After the Norman Conquest West Derby had a small population living mostly in the village. Everyone knew everybody else so troublemakers were often quickly identified and dealt with.

ing property and land including Liverpool. Some misdemeanours were dealt with by a fine or summary punishment such as a spell in the stocks. Crimes like murder and theft were dealt with at Lancaster - the punishment was death. In the years after the conquest, landed families including the Molyneuxes were responsible for maintaining order on their lands. They would appoint constables to enforce the law. This is why some police officers still refer to their beat or patch as their manor.
The Statute of Winchester (1285) was the main legislation regulating the policing of the country until the Metropolitan Police Act of 1829 set up the modern police force. Avariety of constables, watchmen and thief-takers aimed to uphold the law until the advent of London’s Bow Street Runners in 1749. The word Police first appeared in documents setting up the Commissioners of Police for Scotland in 1714. Police are nicknamed Bobbies after
Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel who introduced the 1829 Police Act. The role of the police was and is to keep the Queen’s Peace and uphold the law. Until the 1960s many police officers lived in police houses and were available around the clock, particularly in country areas. Two police houses were part of the old West Derby Police Station in Meadow Lane (pictured). Demolished and replaced by Eaton Road Police Station about 40 years ago, they were
built in Victorian times when West Derby was still largely rural. Traditional forms of punishment were consigned to history when the Victorians developed police and prison systems to enforce the law. West Derby’s stocks were last used around 1860 but are still technically legal.

Tiniest of Water Babies makes a splash in Liverpool With a smile and a gurgle, tiny Isaac Yeo was a tender seven days old when he took the plunge this month and became one of the youngest ever pupils to start Water Babies lessons at Thingwall School of Swimming in Liverpool. Isaacs’mum Joy, who works as a midwife at the Wigan Infirmary, decided to book Isaac into his first Water Babies class when he was just 3 days old after her friends had recommended the specialist baby swimming lessons. Joy said: “Our first Water Babies experience was great; our instructor Louise really put us at ease. She was just as confident with Isaac as she was with the other little ones who were a few months older. I was so impressed that babies are able to go underwater in their first session at such a young age! I take him every week now!”
“Usually babies start at around six weeks,” says Ali Ogden, who runs Water Babies classes across the Liverpool area. “Seven days old certainly is quite special and makes Isaac one of the youngest babies we have ever had at our lessons.” Isaac‘s Water Babies teacher, Louise Bailiff, explains: “There are many amazing benefits to teaching babies to swim from birth. Small babies are reliant on other people for every aspect of their lives, so being in water can be incredibly liberating for them. It’s great for mum too, because swimming with your baby means you’re able to focus purely on each other and enjoy the closeness that playing in water creates. “Babies just love being in water – which is clear from the excited smiles and gurgles around the pool. And swimming from birth is entirely natural. After all, they’ve just spent the last nine months in
the womb! In fact, some of our younger babies have a snooze during lessons which shows just how relaxed they are.” Water Babies offers a highly specialised, progressive programme and teaches thousands of babies across the UK every week. The emphasis in the half-hour lessons is primarily on the tiny students and their parent or carer bonding and having fun, and activities only ever develop at each baby’s individual pace. Yet the course does have a very serious safety point to it. Ali Ogden explains: “We believe that by introducing babies to water as early as possible, they’ll be less likely to experience fear – and therefore won’t panic – if they fall in. With progressive training, babies can be taught life saving skills very early on, such as turning onto their backs or, following a sudden submersion, swimming to the nearest solid object. It’s fantastic what vi-
tal skills children can learn, and it’s so important that they do.” Ali runs Water Babies classes in Liverpool, Merseyside, Crosby, Formby, Chester, Ledsham, Wirral, Ellesmere Port, Wigan, Leigh, Warrington, Runcorn, Newton Le Willows, Haydock, St Helens, Widnes, Ormskirk, Skelmersdale.

The door was long familiar to him and he wondered what lay behind this wood and iron portal at the base of the stone tower. Roger sometimes paused by the door’s shadowy, forbidding presence. Once he had gingerly given it a push – there was no handle – but it had not yielded. At difficult times he found himself looking at the door.
The past year had been challenging: a new job, a disastrous love affair and financial worries. Roger was very low-spirited that Sunday morning and took one of his customary walks in an attempt to refresh his soul. He strode out across the park, beset by yapping dogs and distracted people talking aimlessly on mobile phones. Soon he found himself staring at the door. He gasped in disbelief – a tiny gap revealed that it was open. Roger stepped
forward and pushed it firmly. The door creaked open to reveal a gloomy room lit only by a tiny window. The door closed behind him of its own accord. It took a few seconds for his eyes to get used to the gloom. He saw a man staring at him from a dark corner. The man sat bolt upright and wore an old-fashioned uniform and peaked cap marked Guide. More alarming was his pale, cadaverous face covered – like his uniform – with cobwebs.

“I’ll show you around, sir,” he said without introduction or pleasantries. Pointing to the spiral staircase going up the tower he said: “Up there is what may be”. Then, turning stiffly, he nodded to another doorway in a murky corner: “Down there is what will be.” Roger followed the Guide up the spiral staircase until they reached the top of the tower. Although it was late November, the scene spread below was bathed in summer sunshine. Lush green trees and colourful flower beds spread around. In the distance were familiar streets and landmarks but most were reduced to ivy-covered ruins. To the north of the city centre were gleaming, glass covered towers. Wide roads cut through the ruins to the shining buildings

TOM THUMB LAWN CARE - YOUR LAWNS BEST ALLY Spring is here at last, and it’s the time of yearwhen your lawn should be growing at its quickest rate. Unfortunately, with all the otherpests in your lawn, the grass plants will be starting with a big disadvantage. WEEDS AND MOSS Weeds and moss are two of a lawn’s biggest enemy. Imagine your lawn is one big battlefield. Everyone wants
a little bit of land to survive on. Unfortunately, over the winter, moss has had the real advantage. It’s crowded in around the grass plants, shadowing out sunlight and generally being a big bully. It knows the grass plant is weak at that time of year, so it’s taken its chance and gained superiority. But then the weather warms up and weeds want their chance to grab some land. The poor grass plant just hasn’t got a chance on its own! That’s where
Tom Thumb Lawn Care can step in. Our seasonal treatment plan gives your lawn the ‘upper hand’ by killing off your lawn’s enemies and giving it the energy it needs to flourish. Alongside our seasonal treatments, we also offer advice on how to get the most out of your treatments such as lawn mowing tips and efficient watering techniques.
GRUBS AND FUNGAL DISEASES Weeds and Moss aren’t the
only pests that want their share of your lawn’s area. Grubs such as Chafer Grubs and Leatherjackets love feeding on the roots of grass plants, and fungal diseases feel right at home whether it be in the soil or on the surface. These problems are sometimes hard to spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Brown patches may start to develop or your lawn might simply start to die back in some areas.
Don’t let your lawn lose the battle this year. Call Tom Thumb Lawn Care today and find out how we can become your lawn’s best ally. Call 0845 468 0126 or visit www.tomthumblawncare.co.uk for more information.

SOUTH LIVERPOOL FC: PROMOTION – ALMOST THERE! by Jim Stanway Despite a shock home defeat to AFC Bebington Athletic, two furthercomfortable wins and defeats for their n e a re s t r i v a l s , M a l l a b y a n d Capenhurst Villa, has meant that South are within striking distance of successive promotions in the West Cheshire League. A 2-1 defeat to AFC Bebington was the result of two penalties conceded but no shots on target by the lowly opponents! A hat-trick for centre forward Cameron Dalton in the 4-1 away win at Mossley Hill and two more for Dalton in a 4-2 success at Maghull has brought promotion within reach. With only six games to play, the team need only five points to make certain of elevation to the first division. However, the title race is likely to go to the wire as nearest rivals Mallaby have games in hand. Leading goal scorer Alex Woodcock has scored in each of the last seven games, showing admirable consistency with 31 goals so far this season. The reserves have only an outside chance of promotion after a crucial 3-1 defeat to rivals, Marshalls Reserves, and three other draws; 1-1 against title favourites Gateacre; 1-1 against mid-table Chester Nomads Reserves and 3-3 against lowly AFC Bebington Athletic Reserves. However, the team have reached the league cup final against league leaders Redgate Rovers at Cammell Laird on Wednesday 1st May at 7pm. The youth team are on the verge of the league title after a crucial 0-0 draw with their nearest rivals Bootle which eliminated their opponents from the title race. The other contenders, Gateacre, have four games to play and need to win all four, two of which are against South. By contrast, South need only one point from their final two games – both against Gateacre! They also play Gateacre in the league cup semi-final!!

458 QUEENS DRIVE, STONEYCROFT, LIVERPOOL L13 0AS
by Peter Harrison The first team recorded their 12th straight victory, with a 2-1 away victory in a physical encounteragainst Alumini with top marksman Antony Wong bagging a brace. Their rejuvenated form has propelled them into the semi finals of theirdivisional cup and third in the league. Prior to
the Alumini victory they beat Lucas Sports the previous week 6-1, with Joe Reynolds amongst the goals and Tom Mangan coming off the bench to net twice. The third team completed their fixtures with a 3-1 defeat to Jaymc with Ste Keegan netting. Willy and Jimmy’s team have finished in a respectable mid table position in
their first season with a team showing an emphasis on youth (despite the inclusion of Hilly). The veterans registered one of their best performances against league leaders Jawbone. Despite going down early to a 2-0 deficit, they came back to draw 2-2 in a great team effort with Neil James scoring both goals. They then went on strongly to beat De La Salle 7-1
with Neil James grabbing a hat trick, and Kevin Addo , Mick Russell and Mark Carney chipping in with goals. A special mention must also go to the ladies football team who play on a Sunday afternoon. They are now through to the semi final of their cup and best wishes go to them in winning some silver ware.

Another two defeats mounts pressure on Stoneycroft to get off the bottom of the table. The home defeat by REMYCA by the odd goal was a real sickener, with the game being settled by a controversial penalty for handball. This was a scrappy game that on balance

the ‘Croft should have won but “should haves” are not good enough for them right now. The game against APH at Cheshire Lines was disappointing to say the least. After an even start in which the ‘Croft looked comfortable at the back and posed a threat going forward and when Eddie Baker turned sweetly in the box and forced a superb double save from the A i g b u r t h k e e p e r, hopes were raised that a result was in their grasp. Smart play followed from the visitors before a familiar story unfolded when in the 40th minute an aimless ball evaded both defenders and attackers alike to bounce high and float into the net to put the home side in front and for the Stoneycroft heads to drop. Despite sterling performances from Liam Currie and debutant Mike Gough at the centre of defence, Croft’s inability to keep possession proved costly and APH
coasted to victory adding four to their first half score. Adam Baker, coming on as substitute, got one back for Stoneycroft with a well hit shot but
it was to prove no more than a consolation. It means the Stoneycroft players have to pick themselves up and strive to salvage something
from what is fast becoming an easily forgettable season and the next three fixtures will prove vital if they are to rescue any crumbs of comfort.
