A little different video for my channel but myself and my family took a visit up St Johns Beacon which is also known as the Radio City Tower in Liverpool.
I wanted to share the views and our experience.
I would highly recommend a visit if you have not been. Maybe go on a less windy & rainy day though!
I hope you enjoy the video!

I left the greatest city 30 odd years ago looking for work so it’s always great to see footage like this. Can remember first going up the tower when I was about 9 or 10 with my older brother. Cost about 20 pence back in the day! 💙

His company Rushworths imported The Beatles first guitars from Germany,richenbachers. My mum was in mI6 based in Cressington where the French resistance was organised from

As well as a restaurant and a snack bar at the top of the tower there was also a restaurant on the ground, a sort of beefeater type. One day myself and a few mates went in to have a posh meal. After lookin at the menu you could order a starter, main and a desert. My mate Billy ordered a soup and the waitress asked would he like anything else. He replied 'yeah a couple of butties'.

Great video. A schoolmate and I went up around 1985 and had magnificent views on a clear day. The upper level was open air and the lower level was slowly revolving. Wasn't there three revolution speeds 1, 2 or 3 rp/h? Distinctly remember watching the join in the floor where the moving outer section slid past the inner stationary section. Still have my 30p ticket from that memorable day.

Cool video, have you ever gone up to the Tower in the Anglican cathederal in Liverpool? Might be too much for the kids as its 108 steps and 2 lifts but the view at the top is equally as stunning but a lot windier!

The one and only time I went up there was in the Autumn of 1980 - back then there was a restaurant at the top and it revolved slowly so you got to see the whole panorama while sitting at your table.

not been up the Beacon since I was a kid... It was a revolving restaurant back then. Might have to do it again. I've been up the CN Tower twice, so should be a cake walk. Actually... all of those visits.... a meal was eaten. Theme there, i'm a greedy sod.

My dad (now sadly passed away ) took me up on to the very top long before it became the radio city tower. It wasn't too bad a day ( what i can remember of it) a bit blowy but, not too bad. As it was my only time i went up there i felt a bit nervous but, my dad tried to assure me i was safe as it also had a well reinforced about 9 ft or so safety perimeter all the way around it. It was open to the elements of the weather. & the resturant was just a few feet below us that was on a slow rotating turntable Not that i ever went there. But, as far as i am aware of the last time i checked no-one was allowed up there apart from the son called DJ's security & any other work crew. & that was just before we had our first lock down So, if things have changed since fine. But, if anyone knows the prices please forward or inform myself as i would very much like to take my terrified G.F up to the observation deck. & no i do myself have a fear of heights aswell & yet i have flown & i absdolutely ❤💕💓 it. ( work that out 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 no i can't either) when i was in my mid to late teens (no g.f then) 😉

My wife and I shall be visiting Liverpool soon, so we are trying to plan what to see and do while we are there. Not sure whether to go up the Radio City Tower at £7.50 each, or Manchester Cathedral Tower at £7.00 each ... surely one of them is plenty to see the sights of Liverpool. Which one do you think offers the better views ?
