Don't know if these videos are on this site already but thought I would put them on. It's amazing how much our city has changed in less than a quarter of a century...

They are excellent, can't really take credit for them though. Just happened to find them.

It's amazing to see so many petrol stations in places like Toxteth and Garston, banks on Park Road (if you look closely enough you can see the Natwest and TSB) and banks on Smithdown Road!

And not one bar on Allerton Road!

Yeah, things have certainly changed in twenty years. Nice one all the same.

Great to see my Dad's old yellow Viva parked on the central reservation near Allerton Station and the Cheshire Lines Club where we used to hang around as kids :)

Great videos , it's strange how different people looked just 20 odd years ago. Liverpool looked much cleaner too

Whilst looking for a topice on Woolton, I chanced on this thread and thought it was worth a bump up !
