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, we now have a total monthly distribution of 31,000. If someone had told us that five 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 and we have exciting plans to grow the business and expand further still. We remain a totally independent “two-woman business” and are the first to recognise that the continued on page 2

www.liverpoollink.co.uk 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 we have some exciting plans for the future (some of which we are keeping to ourselves for now!). However, we can tell you that we have a new website in the pipeline and it will soon be possible to both read The Link online 24/7 and, for those advertisers who wish to do so, to place an ad online 24/7. It goes without saying that we will of course still be distributing the paper to all our readers in exactly the same way. So in thanking all our readers and advertisers we’d also like to pass on our thanks to: • All our regular contributors: Stephen Guy (whose wonderful local history articles continue to inform and entertain), David Shelbourne, Peter Harrison (Alder F.C.), Jim Stanway (South Liverpool F.C.) and
Peter, who does all our competitions and so on. • Vic and Joan; our typesetters and designers. • Tony and his team; our distributors • Joe and Irene; for your continued assistance and moral support.
Here’s to the next five years!! Best wishes to you all, Moira & Dawn

Edward VII had come to the throne in 1901 and it was a period of great optimism which reflected his easygoing character. People wondered how they could commemorate the new king and his much-loved mother Victoria. Then somebody remembered the stocks. For centuries they had stood on the north wall of the West Derby

Courthouse. The world was changing fast with rapid technological progress being made in industry and transport. Trams came to the Village in 1882 - they were horse-drawn and travelled into Liverpool . As West Derby was the terminus, there needed to be a place where the driver and conductor could rest. It was decided to build a tram office next to the Courthouse so the stocks had to go. The cast-iron stocks had replaced the original wooden ones about 1860. By this time they were rarely, if ever, used but were regarded as nostalgic symbols of justice. The stocks languished in a local private garden for more than 20 years as an ornament. However, people wanted them back and decided to create a suitable site on a patch of waste ground in the Village. Here they remain to this day, recently restored, with a stone saying: “To commemorate the long and happy reign of Queen Victoria and the

www.liverpoollink.co.uk Coronation of Edward VII, this site of the ancient pound of the Dukes of Lancaster and other Lords of the Manor of West Derby was enclosed and planted and the village stocks set herein, Easter, 1904.” A pound was an area where stray animals were rounded up to await collection. Our picture shows West Derby Village before the stocks were installed – the site was a rubble-strewn eyesore. Behind is a builder’s yard stacked with chimney pots. In the distance is Forest Lawn, one of several mansions around the Village later demolished to make way for housing.
A wooden signpost points left saying Main Road to West Derby Cemetery , to the right it indicates Footpath to West Derby Cemetery. In those days Meadow Lane ended with a stile giving access to the path. A cast-iron drinking fountain is in the foreground. Next to the Yeoman’s House is the carriage manufactory of Hooper & Son which has a sign advertising its showroom at 6 Slater Street . • 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.

VISIT CHRISTAKIS NEWLY REFURBISHED RESTAURANT NEW MENUS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEB SITE www.christakisgreektaverna.com Liverpool Lord Mayor Frank Prendergast and the owner Christakis
We at The LINK were honoured to be amongst the guests in attendance when Christakis Greek Taverna held their official reopening night on 26 May following an extensive refurbishment. Civic dignitaries and local celebrities and business people were in attendance as Liverpool Lord Mayor Frank Prendergast performed the official opening ceremony and a wonderful evening was had by all. The new décor, refurbished but still in the Greek-style of course, looks absolutely fantastic and, as always, the food, the drink and the atmosphere were wonderful. Christakis is a family-run restaurant situated in York Street (off Duke St., Liverpool) and prides itself on its friendly service (owner Chris himself is always there to greet you personally) and its excellent Greek cuisine - delicious home-cooked food prepared by Greek Cypriot chefs. The food is priced at very competitive rates, starters from £2-£4 and main courses from £8-£12 with a good range of food for fish lovers and vegetarians. The early
evening menu is available from 5pm-7pm and offers really good value with 3 courses for only £9.95. The wine and drinks list is excellent with a selection of over 25 wines and a great choice of spirits, liqueurs, cocktails and coffees. Christakis has 3 floors and can cater for up to 250 people. It makes the ideal venue be it for large parties or a meal for two or more (also available for weddings, engagements and any other functions). Give it a try-you won’t be disappointed! Join Christakis’ Loyalty Club FREE and receive many great offers (including 20% off your food bill; Sunday to Thursday; not available in conjunction with early evening menu).

Health and Beauty Link ARE YOU EXERCISING TOO MUCH? Most people these days are worried about getting enough exercise but too much exercise may lead to overtraining which can make you susceptible to injury. If your workouts suddenly feel harder than usual, or you’re losing ground despite the fact that you’re working hard, you may be experiencing overtraining. The cause of overtraining is simple. You’re not resting enough and/or you’re doing the same exercise too much. The body needs time to recover. Also doing the same workout day after day can also lead to overtraining, boredom and possible injury.
Sufficient rest periods are the best way to cure overtraining. When strength training try not to work the same muscle group two days in a row. Allow at least one day of rest before working the same muscle group again. For cardio it will depend on your intensity and the activity you’re doing. To avoid overtraining avoid intense and difficult workouts every day of the week and include low-intensity workouts. For example, if you usually run and bike every day try to take a couple of days to go for a walk or do a light swim. These ‘recovery’ workouts will help you stay fresh and the cross-training will help you avoid injuries.

Life’s a beach
MAKE sure you are body confident on the beach this summer with some fabulously flattering beachwear. Unless you are Elle MacPherson, most women have got ‘natural curves’. But instead of letting your curves hold you back on the beach, embrace your god-given shape and invest in a bikini or swimsuit which flatters your womanly shape. It’s not worth spoiling your hard-earned holidays with body hang ups. Find a look that suits you, hold your head up high and most importantly of all, enjoy yourself! Here are a few top tips to finding the best beachwear for your shape: * Pear-shaped bodies should look for wrap tops and V-shaped necklines. By matching darker bikini bottoms with lighter tops, you can play your hips and bottom and accentuate your bust line * Apple-shaped bodies should look for vertical stripes and extra control fabrics. The vertical lines will elongate the torso and define the waist, achieving a slimming look. * Shorter people may want to look for a high cut leg which will lengthen the legs helping them to appear taller and thinner * Curvy people should look for a supportive material, skirt-bottomed bathing suit as this will give ample coverage and support.

LOTS TO DO AND SEE
LIVERPOOL has got more museums and art galleries than you can shake a stick at, so you certainly won’t be stuck for things to do over the summer holidays. And even better, if the British weather remains true to form, you don’t need to worry about whether it’s raining or not! The city has eight national museums including the World Museum, Walker Art Gallery, Mersyside Maritime Museum, International Slavery Museum, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Sudley House, Conservation Centre, and last but certainly not least, the eagerly anticipated Museum of Liverpool, due to open in just a few weeks. In addition, there are a number of other hidden cultural gems throughout the city, so why not immerse yourself in some real culture this summer? Tate Liverpool at the Albert Dock is a good place to start as there are always loads of family friendly events going on. To celebrate the keenly awaited Magritte exhibition (on until October 16),
the Tate is holding a ‘Month of Magritte’ throughout August, a month of child-friendly activities. With fantastic views over the Albert Dock, Tate Liverpool Cafe serves refreshments and hot and cold food throughout the day. And want to know the best bit? Kids eat free! When an adult orders a main course from the delicious seasonal menu, kids can choose a free main course from the children’s menu. For more information visit www.tate.org.uk or telephone 0151 702 7400 The eagerly anticipated opening of the fabulous new Museum of Liverpool will take place on July 19 and promises to tell the fascinating story of the city of Liverpool in an interesting and illuminating way. It is worth a visit just to see the splendour of the stunning building which showcases the bests of cutting edge design and technology. The museum has various galleries including Wondrous Place, which celebrates the city’s amazing roll call of writers, entertainers, poets, performers, musicians,

Visit www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk for more information. As a special treat why not let the kids stay up late for the spectacular lighting up of the Liver Building? As part of the city’s fantastic On the Waterfront weekend from July 22 - 24, the Liver Building will be lit up by a 3-D ‘Son et Lumiere’ spectacle using cutting edge images and sound to bring the building to life, as part of centenary celebrations of this most iconic building. Travel just a little way out of the city centre and check out delightful Sudley House, nestling in a leafy south Liverpool suburb. The house was built in the early
19th century for a rich corn merchant and is thought to have the only surviving Victorian merchant art collection in Britain still hanging in its original location. There’s plenty to keep the children entertained with interactive activities to enjoy, a dressing up box, drawing and colouring and even has its own very own Victorian dolls’ house, a winner with kids every time. Enjoy some lunch, morning coffee or afternoon tea at Sudley’s warm and welcoming cafe, and if the weather allows, you can enjoy your refreshements al fresco in the beautiful courtyard and have a wander around the idyllic grounds.

www.liverpoollink.co.uk DENTAL IMPLANTS Do you have missing or loose teeth? Are you concerned with the way your missing teeth are affecting your appearance? Dental implants are the state of the art technique to fill those gaps left by missing teeth or to steady loose or rocking dentures. The implant consists of a titanium post that acts as a tooth root and is surgically fitted into the jaw. Either a crown or a bridge is attached to the titanium post as the substitute tooth. Titanium is a safe substance that easily fuses with the gum tissue to support the crown or bridge replacement teeth. Our dentists at Daleys Dental practice will be able to explain the process to you in more detail and how it is our laboratory custom-makes the titanium posts, crowns or bridges to uniquely fit your mouth.
can seriously affect oral health and overall well-being. Missing teeth can affect the way teeth bite together which can cause grinding down of other teeth. Over time, the jaw can appear distorted which can affect the shape of your face and overall appearance. If you are concerned about this, one of our resident dentists can discuss your concerns with you and advise you on the condition of your teeth.
Do I need to replace missing teeth? A – Fractured, broken or missing teeth

Who needs a dental implant? A – Anyone who has lost part of or a whole tooth; fractured a tooth, or experiences loose teeth can see one of our dentists trained to identify when dental implants are needed. People involved in contact sports may experience oral trauma and need to have their teeth checked for damage. If you are concerned about losing a tooth or have missing teeth, we can take a look and advise you on the best options to have natural looking teeth.
How much do dental implants cost? The fee for tooth replacement with dental implants depends on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of dental implants required to support your replacement teeth. Some additional procedures may be required prior to the placement of your dental implants to ensure the long-term health of your dental implants. To obtain a specific fee estimate, it is necessary to have a dentist examine your mouth. After a thorough diagnostic examination, your dentist will recommend the treatment that is best for you. Our Dental Surgeons at Daleys Dental Practice use Nobel Biocare, the market leader in implant dentistry. Patient information can be found on the nobel website www.nobelbiocare.com.

KNOWSLEY SAFARI PARK Knowsley Safari Park on Merseyside which celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year, remains one of the North West’s most popular attractions. The park on the Earl of Derby’s estate gives visitors the chance to get ‘up close and personal’ with around 700 exotic animals from all over the globe. These include rhinos, camels, buffalo, bison, wildebeest, lions, tigers, monkeys, deer, antelope, wallabies and - of course Knowsley’s infamous baboons! The good news for drivers concerned about their vehicles is that they can choose to view these mischievous inhabitants of the monkey jungle from the safety of the car and coach-friendly route. Highlights of the Knowsley safari drive this year include three white rhino calves (weather permitting) - Troy, Rosie and Bugo and the park’s biggest-ever pride of lions. Other attractions at the park include the safari village with its miniature railway and a walkaround animal area where elephants, giraffes, meerkats and otters can be viewed at close quarters. A major feature in this area is the park’s revamped sealion facil-
ity, with a larger outdoor pool and underwater viewing facilities, which enable visitors to watch the sealions’ antics throughout the day, not just at show times. Meanwhile, Knowsley’s Bug House offers everything from snakes and lizards to spiders and cockroaches, creatures a world away from the goats, lambs, cattle and horses for the children to enjoy at Lake Farm. Knowsley is also home to Aerial Extreme - the North West’s largest adventure ropes course - and an amusement park with a wide selection of rides for the family. (Additional costs apply for the ropes course and rides). Safari Park General Manager, David Ross, commented: “Because of all our new animals and developments over the years there’s a huge amount to see and do at the park, which is why we’re one of the North West’s few genuine all-day attractions. “As a result, we offer excellent value for money which is why I am confident that we will continue to attract large numbers of visitors, old and new, during the course of our fortieth anniversary year.” Knowsley Safari Park first opened its gates to the public in
