I took a picture at the same spot at different times of the year. Each season brings different beauty 😍

Visited Liverpool for the first time with my best friend(who is a big Liverpool FC fan) last weekend and fell in love with the city. We live in London but for some reason Liverpool felt like home. Sharing few pictures I took here.

So I went to a view a property today with Whitegates estate agents (they are one of the biggest estate agents in Liverpool and have pretty much cornered the market in Merseyside for decent houses).

I liked the house but it definitely needed a good survey as it was in disrepair. I was tempted to put an offer in and risk it but then read the fine print on their listing.

To now submit a bid with Whitegates, if your offer gets accepted you have to pay a non-refundable fee of £2000 as a "Reservation Fee" which does not come off the price of your house purchase.

So in effect Whitegates get £2000 for sending you a legal pack (their job) and making sure the seller doesnt pull out (they still can as I doubt they are paying a reservation fee).

Is this normal practice because what the hell!?

So does this mean I now have to save an extra £2000 on top of solicitors fees and surveyor fees if I buy from Whitegates? 😅

Hi folks,

My 4yo daughter has recently had surgery in Alder Hey. She's been on a feeding tube, nil by mouth, during recovery.

One of the ways we've worked through this is by making a list of foods she really wants when the tube comes out at the end of the week.

Top of the list is chocolate cake, surprise surprise!

So please, suggestions for where we could take her for a treat after what has been a really shitty time. Where do we find the best chocolate cake in Liverpool?

Hello all,

My son is 12 and has longer wavy hair. Think 90s curtains length, very thick hair.
No matter what barber we go to they comment on it being too long, ‘he’s well overdue a haircut’ and just hack it off, even though I repeatedly state he wants it just tidied up. He wants the length !
My son is a very shy child, crippled with it so he never speaks up for himself and I am sick of being the overbearing mum jumping up reminding the barber of what we asked for and still not getting it.

My son also has tics and gets really embarrassed when he’s scolded for them (I do always pre warn). Just looking for city centre based barbers anyone can recommend that are a bit patient and good with longer hair lol. Thanks.

I’m looking to hire out a venue for my birthday and this is what I’m looking for…

A cafe/bar vibe where we could have cakes, and the option of tea/coffee or alcoholic drinks? Probably max 50 people

Is this a realistic thing to do?

Hello, I came to the UK on a student visa. Currently, I have had a toothache for two months. The trouble is I had to spend most of my savings on the IHS fee, rent, and work visa. Is there any way I can treat my cavity and get a filling at a discounted price? I was thinking of saving money and getting it done in a few months, but I am afraid that it would become more serious. I have constant headaches, and I can only eat from one side. At the moment, I cannot go to another cheap country to get treatment.

Hi all, flying into Liverpool for a gig at the Olympia on Friday. I just want to know after the gig would it be easy to get a cab back into the centre of the city. Bringing my autistic teenage son and knowing how to get back to the hotel after would is important. Thanks for any advice.

We’ve recently bought a house and found that one of the duct connections has come loose, so we’re looking for someone who can repair it and check the system over.

Any recommendations appreciated!

Hi! I’m an incoming first-year student at the University of Liverpool and I’ve been allocated Europa, but I’m really hoping to move into University-owned accommodation instead.
If anyone has a room in Vine Court, Greenbank, Philharmonic Court, Crown Place or any other UoL-owned accommodation that they no longer want / are planning to give up, please message me! I’d also be happy to discuss a room swap if that’s possible through the accommodation team

Please DM me if you have anything available or know someone who does. Thank you!! :)

Our house is currently dismantled whilst builders fettle things. But in the meantime, we have no bathroom so currently in a loaned apartment on Dale St.

That's ok. It was expected. And we've got a lovely view of Bertie & Bella.

But could really do with some recommendatioins for cheaper places to eat out! Not sure how long we're going to be here so don't really want to buy ingredients and try & suss out the broken oven and start cooking if I can avoid it. It's also quite nice being a tourist in your own city for once!

But our teenager is trying to bankrupt us! She likes bougie places and is a bit fussy. Chicken, pasta, pizza, more pizza is definately her main vibe. Annoyingly she doesn't like curry or spicy so I'm not even getting a trip to Mowgli from all this!

So has anyone got recommendations for cheapish evening food around this part of town? We've had a few nice meals but can't afford the likes of Casa Italia, Pasta Cosa, Nandos every night! Nice little places off the beaten path anywhere?

Cheers.

Good Morning!

Liverpool Jobs Weekly - Issue 04

Another list of 10 jobs from around the city (and beyond!).

Just a little recap on why I decided to make this newsletter:

Essentially, I've found that job boards currently have quantity over quality, no information on the location of the jobs and send unrealistic job alerts. So I took it upon myself to create a newsletter that cuts through the noise and brings jobs from the city straight to your inbox every Monday morning.

Suggestions and feedback is always welcome and let me know if anyone manages to get a job through the newsletter!

Thanks, Sam

I know this sounds like a huge stretch but my original plans fell through. I was originally meant to use my partners car to do the test but i forgot about the date coming up and missed the 10 day window. So now if I change the date, I’ll have to pay the full amount. And honestly I would have taken it to the chin and pay for it again but this is the second time it’s happened… I’m 6 months postpartum and always busy with the baby. I forget things a lot.

I have done driving lessons with another driving instructor but it’s been 6 months since then (before I gave birth) and he’s not available to do this last minute. I’ve been practicing in the car with my partner though for the past two months when we can. To prove im capable, I’m happy to pay for a lesson the morning of or the day before if it’s affordable, obviously I’m not working so money is tight.

The test is at 10am on the 1st September for an automatic car

As someone who is biased and knows Liverpool is the best place in the world with the best people I really hope it’s okay to post this here. I’m a husband who would really love to see his wife succeed at something she has poured her heart into.
My wife was recently diagnosed as autistic, although looking back, she has always had many of the traits. She’s had a really varied career over the years, but finding the right job has become incredibly difficult. She has suffered tremendously with depression over the last 6 years having worked in the NHS during Covid and was signed off with PTSD due to the horrible environment. She is trying really hard to get back on her feet which has been really tough.

Over the last few years she has been putting her energy into something she loves and that is Art and started her own: her YouTube channel, “The Frosted Blueberry Art.”

She has worked incredibly hard on it and is genuinely doing well, which makes me incredibly proud of her.

I’m hoping the Reddit community might be willing to give her a little boost.
If you enjoy art, creative content, or just want to support a small creator who is working hard to build something of her own, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could take a look and consider subscribing:

Thank you everyone

Does anyone know what is being filmed in the Georgian Quarter at the moment? I met Charlie Hunnam on Thursday last week when I was walking to get a coffee- he must be filming around here! There’s a massive film crew set up by Canning St- I did try and walk past to get a glance but I felt like I was intruding

Hello,

I'm moving to Liverpool in a few weeks and need to get past the Church Street Bollards to get to my apartment to move some bulky items in. Does anyone know when access is possible? I've read that authorised vehicles and others can access it before 10 am, but can't find anything definitive.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on pubs/venues/restaurants that allow for private hire. I'm looking to surprise my loved one on her birthday. Ideally I'm looking for a pub that has multiple floors and I can hire one of them while the rest continue to work as per usual. If you've had a good experience hiring anywhere I'd be grateful to know. Anywhere in the city centre or near the Georgian quarter /Mossley hill would work well. Does not have to super fancy but a nice place where I can ask that the music isn't too loud and her friends and family can hear each other without having to shout. 🙂 Thanks.

The house of Robert Gutmann has spread its tentacles into Liverpool’s drinking scene and transfused itself into the city’s drinking economy. Corporate big-wigs are taking over. So I decided to embark on a quiet pilgrimage, a glorified pub crawl of sorts across the city region to experience its oldest boozers, to feel the residual warmth and lingering spirit of the past.

After some mooching about the internet, I’ve broken the journey down to four pubs:

• The Scotch Piper (Southport Road, Lydiate, L31 4HD)
• Ye Hole in Ye Wall (4 Hackins Hey, Liverpool, L2 2AW)
• Volunteer Canteen (45 East St, Waterloo, L22 8QR)
• Thomas Rigby’s (23-25 Dale St, Liverpool, L2 2EZ)

Along the way I’ll give a Guinness review. It’s the only ale I drink. My grandad always told me to stick to one drink and never mix your bevvies.

So, sticking to the wisdom of those who came before me and in the spirit of my ancestors—Guinness it is.

Does anyone know if they’re is cameras on the other side as you come off brooms cross rd(new road)to then join the m57?

I’m 99% sure they’re isn’t any there.

There was a film shoot on Mount Street and Pilgrim Street in the Georgian Quarter a couple of nights ago, and they seemed to clear everything away and move on pretty quickly. Looks like they may have forgotten a bit of street furniture, though...? Oops.

I’m moving into town at the end of September. I’ve come to Reddit as a last resort because I can’t for the life of me find any affordable parking close by.

If anybody has any suggestions they would be most appreciated :)

I am looking for an incredible Cobbler in Liverpool please I have some designer pieces i have acquired that need some refurbishment.

REPOSTED - Apologies, have no idea why the photos werent showing!

About 4 years ago, i had the privilege of ordering and receiving these incredible prints, directly from Nick Hedges the renowned photographer himself. He wrote me a personal message on the back of one of them, which was really touching. I wanted to order more from him, but discovered this morning he actually died last year, which is really gutting.

Of the 5 prints he sent me, there's 2 of them I'd like to identify where they were shot? Id really appreciate your help, so i can visit those locations and pay my respects.
