Ferry Across The Mersey...Ken Dodd and his Diddy Men ❤
The phrase Cliffs bloods red has always been etched in my head
Absolutely amazing. Nostalgia times 10. I'm walking through here being one of the people in the past. Love it 👍👍👍
I’ve believed this for decades.
..and then in 2024 ..full a wife beating working class pub dwellers , talking about football and visiting the betting shop.
When I was a teenager he used to walk around town and you’d always see him feeling muscles
I was born in Liverpool in 1946 about half a mile from this cathedral site in the diocese of The Sacred Heart. Coming from an Irish catholic family my religion was a major part of my early upbringing, I was expected to become an altar boy, and my grandmother, mother and aunt worked in the convent or the Sisters Of Mercy so I got more of an ear bashing about Catholasisim than most, maybe that has something to do with my atheism now. I could never get my head around being told I was never to set foot in the cathedral and I never did. Working outside the UK most of my working life, I was home on leave back in the 1990s and was boosing in town when I came upon the cathedral and decided to go inside and see it. This day blew me away I now go every time I am in Liverpool, for me It is the most beautiful building in the country, I stand in awe of the magnificence of this edifice but look at it more from a superb piece of engineering rather than a church although I treat it with all the reverence it is due.
Very true John so proud of both are Cathedrals
Was at Southport jus a couple of weeks ago. Shocked by the decline. Fair wasn't open, the pier was shut......
7:40 Tiffany’s Thoughts. Ironically Clayton Squares frontman Denny Alexander (far right, barely in shot) later fronted The Thoughts
Not sure what's more depressing, that i'm not alive there or how it looks today
Stunning recollection of a Liverpool lost.
According to someone who commented this in a video made by ISATW he's a grim squeezer
The *MASSIVE* big *WOODEN FRONT DOORS* on the *CATHEDRAL* was a GIFT from *INDIA* and you can screw big spikes into the door to keep the *ELEPHANTS* away although sadly we didn't have any *ELEPHANTS in LIVERPOOL* at the time apart from my *MOTHER IN LAW* who I've got locked in my basement.But we BRITS used to love building *CHURCHES* I've got bloody 3 of them on my street alone and there's just no need for it and now old churches in the UK are getting converted into *APARTMENTS* because they can't even get 10 WORSHIPPERS through the doors and today's *RELIGION* to our youth is now *SOCIAL MEDIA* and I've not got a *RELIGIOUS* bone in my body myself but I think it still has a place in *ENGLAND/BRITAN*
No way is Mick 42 lol, looks about 75 WW2 veteran
I was there outside the Everyman waving my flag 10 years old...🎉🎉
Liverpool cathedral tower was base jumped in august 1991.
Love Liverpool.
We all have love Aki with salt fish 🇯🇲
Thin walls not enough insulation making them very cold to live in. Also the steel reinforcement was un treated also the concrete used was not waterproof this all came together causing concrete cancer caused by the steel rusting.
5:00 What's that shelter above the Roman shrine of Minerva? It isn't there now. Interesting that they emphasise King Edgar, the Anglo Saxon. He had his semi-mythical crowning, nearby, on the River Dee.
Honestly, if ye that paranoid abar taking A job on Saturday nights, why work it when you don't really have to ?
Christ I've watched kids shows presented more intelligently than this
Your da nicks gnomes
I don’t fear death. But I fear Purple Aki…
Guard your muscles homes
AMAZING TO SEE THIS FILM. IT’S JUST REMINDING ME NOT SO MUCH OLD BUILDINGS AS MUCH AS OLD COMMUNITY THAT EXISTED IN THOSE STREETS. AND AMAZING CHARACTERS LIKEBOB BENNETT, PETER WATSON, RONNIE’FISH N CHIPS, BERTIE CAPALDI’S ICE CREAM VAN, AND HIS SISTERS CAFE. AND SEEING PARTS OF BARRHEAD I NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
Good God, I know every footstep that Film shows with its "Tour of Barrhead"! I'm going back when I was Ten Year Old......1945. Little did I know then I would be Proprietor of the Arthurlie Inns, featured in the Film . I'll need to get a "copy film" for my Family Scrap Book! These days are so P{recipes and a great part go Barrhead's History.
I saw him in Glasgow, apparently he hops trains to all over the North. Couldn't believe my eyes, was with my mate and I threatened to drag him over to Aki, poor bloke bolted
Brilliant, Ken was an absolute legend, there will never be another!
Always thought he was just an urban legend
Anyone else here after “Interesting Stuff From Around The World” video?
Yes bro, but I actually met him in HMP Walton (Liverpool) back in the day
There's quite simply nowhere like it. I've lived overseas for the best past of 30 years, and currently I'm sitting in our summer place in Lisbon, but if somebody asks, and I tell them I'm from Liverpool, they instantly brighten up.
very true I've been to Lisbon twice always seems to remind me of Liverpool
@@andybb Believe it or not, there's a busy dive bar downtown called "Liverpool".
@@davidroberts6549 Ha prob go there next time

Love this series. Wish there were more of these.
Where did you find these vidoes? Where can I find more? cheers mate. I want to show it to my grandad he is 92 years old.
I've seen this guys comments all over RUclips in random places for years..now here he is. Very strange.
How in a place like Liverpool has he never been knocked off?
I've always believed the Titanic could easily have passed the Iceberg and had better visibility than people make it out to be. Even a top speed the turning circle was enormous making the ship's ability to turn quickly and widely an easy task. Nobody seems to ask - why - did the Titanic hit an Iceberg? I have heard very bad answers that doesn't much water. As for Lord, some of his answers in the American inquiry was strange. Some contradictions and deceptive language was used especially around the subject of him leaving the bridge to go to his quarters to rest, etc.
5:16 Is this idiot for real?
YNWA hits different after this 😂
Whats's the name of the song please?
Whats this doc called
Grew up in St. Helens. I was of a more slight build, but a lot of my friends played rugby league at a high level so were on the more muscly side. Nothing that nasty happened to them but we’d frequently see him around town and he’d always come over and start squeezing biceps, etc. Aki became quite infatuated with a member of the Knowles family who lived round my way. So much so, he used to hang around outside the Knowles house at all hours. Needless to say, Daddy Knowles eventually got a tad fed up with this, and chased Aki with a pitch fork. So many stories it’s difficult to separate the myth from the truth but how he has survived for long without something permanent happening to him baffles me. I know he ended up in Preston Prison at some point and of course got beaten to within an inch of his life, so the story goes.
I was born in Liverpool down by the docks. An era I remember a city I love
PBS series - Secrets of the Dead,Abandoning the Titanic Season 18, Episode 5-they conclude properly the the captain and crew of the Titanic are to blame. Other ships in the area had their wireless shut off for the night and waiting for daylight - the was that much ice.Even if they knew they couldn't get there except thru the ice that had just punched holes in the largest ship afloat.The Ships owners said under no circumstances were they to risk going thru ice flows at night
