoy your channel Billy, the place you were in used to called Cottage Homes where a lot people with mental illness and other challenges lived in the houses or group home, everything was great as they were cared for, got their medications and had a daily routine, then the health authority introduced care in the community and closed down the cottage homes and put residents into flats and made them responsible for taking their own medication, feeding themselves etc which was pretty much a fail, many ended up living on the streets or in jail for petty crimes, you probably came across a few who shouldn't have been put in prison but simply slipped through the care net of a failed system?

hell yeah deffo back to the future,, i bought a hover board years ago from argos,took it back as it had wheels on it🤣

It’s nice to see some listed buildings are being used and not left to rot.but I think of the youth today are not bothered about their history that is the problem of the country.well done billy 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

When we were kids the mams would threaten the kids with being sent sent to the cottage homes if they were naughty. Used those baths with Barlows Lane primary. The changing rooms were either side of the baths. They were tattered/torn missing curtains on the boys side giving the girls a good laugh as we tried hiding behind towels.

Bill can you some videos in wavertree? Can look around the old prison cells by picton clock.

Billy I think someone has mentioned in a previous post try and get Frank Carlyle on a podcast with you or have a walkabout with him? He's an old school scouser very knowledgeable in liverpool history etc and tells it in a very interesting and entertaining way

I remember being in Dyson Hall in 81 82 and one of the staff took me watch Everton when I think Bob Latchford played for them. I met some top lads from Liverpool.
