Liverpool, with all its unique intricacies, is a fascinating melting-pot of all that society has to offer, both good and bad. From a sociology point of view, I think you do a great job chronicling the life and times of that great city. You should be proud of yourself for capturing the living history of Merseyside and your work is much valued.

I was born in walton billy of city road I moved to newcastle when I was 12 yrs old my dad was a ship builder so we moved for work . I remember most of these places you shown on the video lol even tho it was over 45 yrs ago . I use to bunk in to the Everton's games over the wall with my mates 😂 lol I sound like a Geordie now but my heart is still in liverpool . I like to visit liverpool every few yrs billy but it's changed so much now was a mint place to grow up when I was a lad both walton and stanley park where my playground . Thanks for video mate brought back memories

I remember taking a group of foreign businessmen to a game at Goodison after picking them up from Lime Street and they couldnt believe that massive football clubs in this country don't help regenerate their local areas. To them its just baffling - utter poverty alongside clubs spending millions on individuals. LFC have done a bit but its pretty pathetic instead of funding regeneation programmes.

Looks like there was once industry and money in the area at one time. And then when the industry goes the money goes.It's a shame.

Hey Billy that building around the pizza place at 03:03 is the entrance to the old monkey zoo from the 1800's. If you look above the Pizza sign you can still see the monkeys in the white paint. Its Grade One listed and cant be knocked down. Apparently it was a major attraction at the time in the UK and King George V visited and named the pub Prince of Wales the Sod House because they used to put sods (wet chunks of soil and grass) on the barrels to keep them cool.

Great video Billy it brought back a lot of memories . Although I was born a brummie my mum and dad and family were from Liverpool I can remember playing footie under breeze hill and running around Walton church and wally hall park . Used to travel every other week to watch the blues play . Great city great people so sad to see the Walton run down but they will never break the people .

I liked your video but It also made me feel sad not just for this area, but for the country as a whole which is suffering. A few decades ago people had work and things were different but little by little its gone. So sad!

Brilliant tour. I’m not even from there but like to see other peoples areas, lives, buildings & history. Good that gym is still there. The old buildings are so sad - the council should be spending money on them as well as other things.

I live just round the corner from the clock tower, I never knew all that so thanks l always walk my dogs round there, I always walk through them subways it's fine..most of the people around here are sound 👍

Billy, I’ve watched you for years now, never missed an episode, or podcast ❤ I absolutely love your content and especially look forward to these type of videos, i moved to the city three years ago, to walton just by Dyson funnily enough, I have lots of similar pictures of the depravity round here, by goodison is bad but the village is nice 👌 p.s I heard that Bonnie day care used to be a zoo 😮 Ps thankyou so much for your daily uploads, live for them ❤

Billy, your podcast is growing in terms of quality content. Compelling and thought provoking in equal measure. When Everton move, I fear for the Walton community, the businesses and the residents. I know the club are working on keeping the fire burning, but it’s so sad. On a more positive note, I didn’t know the McCartney fact, and great teasing segway about similarities between the tower at the old hospital and the one in Fazackerly, both on the right heading into town from Kirkby. Fabulous stuff this. Hats off….btw I think we have a common link with ‘Jimmy Mc’ from Nursery St, Scottie, (my late Uncle) who’s very best mate was shall we say close to you, drove a white pick up van around Nethy etc.

How weird Walton hospital is where I was born in 1960 ,thanks for that billy 👍

The doorsteps and clock on the Bonnie Bear place are well smart what a nice building

I grew up in Walton in the 70’s and 80s. County Road and The Vale were the heart of the community. The big supermarkets destroyed it. New Years Eve outside Walton Church…..So many memories. We used to think South Liverpool was rough when we were kids how times have changed.

I was born in Olivia Street first Street in Bootle from Westminster Road, Walton Road and County Road were alive and so busy in the 60's and 70's it's such a shame when you walk along there now. I am in West Kirby now but still love that whole area. JIM

Love your videos. You should go to Bedford Road and Beatrice Street off Hawthorne Road / Stanley Road. It’s horrendous the alley ways are the worst in the whole of Merseyside. It’s like the return of the slums.

@matthewlovelock6928

Bedford Road Bootle on the docks side of Stanley is filthy and not like the Walton side. How mads that.

I was one of the first trainee welders taken on to make them alleygates which are very unknown to outsiders as we are the only area with south Sefton, birkenhead, knowsley an st helens areas to have them in every jigger (entry) in them areas. The reason they were put up was cus of the huge amount of crime that existed in are jiggers from house burgs, drug dealing and stashing and also acted as amazing warrens for people who did not want to be seen by the plod. In some areas you could walk a few miles without having to walk down a street, thats how extensive are alleyway system was. Anyway a proven fact we learnt on the training course was that in the 90,s the crime in the city was so bad that when the alley gates were put up firstly in the most crime rudden areas that they reduced crime 6 times more effectively than the police could. Most of the population of Merseyside are unaware of the huge impact that these alley gates had and still have when it comes to drug dealing and house burglaries especially. Irs not the piluce keeping your street safe. Its them weird gates that you have at the end of every street.

We would use that subway entrance in rice lane as a goal when we were young playing footie and use the adjoining wall for one twos,also played up on the oller facing hillside school down by the giro building ,l grew up in walton and it was brilliant never had any problems, l left in 81 but every time l go back no problems it certainly is not the most deprived area of liverpool, check anfield out for that title bill.

Hey Billy why don't you do videos on recovery houses? The council are paying a lot of money I'm in one now. What do you think about them? Are they just for profit or do they help people out? I know you have experience and I'll love to hear about it. Thanks

Anfield short walk for the football. The people here are super friendly and it's actually pretty safe. I feel loads safer here than I did in London or living in other places abroad. Beers at the local for £3. It's a boss place to live.

Liverpool history gos way back I in Warrington down the road love the place at rampworks in bootle now with my kid and mate .....hope jud OK and Joe

Your like me Billy. Love our old liverpool. If you study urban heritage, its so fascinating what really went on in them buildings historically. My grandfather was in the workhouse as a child were the now catholic cathedral stands. Go study that and the atrocities that went on in there. Sadly he was neglected as a child and felt safe in the workhouse from his parents Can you believe that. I went down the archives in the library and reaseached it. Wish i never now as the stories traumatised me.

as an Evertonian, even tho its progress for the club, i voted against a move to a new stadium because im also from Walton, born right in the shadow of that ground and you think this area is bad now, wait till Everton moves, there will be nothing for this area !..i used to play footy down them subbies and we meet up with some mates and arse about on the island that leads up to the road but the bizzies used to turn up to move us on, dont know wether that happens today, when you live there its sound you dont notice how bad it is, i love Walton but to be fair tho a lot of young families there now are quite happy to sit on their arse claiming benefit...one girl now living in my old street has 3 dogs that shit all over the place she never has a thought to clean up after them and spend all day just shouting their names to "get in" !..and she must be typical because just walking to the game your dodging massive stools of dog shit everywhere, so theyve got no money but they do have dogs. .!..the comings and going between the houses also is class !...
