WHAT’S INSIDE
DEATH AT THE PRIORY
STRANGE TALES
by Stephen Guy
The baronet became increasingly annoyed as he heard the evidence against his son in the magistrates’ court.
He could not believe what he was hearing – his son Arthur, one of eight children, was accused of riding his bicycle on the pavement.
Sir Arthur Forwood MPlistened intently to the evidence of PC 209 Sproston relating to an incident in Acrefield Road, Woolton. It was August 1897 and Sir Arthur was a dominant figure in Liverpool business and political circles. He lived in a mansion called The Priory in Woolton Hill Road and was known for his brusque, no-nonsense manner.
PC Sproston told the court how young Arthur tried to escape but he chased and caught him. However, when the boy stood up in court PC Sproston was unable to identify him as the errant cyclist. Sir Arthur launched a scathing attack on the police evidence and declared it was a case of mistaken identity. The magistrates agreed and the case was dismissed.
The Priory was a prominent landmark overlooking Childwall Valley for 60 years after shipowner and leading Conservative Sir Arthur built it in 1871. Many leading politicians visited the Forwoods at their impressive home. Chancellor of the Exchequer and later Foreign Secretary Sir Stafford Northcote stayed at The Priory in 1884.
how a crowd greeted Lord Salisbury at Garston Station: “Several lines of bunting were displayed and the juvenile band of the Garston Orange Lodge and True Blues paraded up and down playing appropriate tunes.” Sir Arthur died at The Priory in September 1898, aged 62 – it was said from over-work. His family stayed on until 1909
when magistrate Paul Hemelryk took up residence. The Priory was a convent between 1923 and 1930, then demolished. All that remains today is a pedestrian gate (pictured) that once stood next to the main entrance. PC Sproston had the last word. Just days after the bike incident, the conscientious officer caught Sir Arthur’s dog at large

“Don’t brush it off,” urged Jessie. “It’s a money spider. If it lands on you it means good fortune.” Alice squashed it. Despite this, the two became close friends and Alice would confide in the older girl. Later that day Jessie was darning socks when she noticed a tiny spider crawling on her arm. Two days later a let-

ter containing a 10 shilling postal order arrived from her aunt wishing her well in the new job. Jessie smiled, spent half the money on pretty clothes and put the rest in the Liverpool Savings Bank. Jessie decided she loved spiders and would spend idle moments trying to get them to crawl on her. Some did but with negative results.
Then one day a large spider settled itself on her shoulder, staying five minutes before moving on. The spider briefly explored the glittering surface of a turquoise broach Jessie had bought at a jumble sale for tuppence. Afew days later Mr Thorpe, a jeweller friend of the Greens, spotted the broach and offered Jessie five pounds for it. A canny girl, she asked for five guineas and soon had a crisp five pound note and five shiny shillings in her purse. She had never had so much money. Jessie spent the five shillings and put the rest in the savings bank. Alice’s passing was not totally unexpected. A sickly child, she caught pneumonia on the New Brighton ferry and was quickly gone. Jessie helped to lay her out ready for the funeral, a dignified ceremony attended by
many of Alice’s school friends. That night, as Jessie prepared to go to bed, an enormous spider landed on her wrist. The plump creature plodded about for about 10 minutes as Jessie watched entranced. It then disappeared under the curtains. “Alice always loved this and we know she’d want you to have it,” Dr Green told Jessie. The large oil painting of three puppies had hung over Alice’s bed. Jessie was delighted but left the Greens shortly afterwards for a better position. She discovered the painting was a lost work by George Stubbs and sold it for 500 guineas. After the war the Greens moved out of their villa and Jessie moved in. • Read my next Strange Tale – Annie on the Ivories – in the March Link.

ALDER FC SECOND TEAM PROGRESS by Peter Harrison With the Xmas break and heavy waterlogged pitches there has not been much football played in the last month. However the second team, who play in the second division of the Liverpool County Premier League, have been making good progress and moving up the league table. Afine 2-0 away victory against Aintree Villa was followed up with a 5-2 victory against Eli Lilley. Dale Irvine, David Owen,
Dean Welsh and Shaun Davis have been the regular marksmen. The first team’s remarkable run of draws continued with a 1-1 draw to Waterloo GSOB and a high scoring 5-5 draw against Alumini, with Timmy Naylor, Chris White a n d Te r r y Ty n a n amongst the goals. The Veterans secured a 1-1 draw against De la Salle, Mick Russell grabbing the goal, but had Ian Fackerley to thank for a last minute save in his role as stand-in goalkeeper.
CROFT FAIL TO GAIN THE POINTS IN SPIRITED DISPLAY by Mick Titherington WATERLOO DOCK 3 STONEYCROFT 1 Stoneycroft FC greeted the New Year with a familiar problem when boss Ross Kirkpatrick faced a number of his squad declaring themselves unavailable, severely limiting his selection options. To compound the
problem, late arrivals necessitated the team sheet to be changed just prior to the kick off to ensure they started with a full complement. So with over 20 players unavailable it must have been with some trepidation that they faced a strong in-form Waterloo Dock side that has designs on the championship. Boss Kirkpatrick,
had to include himself in the starting line-up and was forced to move his captain, Paul Finnegan, from midfield into the back three, introducing teenagers Callum Walker and Paul Jewell into central midfield roles. Given the restriction of choice the performance from his team needs to be com-
mended as they showed determination and a competitive spirit in an overall competent display which saw them take the lead in the 31st minute with a well hit drive from Walker. With Finnegan and Currie in outstanding form - these two would grace any team in the league and beyond - followed closely by Joey
Wafer, backed up by keeper Andy Wright, the Croft defence presented a formidable resistance to an eager Dock side striving to get back on terms. Indeed, they were able to repel the home side’s attacks relatively comfortably until the 75th minute, when the referee awarded the Dock a free kick just outside the Croft goal area.
The kick was duly converted to break the hearts of the Stoneycroft players and supporters. Understandably the visitors’ heads dropped after such a cruel blow and they began to tire, conceding two late goals as any potential points gain slipped away. Disappointing as the result was, the Croft players can
hold their heads high and take solace in the manner in which they performed. Walker and Jewell are youngsters with great potential. Andy Wright must be one of the best shot stoppers around. Stalwarts Currie and Finnegan turned in another brilliant display to show they truly are the real deal. But it is points that make prizes and
the Croft have to start getting them from somewhere to salvage their season. Stoneycroft: Wr i g h t ; Wa f e r, Finnegan, Currie; S.Baker; E.Baker, J e w e l l , Wa l k e r, Allen, R.Kirkpatrick, Carruthers. Subs: Porter, Nasser.

SOUTH PURSUE RUNNERS-UP SPOT
Action from West Kirkby game 4th Jan (south in white)
Friendly Staff - Great Food
by Jim Stanway With the wet weather taking its toll on recent fixtures, South Liverpool FC have had an enforced mid-season break in their pursuit of the runners-up spot in the West Cheshire League First Division.

able to finish teams off and have drawn their last five home league games. A 3-3 draw with West Kirby, with goals from Gary Pollard, Craig Williams and Cameron Dalton, saw the team gain a 3-2 lead after going 2-0 down only to give away a penalty in the last five minutes. A 2-2 draw with Cammell Lairds Reserves followed a similar pattern with two goals from Gary Pollard producing a 21 lead after going 1-0 down only for the opposition to draw level with minutes to go. Shortly before Christmas South produced their worst performance of the season with a 3-0 defeat at mid-table Chester Nomads, effectively ending their now forlorn pursuit of leaders Maghull.

The reserves made progress in the league cup with a penalty shoot-out win over Ford Motors after a goalless draw in which both keepers, South’s Luke Picken and Fords’ Andy Murray, were in outstanding form. The team also suffered a 4-2 defeat to Chester Nomads Reserves but gained 3 points with an easy 40 win over Merseyside Police, including two goals from the returning Francis Evans. The youth team managed only one game during the period but it was a spectacular 8-1 win over Maghull with two goals each from Jordan McGowan and Mike Davies and one each for Joe Preston, David Mee, Alex Walsh and Alex Griffiths.
