The Bold Street Glitch
On a rainy Liverpool afternoon in 1996, Sean stepped onto Bold Street — and into another year. The shopfronts had changed. The cars were decades out of date. The people around him were dressed for 1958. And Sean wasn’t alone in seeing it.
Welcome to The Bold Street Glitch — one of the most famous time slip stories in the world.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
A man steps into another decade on a familiar Liverpool street
Bold Street’s layers of history, from Georgian merchants to modern shoppers
Stories of vanished time, disappearing objects, and trams from another age
Theories of ley lines, thin places, and time pooling in strange locations
Why Bold Street?
Bold Street is no ordinary road. Its centuries of history linger like stacked coats: merchant wealth, Victorian elegance, Blitz scars, counterculture cafes, and modern storefronts all pressed together. But some say it’s more than history that haunts Bold Street.
In this episode of Time Slipped, we follow the strange story of Sean, an antiques dealer who stumbled from 1996 into 1958. We’ll trace Liverpool’s past, explore reports from off-duty police officers and everyday shoppers, and ask what makes Bold Street so “thin.”
Is it built on ley lines? A pool of time layered beneath cobblestones? Or is it simply a place where history refuses to stay still?
