Ste - If you thinkthe Falkner St properties arent worth it, dont look at any Estate agent adverts for tiddly ex council flats or tiny terrace houses without parking or gardens in grubby areas of London, youll have a coronary!!

Was a good programme, looking forward to the next episode. Its a nice part of town, with some great pubs and amazing churches if you like architecture.

I lived at Faulkner Place (where the new women's hospital is now)in the 70s/80s which was over the way from Faulkner st

There was film/tv crew there most of the time filming some period drama I moved just after the 81 riots

Just watched the last one if this, quite sad because I really enjoyed it soooo interesting. I will look out for more of this programme, I think there has been others but I've not seen them. Obviously being Liverpool made it good, close to home as it where...Houses telling their stories love it..

Thought last nights was the most interesting of the series . I enjoyed that more general history of the area was also included.

yes it was interesting but in times of housing hardship how come a woman and 2 children are rattling around in a massive urban mansion? And where did she get the dosh as before she came on screen the presenter said the house would suit a rich modern day merchant. Anyone know owt about her?

It's not judgement, it's a story halftold. if the programme is going into minute detail but the lives of everyone who has lived in that house it seems strange to leave a mystery at the end.
