Sandstone quarries once dotted the landscape, supplying material for walls and housing as Liverpool grew with the increasing prosperity of the port. In September 1903 J Courtney wrote a postcard to Miss Florence Ashley at 17 Clarence Street, Mount Pleasant, saying: “I am sorry I could not see you tonight as

INSIDE • INSIFDE 3 PAGES OF HOME SERVICES PAGES 23 TO 25 I am busy with the quarterly bills - hoping to see you on Sunday at 8.30.” The colourful card is captioned Old Quarry, Wavertree, and probably shows the former workings adjacent to the windmill off Woolton Road. By this time the area was starting to be developed and the quarry was later filled in. There was once so much sandstone in the Liverpool area that it was considered cheap building material. Many people worked in the quarries which became very big business. Numerous fine examples of distinctive

sandstone buildings can be seen ranging from cottages and former council houses to mansions such as Gateacre Grange and Sudley House. Woolton Quarry supplied the stone for Liverpool’s monumental A n g l i c a n Cathedral, completed in 1978.The cathedral towers above St James’s Cemetery which was originally a quarry in Georgian times. In law, quarries belong to the owners of the land on which they stand – in theory the owner is entitled to the stone and soil down to the centre of the earth. Quarries have been worked since ancient times: sandstone and limestone were hewn from the banks of the River Nile to build the temples and monuments of ancient Egypt.

Fine marble such as Carrara, which has been quarried in Italy for centuries, is highlyprized because it is the very best for statues and monuments. In Victorian times sandstone was also quarried around Edinburgh, Glasgow and Newcastle. Two types of rock are quarried – stratified sedimentary and unstratified igneous types. Sandstone, like limestone, is stratified while granite is igneous. Ancient quarries were dug by hand but the introduction of gunpowder and later dynamite transformed what were small local operations into

huge national and international industries. Stone is now very expensive and there are modern examples of granite being used in the new developments around Liverpool’s waterfront. A huge new monastery being built on the site of Maryton Grange, Allerton Road, has impressive sandstone-dressed walls, complementing adjacent older walls and buildings. • 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.

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Although we can show our appreciation of dear old dad any day of the year, it’s nice to know that there’s a special day devoted to dads everywhere. In many countries around the world, including Britain, America, Canada and much of Asia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June, which this year falls on Sunday 17th June. Like many other formal celebration days, “Father’s Day”, as we now know it, was started in the United States, when a lady named Sonora Smart Dodd was so touched by a Mother’s Day sermon she heard in 1909 that she decided to dedicate a special day to her own dad, William. The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19th 1910,

William’s birthday, and such a good idea was bound to catch on as people around the world wished to honour the devotion and love of their own fathers. So make 17th June really special for you and your dad! Whether it’s a card, present, or just some time spent together, have a lovely day. If you find yourself stuck for gift ideas, why not have a look here in The LINK. You may want to treat Dad to a lovely meal at one of the restaurants advertised or he may enjoy a great day out on a wonderful steam train journey through the countryside. Have a great Father’s Day and best wishes to dads everywhere from all of us at The LINK.

Morecrofts raise hundreds for Marie Curie and Macmillan After months of planning and hard work, Morecrofts last week held their annual Ladies Evening at Woolton Golf Club to raise much needed funds for our charity of the year, Macmillan Cancer Support and Marie Curie, who we work closely with through our Woolton office. It was an exclusive evening of Glamour and Beauty with fantastic demonstrations by Lancôme, Simon Alexander, mywardrobe.com and Benna Jewellery. We were also joined by The Jersey Treatment Rooms,

Tracey Bell Clinic and Gentle Hands who massaged, smoothed, whitened, and bronzed our guests throughout the evening whilst Plum Sugar tempted us with an array of delicious sweets and candies! We were fortunate enough to have some incredible raffle prizes donated by Morecrofts’ wonderful friends whom we have named and proclaimed at the bottom of this article to thank them for their generosity and support. The Golf Club were the perfect hosts and as a venue we couldn’t have asked for more from them, great food, great service and great wine.

After such a luxurious evening, each guest left with a goody bag bursting with samples and vouchers and gifts, oh my! Since the event we’ve been flooded with compliments and requests from guests to book their places for the next event which is testament to what a brilliant evening it was. In total we raised £393.92 which will go directly to front line services for cancer patients in Merseyside through Macmillan and Marie Curie who were both delighted by the funds raised and the generosity shown.

My job as a fundraiser is made much easier when I have corporate partners like Morecrofts who are so passionate about our charity and the work we do.” Collette Byrne, C o m m u n i t y Fundraiser at Marie Curie said, “We are delighted that Morecrofts chose to support us with this event and thoroughly enjoyed the evening.

Dovedale Baptist Church Parent and Toddler Group sadly said goodbye and thank you to Val Clarke at their Easter party last month. Val served the Toddler Group as leader for 17 years and has also served the local community at the Youth Club and family work in the area. She has been part of the lives of so many families, watching lots of children grow up in the community. Many families past and present came together to thank Val and presented her with mother and child ornaments and flowers for her new garden. Val has moved to Huddersfield with her husband Wayne Clarke who was the minister of Dovedale Baptist Church and also BBC Radio M e r s e y s i d e Religious Affairs Producer. Dovedale Baptist Church Parent and Toddler Group continues to run under its new leadership team and look forward to welcoming any new parents/carers/grandparents to come and meet us on a Thursday afternoon.

THE CAT AND THE FOX!

Customised heated mobile grooming parlour

LINK reader Christine, who lives in Woolton, contacted us recently with a great story involving her friend Judith Apter’s cat Ollie, which is especially topical following the recent Channel Four series about urban foxes. Judith, who also lives in Woolton. takes up the story: “My neighbour Keith Dolphin spotted Ollie in his garden at about 7.45am. Ollie had cornered a fox under Keith’s garden table. The fox was terrified and eventually bolted with Ollie in hot pursuit. He then chased the fox

Grand National Style over several garden fences before the poor thing got away. Keith was so quick to manage to photograph it! We were amazed that Ollie was so brave (he can be pretty fearless but he’s a big dope at home!) and I’m not sure what he would have done if he had caught up with it! I have since told Ollie that fox-hunting is banned in this country but I’m not sure he was listening!”. Thanks for contacting us, Christine, and thanks for the great story and photo, Judith. We at the LINK really loved this story and please keep ‘em coming, readers!

are for old the

Junior is a lovely young boy who loves to run and play, but also likes to have lots of cuddles and affection. He can walk with the odd doggy friend but we are looking for him to be the only pet in the home and new owners will have to keep him on a lead when there are new dogs around. Junior needs a home who can give him lots of exercise and training as he is such a lively young boy. He has already had a few homes and we want his next one to be forever. Junior is good with children but can be a bit too lively for very young ones, so we are looking for him to live with children over the age of 15 years. If you would like to offer a home to Junior, please call Dogs Trust Merseyside directly on 0151 480 0660 or visit www.dogstrust.org.uk.

Experience the drive of your life for Guide Dogs! Guide Dogs Liverpool Blind Drive

Ever wondered what it’s like to drive whilst wearing a blindfold? Well now’s your chance to find out at Guide Dogs’ Blind Drive fundraising challenge, taking place at the Guide Dogs Liverpool Open Day on 27th May. The

charity

To advertise see page TWO looking for local participants to take part in the challenge, which involves being blindfolded whilst driving a fantastic Formula One simulator car. Guide dog owners and other visually-impaired people are also invited to have a go. The public are invited to attend the Open Day between 12noon and 3pm, and the attrac-

tions will include stalls, a bouncy castle, demonstrations and free micro-chipping for pet dogs! The simulator is a full size, genuine F1 car, but instead of an engine the car is equipped with a computer simulator allowing participants to sit in the car and drive on any F1 circuit in the world. The experience is very realistic (if there’s a bump in the track you will feel it in this car!) and is the nearest most individuals will get to actually driving an F1 car. It is not a computer game. Users will be expected to control the car on screen using steering, brakes and accelerator as they would in an actual car, but wearing a blind fold! Penny Williams, Guide Dogs Engagement Officer explains: “For many blind people, this will be the first and

perhaps only time they will ever drive a Formula One car. It’s a unique opportunity for them to savour the thrill and sensation of driving. Whilst for blindfolded participants, it’s a chance to experience how difficult everyday tasks can be without the benefit of sight. We’d love to see lots of people taking part and raising money for Guide Dogs, so that blind and partially-sighted people can continue to experience the life-changing benefits that having a guide dog can bring.” Participants must pre-book to take part in the sponsored drive. For further information, please contact Guide Dogs’ Liverpool Mobility Team on 0118 983 8749. For full details of the charity’s work, log-on to www.guidedogs.org. uk

GARSTON VILLAGE NOW HAS ADDED SPICE!

The Spice Brasserie is the latest Liverpool restaurant to open its doors to the public

and has already proved to be a massive hit. The restaurant is situat-

ed in Garston Village, with free public car parking surrounding the building. It’s a really attractive

venue, with lots of character, a nice warm ambiance and contemporary décor. The most amazing feature of the building has to be the old barn and stables which are part of the converted dining area, giving it a smart old rustic look with exposed beams and brickwork - see it and you will love it! This familyowned restaurant prides itself on creating authentic, home-cooked Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine, including many traditional classics. The chefs at The Spice Brasserie have experience in some

of the top Indian restaurants up and down the country and have created a really interesting menu which contains unique and unusual dishes whilst at the same time catering for traditional tastes. There is a great selection of fish, seafood and duck on the menu, in addition to the usual chicken and lamb dishes. Whilst the food is of the high-

est quality, it doesn’t come with a high price tag; it’s all very competitively priced and some say the cheapest around. The owners deserve great credit for creating a warm and welcoming venue, with great service and a fantastic menu, and The Spice Brasserie is a great Indian Restaurant which will pull in the crowds.

SEA ODYSSEY ENTERS LIVERPOOL FOLKLORE It is estimated that over 600,000 people witnessed the Sea Odyssey event in Liverpool over the weekend 20-22 April and no one who saw this fantastic spectacle will ever forget it. The people of Liverpool took the Little Girl, her Uncle (and not forgetting the dog Xolo!) entirely to their hearts and the event has left a truly indelible memory. Kai, Tawny, Hazel and Annie from Liverpool 8, enjoy a picnic while the Little Girl Giant is sleeping.

As most of our readers will now know, the event was staged to mark the

centenary of the Titanic disaster and was inspired by an actual letter (which is in the Merseyside Maritime Museum) which 10 year-old Liverpool girl May McMurray wrote to her father William, a steward on the Titanic, days before the ship sank. The 30ft Girl and 50ft Uncle travelled separately around the city, with the Little Girl “waking up” in Stanley Park on the Friday morning prior to commencing her walk through the city in search of her Uncle. They met at

King’s Dock on Saturday evening and there was hardly a dry eye to be witnessed at the emotional moment that they did meet up. The Giants bade

Liverpool farewell as they sailed down the Mersey by barge on the Sunday afternoon at the conclusion of an unforgettable weekend.

Local charity, Partnership for Learning is one of the first organisations to benefit from the recent success announced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) due to the increasing demand for the car m a n u f a c t u r e r ’s awarding winning Range Rover Evoque. Over a three month period, Partnership for Learning Charity will welcome approximately 5000 people through its doors in Speke as part of JLR’s recruitment drive to increase their Halewood workforce by 1000 to cater for the global demand for the Land Rover Freelander 2 and the recently launched Range Rover Evoque. The charity offers the ideal venue for JLR to conduct this project, offering 30 different purpose built training rooms which include a 150 seat theatre and a workshop big enough to house the body shell of an Evoque, which potential employees will be trained on. The Chair of the Charity Maureen Leatherbarrow commented: “We are so pleased to welcome Jaguar

Land Rover and their new recruits to Partnership for Learning Charity Training Conference Centre. We are the only facility of this kind who can accommodate such a project and we are proud to be part of JLR’s success on Merseyside. The income generated from this will help our charity to deliver training and employment skills to people in South Liverpool and Knowsley which will hopefully encourage further investors to the area in future.” If you would like more information about holding your next training conference event at Partnership for Learning Charity please contact 0151 288 2100 or visit www.p4lcharity.co.uk .

Well Done Whitegates Woolton

Victoria and her team at Whitegates Woolton really went to town on their Charity Coffee Morning. It seemed like the whole village called in. Word must have got round about the quality of the cupcakes and gateaux. They were awesome! With raffle prizes of a

luxury weekend in York, The Clothes show, a signed shirt from Blackburn Rovers, plus wines and a basket of fruit, the morning’s work made over £300 towards the EA Foundation which will go to help the homeless. Well done Woolton.

STONEYCROFT GO UP BUT NOT AS CHAMPIONS! by Mick Titherington Stoneycroft finished their campaign with a comfortable win over a spirited Alumni side which meant they topped the table and assured themselves of playing Premiership football next season but whether they stayed there and went up as champions was no longer in their hands. Having completed their fixtures and with the two clubs below them capable of overtaking them should either win all of their remaining fixtures this was a real nail-biter for the Stoneycroft team that had led the division for most of the campaign. The two teams, however, had to play each other and a draw would mean the championship going to Stoneycroft. Alas, this crucial fixture saw West Everton Xavs run out 4-1 winners over Liverpool North to pip the unlucky Crofters to the title by two points. Stoneycroft were left to rue the draws against Waterloo GSOB and Leyfield towards the latter end of the season as they were games in which they had

enough chances to win three or four games. However, these are the ‘what ifs?’ and ‘if onlys?’ that every team ponders after a hard fought season. Although missing out on top spot the Stoneycroft management and players can be nothing but pleased with themselves as they return to the Premiership after one season in the lower division and this time they look better equipped to deal with the pressures that come with playing at the top level. Success has come at a price, though, with a long list of serious injuries to cope with. Most teams would have crumbled with the loss of such star names but credit to those who deputised and contributed to the promotion push. We wish Eddie Baker, Steve Dowd and Carl Donohue who all sustained breaks to leg, cheekbone and foot respectively full and speedy recoveries and hope they will be able to resume their places in the Stoneycroft line up in the near future. Overall assessment? A great manager, a great set of lads and a great season! Good luck in 2012/13!!

A tremendous goal by Gary Pollard achieved the vital win, allowing the team to relax with successive 4-0 wins over Mersey Royal and Chester Nomads to win the title by nine points. This was South’s fifteenth successive away win, completing a 100% away record which is a club record dating back to 1935. The club’s reserve team won the IZingari Combination second division title by a whopping 15 points after their main rivals Real Stadium dropped a succession of points at the end of the season. A 1-1 draw with Real Stadium saw the team drop points for only the second time all season, the equaliser being leading scorer Mitchell McNally’s 29th of the season. The club now hope to move the reserve team into the third division of the West Cheshire League next season, subject to league approval. South’s youth team finished a very creditable third in the West Cheshire League youth division, despite all the players being under 17, and reached the final of the league cup, losing 1-0 to league champions Lower Breck Boys in the final at Prescot Cables FC. The pick of South’s junior teams was undoubtedly the under 14s who, under Phil Briscombe, achieved a league and cup double in the Belle Vale Junior League, defeating runners-up Bootle on penalties in the league cup final after a breathless 4-4 draw. The under 11s, under Steve Jones, were on the receiving end of a league and cup double to Netherley Wood Lane Legion, losing the cup final 3-2 after extra time.
