The rest of the video includes rarely seen films of Liverpool in the first quarter of the century. After a brief look at Liverpool today, we move back in time to 1929 when the working day begins with the workers teeming into the city by ferry boat, tram and overhead railway. Blackers store has a summer sale and the cashiers take their annual outing. In the 192Os there is the Liverpool Horse Parade. In 1933 we see summer in Sefton Park and scenes in winter of people skating on the frozen lake.
Work goes on in the docks of a busy port.
In 1933 the Philharmonic hall is destroyed by fire. Liverpool Airport opens and work progresses on the Mersey tunnel. Workmen dig holes in various parts of the city to provide electricity to homes and tramways. We see Liverpool people on their days off at Blundell Sands and New Brighton. In 1939 the new Mauretania, built in Birkenhead, departs on her maiden voyage.
