Interesting film. A world with so few cars, i like it.

I was born in Mill Road hospital and lived at 56 Caird street during this time. I went to Steer Street school.

[buzzenald]

That certainly brought back a few memories. I was born in Mill Road hospital, grew up in Fishguard Street and went to Queens Road school. I believe Paul McCartney's dad also lived in Fishguard Street when he was young.

Was there a pub called The Clarence at the corner of Creswell Street or Creswell Crescent?

Great song, brilliant historical record of Liverpool.

[Auto2112Rush]

Hi Cresta,is Aber Street on this clip?I was born there.Great clips.

[andzwe]

Very nice, atmospheric, nostalgic flashback, Tom! It explains a lot about the sort of music you make and where it comes from.

All the best for 2008 and....Rock On!

You truly have given "Liverpool 1965" an extra lease of life with a new heart.

Your song and photo's have added so much feeling to it.

[Cresta59]

Thank you Dave. I couldn't have done anything without that film. I thank you again for sharing it, and for giving me the permission to make use of it. This was something I just had to do.

[eggzy43]

eric

[Cresta59]

Hi Eric,

yes, the area of the old Gregsons well, and of course "Greggies" pub. I lived just a stonesthrow away in Hughes Street.

[steveas249]

Nice song. Like it. Is this yours or a cover? I don't recognise 1965 Liverpool. It looks like another world.

[Cresta59]

Thank you. The song is original. Liverpool in '65 was another world, but also a great place to grow up. Life was hard, but scousers are the best people in the world. They have a knack of making the best of everything instead of moaning.
