So true. I loved the footage too.

Thank you for bringing back so many forgotten memories, these areas were my stomping grounds as a nipper. I was born in Garabaldi terrace next to the waterworks and would roam all over the city unaccompanied and unafraid because everyone looked out for you, many a time I got lost and someone would take me to a policeman who would get me safely home. In some respects there was 'The good old days.

Thank you for sharing this.

Great. Thanks very much for posting this!

Great video.👏Thank you.👍

At 4-15 the Vauxhall Velox car in the picture of Mill Rd.is my first car I lived in 57 Mill Rd I have some great memories of Everton. thanks for the video.

I lived in Creswick st. 1945 to 1970. I use to go past the water works to Margaret St baths. It was a good area.plenty of laughs. Plenty of pubs. Good transport . I use to go the grafton. And the cabin to see the beatles. Our house was painted blue and white. We was everton supporters.

I remember it all like it was yesterday ......Glad you liked it.

They where hard times but you new every one on the street. thanks for the the time travel, my long lost boyhood memories of Liverpool. My nan ran the Rydel St Pub in Anfield . As a lad many Football players paid a visit. 1961er thanks to the Photographer 🇦🇺👍

Hi Mike......glad it stired up some memories for you......can't ask for more. Dave

Hi Cresta59 It's so great that you and your sis are on vid. I seem to collecting a good few "actors" from 60's. I'm so pleased you enjoyed seeing your past . I nearly lost all this footage but I've got lots of copies now....lol.

Great video,Great memories,Thank you.👍

Thanks Peter for watching.

Wow, that brings back some memories. Although I'm not from Liverpool my my is and my nan lived in Holbeck St off Priory Rd. Don't suppose there's any old photos of Russell St around are there, a great uncle had a chemist shop there.

Great to find this, I was nine years old when this was filmed living in Caird street. I probably went to school with some of the kids. Whitefield rd and then Margret Street seniors. plus Margy Baths. Brings nice thoughts and tears to my eyes. would like to copy to disc to show my parents. So many good memories

Rob...I'm chuffed you enjoyed vid....I thought I'd lost that old footage forever. Dave

I was brought up in the small part of Queens Road towards Breckfield Road. Recognised a lot of those streets and pubs - sadly too young to drink!

I'm so glad you have good memories of this Thomas....goodluck to you and family.

Really enjoyable Thank You

@krogsdamvej thanks for this it brings back so many memories i lived in china street of netherfield road and know most places shown i now live in spain and have tears in my eyes looking at this its not perfect there but willalways be HOME

This was the area my mum was from. She came back and i was born in Liverpool in 1965 in Walton Hosp

Hi "tinysstupidstunt25".....Delighted you enjoyed the old vid.....I know Dunkeld St.very well. Thanks for kind words. It's also great to hear from so many people from the Everton/lpool area.

I was 10 years old when this was filmed and used to live in Aber st....I would normally have been kicking a ball around in the street....I must have been call in for my tea...or maybe Dr Who was on the Telly !........Many, many thanks for the memories, Davlin !

Brought up in Salisbury Street then Ashfield Gardens tenements. I'm glad someone took the time in '65 to shoot the footage. I was 10. All of the older people filmed will be dead. Interesting that the bonfires of wood from the Victorian terraced houses would be anathema today. Built with Western Hemlock doors and Redwood flooring (cheap at the time) today it would all be reclaimed and sold for a good profit.

thaks for this so mahy memories i lived in china street off netherfield road so know most of what is here i the vid i have tears in my eyes ilove liverpool then and ilove it now i live in spain now and this makes me miss it even more its not perfect there but it will always always be home

@scouseau Thanks for comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the visit to the past....goodluck in Ozzy.

susiehood.....Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Dave

Fantastic footage. I used to live in Hughes Street. Both my sister and I turn up in this film !! Thank you so much for sharing it. It really has brought back floods of memories.

I've read about and seen pictures of Liverpool's bygone days but I think film captures it best.

Great footage Dave, My Mother was from this area, just after I was born we lived in Newland Street, before heading to the then new town Kirkby, in the fifties, as many families did. My Mothers is in her eighties now and enjoyed your footage, Im in my sixties now. I was pleased you where credited on the (NHS The Perfect Storm - Panorama), which showed your footage, I was watching it in my Mothers early on tonight, thought provoking documentary.

adman...hi ..glad you liked it ....

This footage was taken by me and my brother.....

@filthykafur Thanks for watching and I'm glad it brought back some memories.

brilliant xx

Historically important footage. You can still see lots of bomb damage from the war, (bomb sites were fantastic adventure playgrounds for the kids). It looks a gloomy, deprived place but you still see the men in suits and ties as was the norm back them.

Evertonic...glad you liked it. Dave

intriguing!

My pleasure and I'm glad you liked it. There is a free app for copying vids off utube... "Any video convertor".....then you can put on DVD ....hope it works for you...I use it all the time.

2:30 I went to Butler Street School mid 60’s we did swimming lessons at Margaret Street Baths😊

Oh my god enjoyed this i have just see my late grandma and her sisters, i lived in Deacon street. Hi Dave i believe you filmed this footage im wondering if we are related.

Great stuff! I lived in Fishguard Street from '56 when I was born to '67 when the whole area was demolished. I remember going to Margaret Street baths every Saturday morning and St Chrysostom's church every Sunday.

Hey Buzz, where roughly was Fishguard Street? Would I be correct in saying that it was where Dobson Street now is? Thank you.

Will post to you later Len....hope all is well with you and family. Dave W

Apart from the Water Tower, of which there are but glimpses, the only building still recognisable today is The Grapes pub. It's now used for accommodation. There is little or no evidence of wartime bombing in this film. The open spaces and rubble are caused by demolition to clear slums. I recall this area well as I lived nearby and went to school on Breckfield road South.

Great footage. Quite shocking how there was still so much rubble 20 years after the end of WWII.

@stephenlamb6813

Some of the rubble would have been from the so-called "slum clearances" by the Council.

excellent clips,i used to live in aber street

Lived around the grapes all my life brill footage.

@johnd1224 I know what you mean....glad you watched it though as some things should not be forgotten. Best of luck in Spain

I've watched several films like these on you tube , but I've never seen anything of, or near, Portland St and Tatlock St, where my mother and her family lived till 1920. That's near St Silvester's Church.

Wow! My dad and mum had just moved to a bedsit on St Domingo Grove with a baby me

hi i lived in priory road at the top of st.georges hill then moved to st.georges heights in 1967 when our house was pulled down !!i was 13 at the time remember mitford st well had lots of mates there ! remember ritchie green ?? or the ackos?? the currys? the leas ?

everton1954......sounds like great memories for you....not familiar with the names though but the area yes indeed.

Thanks for posting this video. My grandfather Jack Taylor was born at 15 St Chrysostom Street in 1908 but I could not find any record of this street in old maps of Liverpool until I saw it on your film at 2:38. On the 1898 map of Liverpool I can see Aubrey Street, Queens Road, and Whitefield Lane but there are two unnamed streets next to St Chrysostom Church. Can anyone tell me which one is St Chrysostom Street. His mother Fanny lived there possibly until the 1950s

Wonderful footage. Thanks for sharing. Is there any way of getting a copy please?

I lived in abbot Street off heyworth Street, lots of memories and all good

know what ya mean John te memorys come flooding back i meself come from Arkwright st and used to go to Rosscommon st school ,we used to go to Margerate st for metlework it seamed a million miles away

I am amazed how many victorian street lamps there were then. If that had been London they would probably have preserved them as historical features! Cobbled streets also look so much nicer and slow down the traffic so safer for kids. Lets dig the tarmac out and go back to cobbles on side streets!! Anyone agree?

My lovely Aunt lived in St.Chrysostom St .....

*year 2165* we will be the history

Hello there, just wondering who currently owns this footage?

Oh I see. I am currently a student working on documentary about an older lady who grew up in Liverpool during this period and the decade prior and I have been searching for archival footage from the time she was there. Just wondering if you would grant permission for me to use some of the footage in the documentary? (if we decided to use archival footage, still unsure at this stage).

I used to live in queens road opposite Harriet terrace went to st Michael's school in mill road

footage by Davlin Studio......or whatever you want....goodluck.

boss vid this 12 years before i was born grew up in langsdale st then moved to st chrysostoms way off margaret st an it looked nothing like this !!!

Hey mate, how would you liked to be accredited?

you have my permission...perhaps a small credit if you use it.....goodluck.

Hi Dave how is life treating you is Lin ok All well with my family having a pint with Mike tomorrow Len

Hello, could you get in touch? I'd like to speak to you about getting permission to use this footage for a BBC programme. Thanks very much, Stephanie

You did buy some crap cars Len......LOL

LOL!

Many atime on my bike...end up on my ass.
