there is a pub on the junction of Belmont Road & West Derby Road in Liverpool 6, called 'The Belmont'. apparently Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley would go in for a drink after touring shows in nearby Newsham park.

Fascinating, I grew up in liverpool in the 60's and never heard of this . In fact I remember the collective opinion during the 70's and 80's the IRA would never bomb liverpool because of the Irish who lived here.

Wow,, very interesting series. Maybe one on the FWA (free wales army) as there is a connection with 'Liverpool' after the 'Llyn Celyn' reservoir was constructed to provide water to 'Liverpool corporation' the FWA wanted to blow it up. The FWA had connections with members from the IRA, there are a few clips/vids here on YT regarding the FWA... Well worth a look.

Was looking forward to watching this but there are huge problems in the first 10 minutes: 4:15 That's not Crosby - it's Waterloo/Brighton-le-Sands, and where was the explosion on this street, and what if anything was damaged? 4:45 The Leeds/Liverpool canal is at least a mile from Waterloo/Brighton-le-Sands and in 1939 there were plenty of houses between it and the street he was on, all a lot closer that would have heard/felt the explosion better. Also what happened - was the pylon destroyed and what happened to the electricity supply - was it disrupted? 8:20 - what happened with the Walton Prison bomb - did it work? He gives no information! Too many mistakes - I stopped watching after that.
