Bold Street Mysteries: Vintage Cars and Vanishing Shops
Step into Bold Street’s mysterious past, vintage cars, old shops, and fleeting time slips
Bold Street in Liverpool is famous for its cafés, vintage shops and vibrant atmosphere, but it also hides one of the city's strangest legends. For decades, people have claimed to experience mysterious “time slips” here, fleeting moments where the street seems to rewind to another era. The most famous case dates back to 1996, when an off-duty police officer said he stepped straight into the 1950s, surrounded by old shopfronts and period-clad shoppers. In this episode of Hidden Merseyside, historian and Blue Badge guide Peter Lang joins Nikki Robertson to explore the truth behind the legend, the real history of Bold Street, and why Liverpool’s past never feels too far away.
