The only slaves that came up the Mersey were the Irish one's Lad, boats leaving Liverpool were laden with "Made in England" exports to the Empire, what they brought back was tabac leaf, sugar, spices, timber and raw material's from the maritime world for processing in the UK, the abolition of slavery had no effect on the finances earned by the port of Liverpool because the port did not export slaves but it did send Hulks full of prisoner's to the colonies ? : )

Liverpool has so much history, i think what surprises a lot of people as well who don't live here is the amount of stuff that was actually invented in Liverpool . Liverpool is in a class of it's own a wonderful city. Thank you for your footage i am catching up on all your videos your such a inspiration thank you.❤

Being a royal navy veteran and loads of my family served in the royal and the merch and of course the dockers in the family for decades too I love that place, the whole of Albert dock and its maritime history

Great vlog K, credit to the City of Liverpool for having that museum. How many places "re-write" history or "brush over" it ? Australia ! Many cities around UK involved in slavery history, that statue thrown in the harbour in Bristol ! Stolen gems & valuable artifacts, down in London, being "lent" back to Ghana to "borrow" !

Great video again mate..it's great the maritime museum..most of the fantastic architecture you see in Liverpool now was built way after the Slave trade was abolished in about 1810 like the 3 graces,St Georges Hall etc..the old docks were the slave ships used to sail from in the 1700s where the strand is now are buried under buildings..there's definitely buildings built during the slave trade left but you'll be surprised how much of it was built in the later 1800s..keep em coming mate.

Love watching your videos here in London. We visited Liverpool in early November 23 and enjoyed all the maritime museum especially the customs exhibition. Keep up the great works!

I also think the locks are a scruffy eyesore. Your idea of melting them down and produce a statue, but how much would that cost 😕. Keep up your good work Kev. Kathy xxx

Yeah I remember all the sound effects when I was a kid when we went with the school was spooky la 😂😂
-
Good idea on the locks. Guess they could make a new statue every decade, to clear out any new locks off the railings
-
Kev, the love locks in Amsterdam are routinely removed by the Council. Maybe that's what Liverpool City Council should have done before damage was caused to railings.
-
Those locks are horrible and just an eyesore. Problem is to remove them all they'd probably have to redo the fence and there's no money to pay for it. Then as soon as the fence is redone, people will put on more locks!

Liverpool city council should be doing something about the homeless problem weve got? I was made to believe that in winter once the temperature drops below 2 degrees then the council are supposed to house every homeless person of the street and into temp accommodation? But it doesn't look like this is happening ive spoke to lots of homeless people who say the council should be helping when it gets very cold but there not 😮😢

My Mrs says the piermasters house holds an evil spirit, we were walking through, got part way through and she started to panic and said to get out immediately because of this spirit
