firstly here is the info on the old high level station
all info is in the link
disused-stations.org.uk/l/live...
been wanting to do this one for a while now and with the site secured up with network rail taking up all of the former high level station it was pretty much impossible
however when adam introduced me to the carpark which is slap bang in the middle of the former train station this was the next best thing and what a bloody view you get from both sides of this former train station.
in short the high level opened in 1874 and closed in 1972 then reopened in 1977 as the central station we know today.
but all info is in the link have a look there's lots more old photos there to
photos taken from disused station's website and from a few fbook historic groups...
and a bonus on this mooch is the old ghost signs spotted at the rear of bold street and actually on bold street itself......
the tunnel you see in the video you can look down on the now low level central station but for obvious reasons cannot access the site to see this
but if anyone from network rail is watching and fancies giving me a tour please get in touch...
here the link if you fancy buying me a coffee
no obligation just think of it as a tip jar...cheers

Excellent fellas, I never realised I was walking across an old railway bridge my whole life, and great to see our City from that high level, gives it more character.

I'm not from Liverpool, Sheffield actually, but travelled to and from Liverpool Central many times on our holidays to the Isle of Man. This was during the late 50s to the early 60s. I remember passing through the tunnels, there were a few gaps of daylight as we passed through. A larger gap gave a view of some of the updtream docks. The last tunnel if am correct was called Diggle Tunnel. I'm amused how much of the infrastructure still remains.

I used to love going up the car parks in my town and taking pictures and seeing what had changed, where everything is relative to other buildings and places always seems surprisingly different to what you think it is on the ground. It gives a whole different perspective. Also, when the fair is on or it snows it's great to go up them. Where I live isn't anywhere near as interesting as this though.

There’s one thing that always interested me was finding out where old railway lines go in Liverpool. I’m really into aviation but I also like looking up where the old railways went. It was only about 15 years ago I found out what dingle tunnel was. Used to live about 5 minutes from there when I was kid. Boss video again George.

That was brilliant, your city centre is much more scenic than what I grew up next to (Brum) & funny how you stuck your head out of all those windows, but went a funny colour on that small "big" wheel 🎡

Hi George, the photo at 6.45 is where the turntable used to be for the steam engines. They used to turn them around there so as the we’re heading the right way when leaving the station through the tunnel on the right.

Used to love that car park George and the views, then they changed the payment system which wasn’t working at the time, so I changed to mount pleasant, you make it sound easy so I might give it another try.

4:32 I can't believe what I'm seeing. Not since eyesore something similar in Carry On Sergeant. There it was painted stones lining the paths. Sometimes coal was used as an extra turning of the screw in the mind-numbing torture of the futile exercise. Dad confirms all too regular painting punishment In the "Lights Out. PUT THOSE DAMN lights OUT!"of the wartime blackout, tney at least showed you where the path was. To the point [at last]: What's the excuse for the multi-storey car park painting the route up and down all in white? How much does that cost to renew?!
