I love how you equate the damage caused by WW2 bombing by the Germans as "slums2. Liverpool was the second-most bombed city after London during the War.

So many memories of growing up in the 50s and 60s. No drug addled morons to worry about, no kids murdering each other with knives outside of school and no religious nut cases blowing us up. They were for me, care free days.😊

@@stormytempest6521 . So you were there as well, so much fun with little to no interference fron the adults. I think the main reason was, the copper that walked the streets was plucked straight from the military. So he had self discipline, and he'd been there done that. Not a chance of getting one over him as a cheeky nipper. Also all the men were in work, earning a wage that covered all of the running costs of a home. If mum went out to work, it was for pin money for emergencies and Christmas. Me and my brother would go to me nans for our tea after school then me grandad would walk us home at about 6 o'clock if it was the dark winter months.

Oh yeah. History is great, as long as you're not living in it of course. Overcrowding, freezing cold, damp, outside toilets, tin baths, coal fire in only one room, cockroaches, no NHS, a couple of world wars thrown in. A veritable paradise. If only we could get those days back.

@@Makeyourselfbig I quite agree. I did some research on a family friend who's ancestors lived in Everton around 1900. They lived in a terraced house, one room ground floor, one room upstairs, no kitchen (obviously no bathroom). Another family lived in two tiny rooms in the basement. L'pool City Council eventually passed a law to stop people living in basements because they were so squalid and unhealthy. These houses never had an electricity supply installed. Only gas lights until they were demolished 1940s/50s. Ah, the good old days!

I was born in the sixties in Everton. A slum clearance area. When you moved out to go to Cantril Farm, or Norris Green..lol, me and the mates went in the empty house and got all the goodies. The stuff people left behind would now be classed as valuable antiques. My mate got a Napoleonic sword, which we used to chop the heads off the newel posts ( round bit on the bannister). Great fun. Never got bored. Never had any money…just loved it. 😂😂
