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

INSIDE • INSIDE 3 PAGES OF HOME SERVICES PAGES 23 TO 25 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 advertisers 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. • Vic and Joan; our typesetters and designers.
There were all forms of entertainment from hurdy-gurdy barrel organs and street bands to jugglers and Punch and Judy shows. People lived much of their lives on the streets and enjoyed freedoms almost inconceivable now. continued on page 2
• 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,

Children entered work almost as soon as they could walk. Almost anyone could open an ale house which were patronised by young and old alike. Cheap takeaway food, hot and cold, was plentiful. Very few rules and regulations restricted people and businesses.
Wages were low and hours long, poverty was rife and housing often deplorable. The very poorest families crowded into one room in appalling garrets – furniture was often a luxury. After a day working and living on the streets, many went home only at bed time and some slept in straw rather than a bed.

Although it was tiny, 95 High Street in Wavertree had a big claim to fame. Until the last family moved out in 1925 it was the smallest house in England. It is pictured on a tinted postcard in Edwardian times when it was still a house. It seems amazing that people once lived here with children raised in its minute confines. However, it is significant that it was next door to a coffee house (later a pub) and on a bustling street where the residents would have spent much of their waking hours. As can be seen, the house seems to have been built (about 1850) in an alleyway. Just six foot wide and 14 ft deep, a couple are said to have brought up their eight children within its
walls. The interior stairs were 16 inches wide so that large people could only go up and down by turning sideways. The little house remained empty for years before being incorporated into the Cock and Bottle pub in 1952. Its separate exterior facade is retained but has been altered over the years. Britain’s smallest house in its original
condition stands on the quayside at Conwy, North Wales. The six foot by 10 ft house is much older than the Wavertree residence – it was inhabited from the 16th century until 1900. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the new Museum of Liverpool, Pier Head, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission free.

THE PHYSIOTHERAPY CENTRE HAS MOVED HOUSE! The Physiot h e r a p y Centre has built up a fantastic reputation amongst locals since it started 5 years ago. It’s number is on speed dial for many clients and the clinic has
also developed strong links with l o c a l Consultants, GPs and various healthcare providers. Clinic Director Sarah Johnson who is also a physiotherapist and international Pilates presenter, was excited to tell us about the clinic move ‘for 5 years we have been based in LA Fitness Gym, this is where our journey began. We have however been looking for our own premises for what seems like an eternity! And now we finally have
them! A large part of the business is the provision of Pilates classes. We have always had to hire additional space in order to teach our clients, but at our Booker Avenue location (minutes down the road from its LA Fitness location), we will have 2 pilates studios!!! At our new premises so much more is possible! The physiotherapy centre is having an open night on Thursday 19th July 6pm-8pm, drop in and see how our services can help you

Liverpool and its near neighbours are so full of talent and originality that they are now legendary all over the world. If you live on Merseyside you probably know somebody famous, are related to somebody famous or went to school with somebody famous. If not, then it’s more than likely that you are famous yourself! 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

Volunteer Reading Help is a charity that supports primary school children, our vision is a nation of confident children literate for life. 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 children on a 1-1 basis. We ask for a minimum commitment of one year however our longest serving reading helper has been with us for 26 years! You don’t need any special experience because we provide training and ongoing support. It’s a really uplifting thing to do and the children love it, no matter 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
SCARLET AND GREEN by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society The middle-aged American and the elegantly-dressed lady climbed into the carriage after visiting the workhouse and set off on their journey. Soon the town was left behind and they were surrounded by fields and woodland. Eventually a big house loomed into sight. The carriage slowed and the uniformed coachman reined the horses into a sweeping drive. After a look
around the grounds, the travellers went inside to get warm before a roaring fire. It was 28 February 1856 and the gentleman was enjoying his prolonged stay in Liverpool. He was Nathaniel Hawthorne, the bestselling author such books as The Scarlet Letter, The House of Seven Gables and Tanglewood Tales. The talented writer turned his skills to promoting the political career of his
friend Franklin Pierce who was elected US President. Hawthorne was rewarded by being made United States consul in Liverpool – a town hugely important to the Americans because of the cotton trade. He was in Liverpool between 1853 and 1857, when Pierce left office. During this period Hawthorne wrote a lot about the town and it makes fascinating reading today. He goes into great detail about his visit to West Derby Union Workhouse, later Mill Road Hospital, Everton, sympathetically describing the residents. He was accompanied by wealthy Mrs Anna Heywood of Norris Green mansion.
To advertise see page TWO
Hawthorne adds: “After leaving the workhouse (we had come in Mr Heywood’s handsome barouche) we drove to Norris Green and Mrs H showed me round the grounds, which are very good and nicely kept. “Oh, these English homes, what delightful places they are! I wonder how many people live and die in the workhouse, having no other home, because other people have a great deal more home than enough! “However, Mrs Heywood is a good and kindhearted lady and we had a pleasant dinner.” Hawthorne and his male companion burnt off some calories by briskly walking back to
Liverpool, arriving just before midnight. Mrs Heywood’s husband was wealthy banker John Pemberton Heywood (1803 – 1877). The building that housed Heywood’s Bank can still be seen in Liverpool’s Brunswick Street. The Heywoods were generous, paying for much of St Mary’s Church, West Derby, for example. Norris Green mansion was demolished in 1931 but the ruins of the stables (pictured) remain a feature in the park. • Join the West Derby Society at the ancient Courthouse in the Village open 2 pm to 4 pm every Sunday until October, admission free.

LUCKY HORSESHOES
Horseshoes have been considered a symbol of good luck since the 4th century. In the past most people in Britain had a horseshoe hanging in their homes, especially above a door, as this was thought to keep the Devil away. In Britain horseshoes must be hung with the prongs facing upwards ‘or the luck will run out’. In many other countries it is the exact opposite, the horseshoe hangs with the prongs down so that the luck will pour out on to you. Horseshoes are made of steel, iron, or aluminium and there are many different kinds to suit the need or work of the horse. The person who constructs the shoes is the farrier and s/he specialises in making and fitting the shoes, whereas a blacksmith, by trade, crafts anything made out of metal. It is traditional to give a bride a horseshoe on her wedding day, and how much better to give a ‘real’ one, rather than a plastic or cardboard imitation. Maureen Bevan has specialised for many years in the supply of decorative horseshoes and told The LINK: “I have been working with horseshoes for many years. I collect them from a farrier then clean and paint them. They are then personalised and decorated to your own specification. Horseshoes are always recognised as good luck symbols and make unusual and personal presents. My horseshoes have proven popular for new homes, special birthdays, anniversaries, exam congratulations, and of course for weddings. They are boxed and delivered (within a reasonable distance) for just £7.50. Normal postage is approximately £2 extra”. INTERESTED? PHONE MAUREEN ON 0151 424 6087

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. The game was played at Nuneaton Town FC and, cheered on by a good following who made the journey by coach, the team won 1-0. Alder dominated the first half and made a number of chances they were unable to convert. The crucial moment came in the 22nd minute when joint player-manager Tommy Murphy was fouled by the Kirby right midfielder. From the resultant free kick, Tommy played a great ball which John Garrity cleverly headed on
for Tommy Doherty to convert at the far post. Shortly after, Tommy struck the post as the team sought that all important second goal. The second half was a more even affair, with Barnsey and Kevin Walsh providing a great shield in central defence. John Boyd, Tosh, Polo and Joey Hunter worked hard in midfield and the game seemed to be reaching a jubilant conclusion. 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 player-manager John Turner, Gordon Lee for admin on the day, sponsor Peter Kay of Liver Plant Hire and all the supporters who made the trip.
