OVERHEAD OPENING by Stephen Guy The top politician returned to his Liverpool roots to open the latest wonder of the Victorian age – the Overhead Railway. The Marquess of Salisbury’s father had married into Liverpool’s Gascoyne family, acquiring extensive land in and around the city. The Gascoynes built picturesque Childwall Hall. It was 4 February 1893 and burly, bearded Lord Salisbury (1830-1903) was in the city to launch the world’s first overhead electric railway. The Tory leader and political
titan had already served two terms as Prime Minister between 1885 and 1892. He was now briefly in opposition – with Liverpudlian Liberal William Gladstone in power. Following the ceremony, finishing touches were carried out on the line and the Overhead opened to the public on 6 March. It was an instant hit and was dubbed the Dockers’ Umbrella because of the shelter it provided along the full length of the docks. The Overhead was inspired by the elevated steam railway in New York.

Parliament in 1882 gave the green light to the Liverpool line and work began in 1889. The initial £466,000 system was cheaper than one with steam trains, as originally planned. The Overhead was built from wroughtiron girders mostly in 50 ft spans standing 16 ft above the roadway. It connected Seaforth to Dingle – the southern section was completed in 1896, including an 800 yard tunnel. Eventually the system was extended to Aintree The Overhead was powered by six
steam engines (pictured) in a generating station near the centre of the line. They were powered by 30 ft long Lancashire boilers providing steam at a pressure of 120 pounds per square inch. The Musgrave horizontal compound condensing engines ran at 100 rpm generating 500 amperes at 500 volts. A boiler, superheater and condensing plant and other additions were added as services increased. New trains were introduced in 1902 which reduced travel times. Originally the entire length of the Overhead was cov-
ered in 32 minutes, including 16 stops an average speed of just over 12 mph. The improved equipment upped this to nearly 19 mph largely due to the new faster trains weighing 55 tons
when loaded with 154 passengers. The Overhead provided a grandstand view of Liverpool’s bustling docks and warehouses - and lifelong memories for those who travelled on it.

We thought LINK readers might be interested in the Jubilee Crown which has been planted on Kings Drive. The old raised flower bed was very boring so we decided to change it and what better theme could we use than The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
It has been constructed and planted entirely by volunteers, the central planting representing the purple of the
crown and the lowest level the ermine. We have had so many positive comments from passers-by, partic-
ularly from drivers waiting at the traffic lights while we were working on it - usually in the rain!

CELEBRATING ANCIENT MIDSUMMER WITH A MODERN SPIRIT by Teresa Gestwa According to a Polish Midsummer celebration ritual, if the floating wreath is found in the river by a fitting mate the wreath maker will marry very soon, otherwise she shall wait for the next 12 months. Even though this practice may not be an accurate marriage prediction in the modern world, it did not stop over 300 people from enjoying traditional Polish wreath making recently in the World Museum Liverpool, initiated by Merseyside Polonia. As soon as the door of the Weston Discovery Centre was open to the public the room was full of people interested in this unique Polish custom. The Midsummer Night is a magic time of the year rejoiced by the ancient Slavs as a celebration of fire and water. One of the rituals that accompanied it was making and floating flower garlands down the river. Rather than believing in this pagan tradition Merseyside Polonia preferred to enjoy this Polish ritual by turning it into a community gathering and a great opportunity to try out visitors’ artistic skills. This successful event saw many happy faces in the World Museum who were eager to celebrate Polish culture. Wreath making was a bit of a challenge for some but one to evoke a great sense of achievement. Take a look at the impressive cress paper flower crowns documented on many photos available on the charity’s Facebook page. As an organisation fostering good relationships between the local community and Polish people, Merseyside Polonia offers an array of cultural events throughout the year. If you wish to find out more visit Merseyside Polonia on Facebook or sign up for an event alert by sending an email to info@merseysidepolonia.com.

THE HOODIE AND THE HIGH RIP GANG
7
Opening On
16th August
How Did your Ancestors Live a Hundred Years Ago? Local author Kenny O’Connell became interested in researching family history and after then reading “The Gangs of Liverpool” (a history of Liverpool’s Victorian street gangs written by Michael Macilwee) he decided to a write a novel based on the subject. By using the comparisons between the 2011 and the 1911 census years he came up with a story that is told through the eyes of a hoodie who is sent back in time to 1911. The Hoodie goes on a life-changing journey into the past; he witnesses poverty, injustice and the brutality of the 1911 riots. The hunter then becomes the hunted as he becomes a victim of the notorious High Rip Gang, who terrorised Liverpool. What they said about “The Hoodie and the High Rip Gang”: • Doctor Michael Macilwee (author)… “A stirring tale of gang warfare, love and redemption in the Liverpool slums” • Andrew Schofield (actor)... “Every now and then another great story about Liverpool comes along and I believe this to be one of them”

0151 259 8484 Bruno is a handsome and friendly eight year old Black and Grey Cocker Spaniel at Dogs Trust Merseyside. He came to the rehoming centre from the dog warden who brought him in as his family didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want him anymore. Bruno has got cataracts which restrict his vision, but he is currently undergoing tests at the centre to determine whether this is operable. Despite his eyesight problems Bruno is bouncy and full of energy! However he does need a lot of human company and gets very distressed when left alone. He therefore needs to be rehomed with someone who is at home a lot of the time. Bruno can be rehomed with children aged over eight but not with cats. The rehoming centre is also currently running desperately low on stocks of tinned dog food, so is appealing to readers for any tins they can spare.

To advertise see page TWO continued from page 10 before market day. Mary told us “I think the market is great, bringing both locals and people from outside West Derby to the village. It helps to bring the community together and make a difference. I was delighted with the support for the market, it all went very well and it can only get better. It was great to have the animals there and maybe there’ll be a few more next time”. “Future Market dates are first Saturday of each month, next one 4th August” continued Mary “With all the lows in the current media it does show a brighter side of West Derby and also shows that the surrounding areas have a lot to offer with the likes of Croxteth Park Heritage Society promoting Croxteth Park
Say you saw it in the LINK Hall which we are very lucky to have on our doorstep. Everyone in the area got involved, including the church who had a car boot sale with free coffee, and we at The Sefton offered up a megabreakfast for just £4, tea and
coffee included - great value. We’ve had nothing but positive reactions from all involved and I was really pleased to see The LINK there”.

West Derby pictured enjoying his ice cream, mum Heather took her two boys along to the market and she told us how much she liked the market and thought it was really good for the community.

The good news is that all of the squad that won promotion have indicated they will be staying at the club and either have or will be signing forms in the near future. Manager John Leary oversaw a testing first session which the players not so much enjoyed but endured with good humour and high spirits. John was delighted to see Steve Dowd back in full training and heartened by the news that Carl Donohue is set to return and Eddie Baker has been given the OK to start running with the hope he will be back in action around October. All the other players have reported back with fit to play clearance. Pre-season friendlies, which because of ground availability will all have to be played away, include the annual fixture with Airbus, in the Bryan Jones Memorial Cup, South Liverpool and Waterloo GSOB leading up to the first Premier League game on 18th August. A number of players received awards which were presented at a social evening arranged to celebrate the season’s success. Recipients included Liam Currie, Player of the Year; Paul Finnegan, Players’ Player of the Year; Jon Bowers, Supporters’ Player of the Year and Sam Kershaw, Young Player of the Year (all pictured at the event). Congratulations go to all of them. The club will be running a Veterans side this year and they will compete in the I Zingari Combination Veterans Division. Chairman Kenny Morrison welcomed this move and said “We are pleased with this development as we are anxious to extend our involvement with the community and widen our support. The expense of running a side in the Premier League is considerably increased and we are hopeful that we can gather support from local businesses or individuals to advertise in our programme and/or sponsor games”. Anybody interested should contact Kenny on 07771735909 or secretary Mick Titherington on 07900 915722.
