Liverpool 1971 part 2

Who Cares listens to the voices of Liverpudlians being rehoused from inner city terraces to suburban high-rise estates. As we hear them describe how the moves have affected them negatively, we see the old terraces being demolished, boarded up houses, and vans taking people's possessions to the new estates. The faceless 'Corporation' of Liverpool (the local authority) has deemed that they must move, and few get any choice where they move to.

i was born in 1971, and from Cantril Farm/Stockbridge Village, and love the old film of the estate the old oxo blocks, and the flats with 21 floors by the shops and the maisonettes at old Roughsedge.. all long gone. Nice Memories!

@admanphoto well on part 1, where you have the delievery van driving towards the flats ive just drove around there 15 mins ago and thought nearly 40 years ago this was brand new.

@taxikarl You still live on Canny? I wish I was back there. Go to the Google image page, type Cantril Farm, and you'll see me and my footy team when I was a kid.

@archieland57 They might've been 'well built' once upon a time but those houses at the beginning of Part 1 ('Faulkner St etc) had more family's of rat's livin' in the walls than there was people. Get your point though. Those blocks were hideous places to live. Un-natural. You'd walk in-especially if there were nobody in) and you'd here the wind howl around. The loneliest sound in the world. There's only one solution to that. And we found it suspiciously right after the riot's. Smack tsunami. ?
