There's been alot of so called regeneration but somehow the city looked more prosperous back then. Big Liverpool born department stores like Lewis's, Rapid, Clayton Square and TJs doing really well. Culturally richer too with Quiggins, Cream, Scouse bands in the charts, Wade Smith and the market stalls. Town felt a more local affair compared to now for better or worse but so glad this was my childhood.

Ironic that the prize for winning the European Capital of Culture in 2008 was to destroy the actual culture of Liverpool by knocking down a good chunk of the city and building a shopping mall consisting of global chain stores and cardboard student accommodation. They've absolutely ruined the place.

Welcome to globalisation, where everyone and everything is the same

I am 77yrs old and have lived in Norfolk and Cambridge since 1976. I bought my first record player and tiny transistor radio from Rushworth & Draper when in my early teens. Happy memories. 😃 ♥️

I remember me mum taking me to the grotto in T J Hughes about 1955, I drove buses up Church Street in the 1970s. Me and the mates used to start our pub crawl in the Legs Of Man. I remember steam trains in Lime Street Station and the overhead railway (the dockers umbrella) I moved away from the area in 2016 but I will always be a Scouser.

But... this feels like last week... damn I'm old.

My thoughts exactly. When one is in one's 70s, the nighties feel like about 4 weeks ago. One thought that struck me was: in what way was Liverpool One an improvement?

i know what you mean! even the 70s and 80s don't seem that long ago to me! i can even remember the 60s but that does feel like a long long time ago in my mind in a Liverpool that doesn't exist anymore with a lot of friends and family sadly long gone

Absolutely brilliant, noticed a few faces and places on this from the past. Loved it.

Awaiting enrichment?

We have sold our soul, that's the price we have to pay to compete against other cities...sad but true !!

When Liverpool was actually scouse, a lot of people can't admit what's happening now for some reason.

It’s like that in my head now with Lada’s and Datsun Cherry everywhere! The Fiat in Bold Street looks so new!

One van has 051 on it before it went to 0151

Wimpy... and a Lada. There are places (we) remember....

The Odeon, brought back floods.

Today it looks like a foreign country unfortunately. The rapid shift in the city center over the past 2 years has been terrifying. Do we lose Liverpool or do we keep it ?
