Liverpool is rightly proud of its history as an industrial city and for producing great artistes such as, Cilla Black, Ken Dodd, The Beatles, The Liver Birds and Half Man Half Biscuit, but we wanted to find out if there was anything left of its prehistoric past.

We're looking at the Calder Stones here - 6 Neolithic remnants of a chambered burial tomb - that have an incredible survival story over the last 250 years. And also Robin Hood's Stone - a possible seventh survivor, now located a short way away on the junction of Booker Avenue and Archerfield Road.

With great contributions for Roy - at Calderstones Park - and Peter Foo at Greenwood Road. At the age of 14, Peter appeared in the 1958 film, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness with Ingrid Bergman.

This video is based on an original idea by ‪@chrisball3778‬
