A Time Team Special: The Lost Dock Of Liverpool
April 22, 2008Watched this last night and thought it was brilliant. A few of the quotes concerning Liverpool that really made me proud ‘ first global city ‘ ‘ worlds greatest port city ‘. Also i found it amazing that the city was mortgaged to finance the building of the dock. Any councillors who watched it hopefully wont get any ideas regarding financing Capital of Culture. I was glad that Time Team managed to find at least one scouse historian who sounded extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city. If there is one moan i have its that it should of been longer. You got the feeling they were only scratching the surface with the docks , and that Liverpool has got so many stories to share with the world. Overall a great program and showcased Liverpool’s amazing history.
Thank you for posting about this program. I most likely have missed it being a Scouser in New York. I do listen to BBC Merseyside online when I can, and heard a mention about it today on the M and S Show.
I lived in Liverpool during a time when Town Hall were talking about selling off some of our treasures to pay the electric bill. Glad that didn’t happen (or did it?).
Like you, the program made me feel good that our city was being honored for a change. It made me even prouder to be from Liverpool, but I have always loved her because there is no place in the world with her spirit.
I hope all the money being poured in has not changed that.
