WHAT’S INSIDE
ON THE RIGHT LINES
STRANGE TALES
by Stephen Guy
Excitement grew as the experimental new mode of transport linking the city centre to south Liverpool became a reality. In November 1898 electric trams started rumbling along the lines between Derby Square and Dingle. Within a few weeks,
trial services along the six mile route were declared a success. Over the next few years electric trams were running on 140 miles of track around the city. Previously trams had been horse-drawn and had literally followed a rocky road before operating suc-
cessfully. The earliest Liverpool trams ran from 1860 but the lines were laid in troughs below the street surface, causing many accidents. The lines were such a nuisance they had to be taken up. An 1868 Act of Parliament stipulated that the rails must be

Advocates of single-deckers declared they were quicker to load and unload passengers. Staircases were improved so people could get up and down more rapidly. However, the issue of putting roofs on the top deck had to be resolved. Early attempts brought complaints
that the top deck was stuffy with an offensive atmosphere in the summer. A report declared: “Outside travelling during a considerable portion of the year is both pleasant and beneficial. It is well known that a large number of people in the summer months avail themselves of it purely for constitutional purposes.” Tr a m s b e c a m e overcrowded downstairs in cold or wet weather because people were reluctant to go on top.
Covered cars were introduced in 1903 – the roofs could be brought in and out of use in less than a minute. Eventually most trams were built with permanently covered top decks.
depots making sure the trams were spick and span. Seats, floors, stairs and platforms were daily sprayed with diluted perchloride of mercury, which would be considered a health hazard today.
An open-topped tram is pictured travelling along Aigburth Road where overhead power was provided using central poles.
Bye-laws banned passengers from spitting, swearing and other offensive behaviour.
More than a century ago many people rarely bathed and cleaning the tram interiors was a priority. Squads of cleaners went into action at the

trees in the woods. Trees always came before family and friends as far as he was concerned. Henry even worked among the branches. His office was in a tree house constructed between the boughs of the magnificent specimen of taxus baccata that gave Yew Tree Lane its name. Here he felt more at home, away from his mildly-sympathetic wife and her barking dogs. Henry chanced on the seeds by accident while walking in the Welsh hills communing with his beloved pines and oaks. They whispered to him in the cool breeze wafting down from Moel Fammau. His trained eye spotted the seeds clustered beside a boul-
der and he immediately knew they were different. Scrutiny under the microscope showed unique features which he noted down. He compared similar seeds in textbooks dating back to the 16th century kept in the renowned Athenaeum library. Henry felt a deep sense of excitement with his discovery and carefully planted the seeds in a compost of his own creation. “Now we will see you,” he murmured confidentially as he placed the tray on an airy shelf in his greenhouse. The seedlings confirmed that this was a previously unrecorded species of willow which he named salix blynk. Three weeks later the seedlings disappeared. Henry made the discovery one sun-

Then, several hours later, he spotted the seedlings in a row on the edge of a flower bed. “Someone is playing a trick on me,” Henry muttered to himself.

BURGLAR BUSTED BY DAD DAVID’S NEW PATENT INVENTION After a burglar entered his children’s bedroom through a locked patio door, Dad David Dempsey quit his job and committed himself full-time to inventing a device that would ensure this would never happen again. David, who is a mechanical engineer, says that this was one of the most terrifying experiences he has ever experienced. Every night after tucking Isabelle (10) and Patrick (8) into bed, David would religiously ensure the bedroom patio door was locked. However, the morning after the break-in as David passed the children’s bedroom, what he saw next was heart-stopping. He looked into the
bedroom and the first thing he saw was the curtain blowing inwards on the sliding patio door. David knew immediately that someone had broken into the room. “My first thought was that my children had been abducted”, David told the LINK, “but thankfully I soon realised that they were safe and asleep. On further investigation my phone had gone from beside my bed, with some cash and a bag taken from the kitchen. I did not really care about the stolen items and just sat down and thanked God that the intruder had not harmed or abducted my children. I discovered later by trial and error that it’s quite easy to open a locked patio or
French door but it’s really hard to believe that a burglar was walking around my kids room and my own without me knowing. I could do nothing to protect my family”. After this terrifying experience David set himself one of his biggest engineering challenges ever - to design a device that is affordable (£24.99) and pocketsized that can physically lock and alarm any kind of door or window without the need for tools to fit it. After 3000 hours David is happy to say that DADi Alert is now born (Deter Any Dangerous Intruder). DADi Alert was launched in Ireland in March this year and has had a huge response from the media and radio. It is already stocked in
over 200 shops nationwide in Ireland and now David has moved to Liverpool to launch DADi Alert. David continued: “The device allows anyone to use it and you don’t need a tradesman to fit it as it’s really simple to install. The device was demonstrated recently at a Police Exhibition in Ireland and got overwhelming reviews from top-ranking police officers. DADi Alert switches the element of surprise from the attacker to the victim, it gives the victim time to react and take action so now everyone in society can afford a house alarm”.

couple of months? If the answer to this is “yes” the Merseyside Community Fundraising Office for Marie Curie Cancer Care needs your help to look after collecting tins in your local area. A full kit will be provided along with a list of shops, pubs, cafes and other small local businesses who have already offered to display a tin. The role involves emptying the tins every couple of months, counting and banking the money raised and completing the necessary paperwork. We also ask our collecting tin volunteers to find new local shops and businesses to take a collecting tin. Local Community Fundraiser Antony Jones said “This role can work around you as collecting tins can be picked up whenever you have some spare time. We aim to raise £52,000 from our collecting tins in our region this year so by sparing a bit of your time you’ll be part of something really special” For more information and to offer to help, please contact Antony on 0151 801 1412.

DERVISH
The world famous traditional Irish band DERVISH are appearing at St
Michaels Irish Centre, Liverpool on 14/9/2013. One of the most
Say you saw it in the LINK sought after acts on the live music circuit, exceptional musicianship, breathtaking vocals, high-energy sets of tunes and instantly compelling songs. “If Dervish are in town – or anywhere remotely within reach – don’t dare miss them” - Chicago Herald It is not without good reason that Dervish have become one of the most enduring and highly acclaimed line-ups ever to have come out of Ireland. Singer Cathy
Jordan is widely seen as Irish music’s finest frontwoman, while the band on fiddle, flute, bouzouki, mandola, bodhran & accordion draw from seemingly limitless depths of finesse, subtlety and talent to create one of the most distinctive, yet expertly balanced sounds anywhere in traditional music. This is Irish traditional music at its very best. Tickets on sale £15.00 St Michaels Irish centre, tel no - 0152 263 1808

I have run the business for nearly 20 years now. I really love it and customers are always saying what a lovely place it is with great food, great service and amazing, friendly staff. As you can imagine, this makes me feel really happy and proud. One of the great things about running the business is the number of wonderful people I have met who have become regular customers and friends. We have had some famous customers over the
years, including footballers, soap stars, musicians and celebrity chefs (which is always great as I have a real passion for food!) and I have met tourists and visitors to the city who I have remained in contact with and who always come to Chantilly whenever they re-visit Liverpool. It’s been an amazing journey so far and I really look forward to welcoming friends and customers, old and new alike, to Chantilly for many years to come”.

Say you saw it in the LINK continued from page 24 if those opportunities would have been converted it may have been a different story as it was the rest of the half was evenly fought with both sides squandering half chances. After the restart Villa went three at the back and began to press for the equaliser but they found the
Stoneycroft backline in resolute mood with centre backs Brian Porter, another debutant, and Mick Gough in fine form. It would be wrong however to single anybody out in what was an all-round team effort with the mood in the team one of determination and commitment. Paul Finnegan played a captain’s role ably assisted in midfield by Paul
Carruthers. Adam Hughes turned in workman like performance before having to go off seven minutes into the second half and his replacement, Simon Baker continued in similar vein. Sam Kershaw at full back is getting back to his best form and with Mike Kinney upfront displaying his undoubted talent sup-
23 ported by Costello and Eddie Baker, with substitutes Mike Holpin, another new signing, and Adam Beckett making vital contributions the overall display pleased the manager. “Although for much of the second half we found ourselves pegged back by a determined Villa side I couldn’t fault the manner in which we de-
fended our lead and it was a great disappointment when they equalised two minutes from time but that does not take anything away from our performance and the players’ attitude could not be faulted” he said after the game. The Stoneycroft players must have thought they had done enough to earn all three points but surprising-
ly after the equaliser both sides had chancesin the dying minutes to secure victory but in the end the draw was probably the fairest outcome. The Croft now travel to play newly promoted Allerton in midweek for the second of five fixtures to be played in August.

SOUTH IN PENALTY DRAMA by Jim Stanway
South Liverpool FC were within one penalty of winning some silverware before the league campaign had commenced, losing the pre-season Bill Weight Trophy to West Kirby on penalties. South had an unbeaten pre-season with a 2-1 win against new NW Counties League outfit Widnes
Vikings and a 2-2 draw at another NW Counties side Daisy Hill. Five goals in four pre-season matches from new striker Carl Gargan immediately put pressure on last season’s potent strike force of Cameron Dalton (35 goals) and Alex Woodcock (38 goals) but all three strikers have shown up really well in all the pre-season friendlies.
South had qualified for the Bill Weight Trophy by virtue of w i n i n g t h e We s t Cheshire League second division championship and were drawn against first division champions Heswall in the semi-final. A 1-1 draw, with both sides scoring penalties, brought about a penalty shoot-out, which South won 4-3 with goalie Peter Webster producing a tremendous save to clinch the tie. The final saw South visiting first division cup winners West Kirby and the game was a highly entertaining 4-4 draw, with Cameron Dalton netting a hat-trick only to see South edged out 65 in the ensuing penalty shoot-out. The league campaign has produced mixed results with a 30 home win against fellow promotees
Mallaby (goals by Adam Rood, Elliott Burnett & Cameron Dalton) and a 3-1 defeat by Maghull when South’s first-choice strike force of Gargan, Dalton and Woodcock were all unavailable to start. The reserves started their league season with a superb 4-2 win at Ford Motors, with two goals from Curtis Cummins and one each from Francis Evans (after only 33 seconds) and James Walsh. Fords had been playing in the Liverpool County Premier League premier division last season and are clear favourites to win the third division of the West Cheshire League. The new-look youth team, under the guidance of Mark Eyres and Dave Byrne, have had encouraging wins in pre-season; 8-0

for a variety of reasons selection was somewhat restricted for manager John Leary. Two of the starting line-up were making their debuts with another on the bench and Sam Kershaw was making his first appearance in a competitive fixture for over a year. There was an explosive start reminiscent of last season when early goals featured a lot, the difference was this time it was the Croft who netted after five minutes when debutant Adam

Hughes poked the ball home from a corner. The visitors seemed inspired by this and went close soon after when the excellent Mike Kinney lobbed the home ‘keeper almost from the halfway line only to see the ball go excruciatingly wide of the post by a whisker. Minutes later Danny Costello was through with only the keeper to beat but again his effort was wide of the mark. All this happened in opening fifteen minutes and continued on page 23
