IT’S OUR 6th BIRTHDAY!!
As the old saying goes: “time flies”! However, it does seem incredible to think that our first edition was published six years ago this month. What started off as a “bright idea” when we were working together at the Liverpool Echo came to fruition in July 2006 and we started off by distributing 8000 copies of the West Derby Link throughout West Derby & Croxteth Park. We’ve since gone from strength to strength and following the launch of the South Liverpool Link in August 2007, The Liverpool LINK now has a total monthly distribution of 35,000. If someone had told us that six years ago we’d have said it was way beyond our wildest dreams and expectations! As it is, we have firmly established ourselves as a favourite independent local publication. We remain a totally independent business and are the first to recognise that the success of The Link is entirely down to you - our readers and our advertisers. So we say a very big thank you to you all for your constant support and loyalty over the last six years and for the trust and confidence you have placed in us. We also thank you, our readers, for the way in which you have supported our advertisers. The old adage that if you stand still in business then you end up going backwards is
especially true these days and as many of you are aware, we have made some exciting changes to the LINK. In the last 12 months we have become tabloid-size and have also increased our overall distribution in West Derby and South Liverpool by 6,000 (to 35,000 in total). We are absolutely delighted by the great response we have had and how you have all accepted the new look LINK so positively - it was a huge decision for us so it’s really great to get such wonderful comments. So in thanking all our readers and advertis-
ers we’d again like to pass on our sincere thanks to: • All our regular contributors: Stephen Guy (whose wonderful local history articles continue to inform and entertain - we don’t know how he keeps coming up with such great articles!), Jim Stanway (South Liverpool FC), Peter Harrison (Alder F.C.), the lads from Stoneycroft FC and of course Peter (Moira’s husband) who does all our competitions/quizzes and so on and who writes and checks many of our articles for us.
Moira Hesketh
• Vic and Joan; our typesetters and designers. • Tony and his team; our distributors • Joe and Irene; for your continued assistance and moral support and for coming up with the great name THE LINK. Here’s to the next six years!! Best wishes and many thanks to you all,
Moira & Dawn
KING OF THE PATHS by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
The wealthy, influential Liverpool citizens met at a public
hall to discuss a subject they thought very strongly about. They included two prominent residents of West Derby who were well-known figures in the business community. Oil merchant and Liberal politician Henry Meade-King lived at Broomfield, Sandfield Park, while German financier Gustavus Schwabe had recently built Broughton Hall. The gentlemen gathered to discuss
not some pressing commercial crisis or anything to do with their everyday working lives. They wanted to prevent the destruction of footpaths giving access to Liverpool’s green spaces. As the Liverpool Mercury reported on 17 October 1863, the meeting unanimously set up the Liverpool Footpath Association to preserve byways. continued on page three

L a w r e n c e Heyworth – a member of an old Liverpool family – was in the chair and declared: “It is not right that people should be deprived of the pleasure of hearing the birds sing and seeing the beautiful green trees and hedges.” Proposing the new Association, Meade-King said: “Many public paths have been closed and others are in the process of being closed.” He took a swipe at wealthy residents who deliberately tried to make the paths impassable: “One gross way of closing them to the public is making them uncomfortable by converting them into receptacles for filth. “A second mode is by absorbing the public paths into their carriage drives. This results in people being confined to the monotonous limits of a dusty drive. “Paths have been handed down to us in trust for ourselves and our successors. It is the duty of all to assist in preserving that trust so that the benefits we enjoy can be handed down to our children.”
3 It is perhaps fitting that although M e a d e - K i n g ’s house is long gone, the footpath opposite Broomfield leading to Queens Drive has recently been refurbished (pictured). The West Derby Society, the Peak and Northern Footpath Society, R a m b l e r s ’ Association and many local resi-
dents recently successfully opposed the permanent closure of the historic path linking Leyfield Road and Princess Drive, passing between the rugby and golf clubs. However, there are currently serious issues of antisocial behaviour and crime along the section behind the new barracks site
housing development. A proposal to gate the path, restricting access, goes to public consultation in August. • Join the West Derby Society at the West Derby Courthouse (built 1586) in the Village - open 2 pm to 4 pm every Sunday, April to October.

Christine Dawe was so fascinated by all the celebrities of our region that in 2008 she commemorated our prominent citizens in her book ‘Liverpool’s Own’. However, she soon found that the list was endless and just one book wasn’t enough. So now she has followed up with ‘Merseyside’s Own’, still including

prominent Liverpudlians but now joined by folks and forefathers from Southport, St. Helens, Runcorn and parts of Wirral. The books feature not only stars of music and sport but people of note culturally, medically and politically - and both books have a rich smattering of humourists and eccentrics. Following the popularity of our very own Ken Dodd, Bessie Braddock, Steve Gerrard and, more historically, William Gladstone, William Roscoe and Kitty Wilkinson, not forgetting the fabulous Red Rum, Christine now entertains us with ‘the stories behind the stories’ of our region’s greatest beauties such as Emma Hamilton, mistress of Lord Nelson, Kim Cattrall, star of ‘Sex & The City’ and Amy Jackson, the 19 year-old Prescot girl who is already a glamorous Bollywood star. Brains as well as beauty are represented by Judge Rose Heilbron, Dr Ann Bieznek and Booker Prize winning author Beryl Bainbridge. The world of nature is illustrated by the red squirrels of Formby and the origins of Knowsley Safari Park, while animals in sport feature with Mirabel Topham at Aintree Racecourse. Showbiz characters Doctor Who, Hilda Ogden and Harry Potter all have their Merseyside connections, while the great men (and villains) of shipping also have their mentions. Christine is keen to point out, however, that these two books are not just a list of achievements: “CV’s can be very boring without a

" "! " " ! " !" " " ! !
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to develop to their full potential and literacy is essential to achieving this in both education and in life. We match people with time to give with children that will really benefit from that time. Currently across Merseyside we have 155 reading helpers together providing support to over 450 children each week. If you love reading and would like to help children to develop their confidence and literacy skills we are now looking for volunteers in Liverpool. You would go into a primary school for two afternoons a week during term time, during this time you would read and play games with three chil-
tribute nights ÂŁ28
how you feel before you go in to school you come out feeling great! If you would like to help or would like further information about Volunteer Reading Help please call Amy Lewis on 0151 722 4743 or 07850 514 941 or visit our website www.vrh.org.uk

In a great end to the season, the Alder FC Vet’s Sunday team clinched the prestigious National Umbro Over 45’s Shield. Playing on one of the hottest days of the year, they beat a team of pedigree, Kirby Muxloe from Leicester, who were beaten in last year’s final by Liverpool team Nicosia.

However, the crucial moment came with three minutes to go, when from a corner a Kirby forward powered a header towards the top corner, only for our keeper Morsey to make a great reflex save. The whistle
went and victory was ours. Special thanks to joint playermanager John Turner, Gordon Lee
