Striking photos capture childhood in Liverpool more than 50 years ago

Striking photos show what life was like for many growing up in Liverpool over 50 years ago. Before the days of social media, smartphones and game consoles, most children were left to their own devises to play out in the street.

And perhaps before Health and Safety standards we've come to know today, kids thought little of the dangers when it came to playing out.

Every week, the ECHO shares old photos from across our region that date back generations - and more recently, we have taken a look back at schools across Liverpool more than 50 years ago, as well as how our city centre streets looked during this time period and life in many of our regions factories past and present.

And now, we've decided to take a look at old photos from well over a century ago that capture childhood for a lot of Scouse kids at the time. For many, they are a reminder of how life used to be in Liverpool - and for others, they are a fascinating window into our past.
