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…
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.
I love that purple aki has been doing the rounds for decades at this point, its amazing 😂
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".

Remember what happened to George Leatherbarrow....

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 UA-cam 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.
Choo choo!
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
i love watching these
Good old Liverpool. Born in Venmore St right opposite the Kop in 1958. It is a place that never leaves you ( bit like the Christian Brothers), you spend your life trawing through things to do with the docks, the landing stage, the sea, and yet (like a big mac) it don't matter how much you consume and digest, you remain hungry for more. It's a melancholy sickness for the past and what no longer remains, apart from our memories.I ain't been back in 12 years. I don't want to spoil the illusion. If you remember the Pier Head and the Princes Landing Stage in the early 1960's you'll know exactly what |I mean. Sorry to rant.
I totally agree with the 60s thing I can still smell the ferry boats the buses at the terminal and the little shop heading up to the Strand
My mother Family are from Capel Celyn, if they wanted to make our island more beautiful they should have flooded Liverpool !! Cofiwch Dryweryn !!
Even the escalator didn’t want to work
They should come and do a follow up and show everybody what a sh***ole it is now!! Promised everything, given nothing, got to fight to even get them to cut the grass, even in the housing estates. People used to come from miles around to walk on the Beacon, now, you're lucky if you can find anywhere that's fit to walk on and their excuse is, 'it's for the wildlife!!' There's more and more wildlife being hit by cars because the boundaries that they once had, have all disappeared and they are wandering onto the roads to get to what they see as a continuation of their territory!!! All because this council is only interested in lining it's own pockets with all the 'affordable' houses being built, as far as the eye can see. Time they spent a bit of time looking at the older estates and looking how they can be brought into this century and give the town what it needs!!!
What did they fight for?
You're nicked Sunshine!
It's a fare cop guv.
@@AndrewDaley-lr9qg hahahhha!! nice one.
Whatever happened to the public information films. Fun fact: The Spinners Motown band had to be known as the Detroit Spinners in the UK because of this band.
A priceless historical document of this wonderful town - one of my favourites. Very tastefully colourised, and tremendouslly nostalgic
Presenter is Austin Mitchell. Just before he became an MP.
Nearly 100 years on and they are still debating about excavation of the amphitheater because of a building built around the time of this film!! How frustrating, it’s my city and that of my fathers and grandfathers but we take it for granted until it’s too late and gone, please excavate the amphitheater and put Chester back on the map for the best of reasons. Great film, thanks for posting it.
When you hear the stat that France abolished this in 1887 and Poland abolished this in 1773... It puts it massively into perspective on how behind the UK was.. Thank goodness for people that saw sense like Bill Pobjoy - it's hard to think this was only 43 years ago, you wonder about how many cycles of beatings were allowed to happen for so long..
who's watching this for their exams
me! i got the exam tommorow so im basically revising last minute
@@giga_ae same have you got any advice?
Nearly 100 years now and nothing’s changed. Thanks for sharing
He's been doing the rounds in Yorkshire lately. Sightings in Leeds and Sheffield...
After all that, where is the Cheshire Cat?
Bill shankly was a special man a good man and the people loved him from all clubs .....he was honest and spoke a language that people could understand ...as a man manager there has never been anyone better ...and it's pretty certain there ever will be He was a complete one off ... i wish i could have met him and chatted with him over a cup of tea
Was this released in 1789?
Thank you, that will be a great help Mike
