Liverpool’s Ancient Stones

A very interesting vid. As well as adventurous to head out in that weather!. I couldn't decide whether you needed an umbrella or a lifeboat on occasions. And yes, we did all expect a rendition of 'Ferry cross the Mersey' at some stage, I heard it being snuck in at the end. 🤣

Half Man Half Biscuit. They were well funny. Blast from the past of my teens. Cheers for remembering.

Very interesting video.
And never underestimate schoolboys. You were one once too.

I could have sworn the Calderstones were in Birmingham. But then again they don’t have that accent do they? I’m from Birmingham, but not the same one. Yet another accent to deal with. Incidentally the weather here in Nashville is identical to the video so it really gave me the immersive experience. Pun not intended. Honest.

Thank you, fascinating as usual. I would be interested in your views on ley lines as you seemed to sit on the fence :-). Apropos of nothing really but I was, when young, fortunate enough to meet Gladys Aylward. She had an amazing charisma striking even to a child.

Thanks for the shout-out! Glad I could contribute, and sorry you got wet. Look on the bright side- if you went looking for some of the other stones like these, you could have been halfway up a mountain somewhere in the rain. Great video.

Hay/Hays derive from the indo European Basque "Haize" meaning stone.

Peter Foo -- I initially thought was in the cast for '3 Body Problem'

Thanks! What?! Ley lines do not exist?! Well, that changes everything 😂

Never get me wrong folks, I respect Mr WC21's crooning abilities to hold a note. I am certain he's capable of holding a note hostage until the coffee ransom is paid. Buy the gent a coffee 🤣.

Brilliant stuff. Very interesting and entertaining. I wonder what other prehistoric hidden gems lurk in the suburbs? Keep up the great work. 👏👏👍😀

Cor, were there cup-and-ring marks at the bottom there?

👍 It’s a miracle they survived when you think of lots of others that have been broken up for building use.

HMHB weren’t fans of Nerys were they.

Sorry I'm very late to the party here! Fascinating video, and quite a different style from your usual - I'm very impressed by your ever expanding range! Also well done for persevering despite the awful weather.

I love these little remnants of antiquity in forgotten corners of urban sprawl!

So much lovely red sandstone in the area: I went to Quarry Bank High School for Boys, BUT just where the quarry was I know not. Thanks for this amigo.

I was told at School the Markings were made by ancient men sharpening their arrows on the Stones.

In Cornwall in the late 80s I came across people worshipping a stone in a field and feeling its 'energy'. Looked on my map and it was a cattle-rub, erected by a farmer so his cows could scratch their butts. I walked on... Didn't have the heart to ruin their day. 😊

Some people believe the grooves in the stones may have been caused by years of ploughing over it, when it was laid flat in the field, although I’m not sure about that myself.

Four lads who shook the Wirral I wondered who they were

Thanks for the interesting video. There were also Standing stones and a possible stone circle on the Wirral.

The Stones weren't from Liverpool. That's the Beatles.

Bravo Sir.

Ley lines don’t exist 😂😂😂
Oh dear. I take what you meant to say was you don’t understand them and aren’t qualified to talk about them. Ley lines were not ‘discovered’ it was merely a name attributed to something that has been recognised around the globe for millennia.
Instead of dismissing things you don’t comprehend why don’t you just ask questions instead? I’m sure they’ll be plenty of people happy to educate you.

City still looks like it's in the 1600`s. The people there just troglodytes.

Many standing stones and sites across the country linked with the name of Robin Hood (Robin Hoods stride not far from us here in the Peak District). Some suggestion that this may have been tied up with the 'Old Gods' and the Green Man archetype representing nature and forests...

Very interesting video. Thank you 😊

I was going to do a video on this 👍🏻

Never seen this guy before but is he serious when he says “ley lines don’t exist” or is he having a go at sarcasm? 😅

I remember seeing these stones when they were in the heated palm house. So very sad to see the old glasses house empty, it was shameful what the local Lefty Labour politicians did to what was a wonderful botanic garden back in the 80's. Amazing that you discovered the actor Peter Foo who was in the film "Inn of the Sixth Happiness" filmed in North Wales.

Nah, mate! You totally lost my respect when you said there’s no such thing as ley lines 🤦‍♂️ 🤡

As someone who used to live near there thanks for the memories!

Very interesting history. Not sure John Lennon vandalised that stone though.

Golf courses and quarries always hide megalithic structures 😉

Some of the so called graffiti looks like Coelbren

Hi Darren - sorry it was peeing down when you came to visit us! Not much of a welcome ! Good one ,hope you got to see the Allerton oak, voted Britains favourite tree 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I've found human foot prints on the ridge on Bidston hill looks like a woman's or a young person and a infant around 2 maybe 3 yrs old could show you if its of interest to you love the show cheers

On the top ridge line near the windmill there is or was a soft patch of light mud I've found foot pints in it .The ridge is 245 million yrs old sets you thinking doesn't it happy to show you its only a ten minute walk cheers Ian ..

I am blown away how well this vid has performed ...Well done Mr WC21...You guys included are utterly amazing! I love Liverpool

These stories are as ancient as the ones penciled
In by Ms Laura Ben-Dover

Nice video lads😊😊😊

dint even concider liverpoll had them my dad was from liverp00l1915 and his family went back many decades befoe that and even hundreds on his dad side of family

Older than stone henge them Calder stones, the area has lots of influence from druid activity by the looks of it. Great vid.

There are many neolithic stones across the UK

You forgot the best football team EVER!

Very interesting but just one small thing. HMHB are not from Liverpool, they're from Birkenhead. As the Tranmere Rovers' supporters say, "Don't be mistaken, don't be mislead. We're not Scousers. we're from Birkenhead".

Just Amazing..!!

Did they find human remains at one point or were they destroyed by treasure hunters?

Djoser stones, they are from Egypt. Same colour and they've clearly been burnt.
