GREAT ESCAPE by Stephen Guy The First World War was raging with both sides suffering the horrors of trench warfare – for years little progress was made on the Western Front. Although the thunder of guns in France
Second World War, these had little effect. could be heard in the south of England, there was little physical impact on people at home. German warships shelled some coastal areas and Zeppelin airships made sporadic bombing raids but, compared to the
Life, for many, continued as before the war. Sadly, seemingly normal routine could be shattered with the arrival of a telegram with bad news. This happened when my Uncle Ted was killed at Ypres in 1914, aged 20. No-
one was immune – shocking news came to Croxteth Hall when the 6th Earl’s 16-yearold son was killed in the naval Battle of Jutland. It the countryside it must have seemed the Great War was a world away. It was January 1916 and among those escaping the realities of war was a well-off Scottish visitor at the Childwall Abbey Hotel. A century ago Childwall was very rural, the village clustered around the church nestling in wooded countryside. Score Lane was gated to prevent sheep and cattle straying. The visitor sent a sepia postcard (pictured) to Dundee, perhaps written while admiring the wintery view over Childwall
Valley. Earlier they negotiated the steep lanes in a car similar to one seen parked by the hotel. The visitor wrote: “Have motored out here this afternoon and had tea and a look round. We enjoyed ourselves very much. It’s lovely countryside here with fine hunting

Some years later Childwall Priory Farm (now demolished) was also given a Gothic makeover – but only on the side visible from the Hall. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the M u s e u m o f Liverpool, PierHead, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission

Achauffeur dealt with breakdowns and difficulties finding petrol. There was never a religious abbey or priory at Childwall. The names arose after wealthy landowner Bamber Gascoyne built Childwall Hall in 1780. With its fashionable Gothic features it re-

Hopefully, for some it will mean financial prosperity. For others it could mean a change in health (let it be for the better). Others may be planning life-changing situations like getting married or starting a family. Then there are those who will be changing jobs or homes, moving to new areas or coming to terms with not-so-good changes that have taken place during the last twelve months. And no doubt there are those who will be starting the New Year in true traditional style

LIVERPOOL TIME MACHINE Stephen Guy’s Forgotten Liverpool looks at some fascinating
true stories in and around Merseyside. The Liverpool Link
columnist’s 81-page profusely-illustrated paperback reveals little-known facts gleaned from exten-
sive research and personal memories. Based on Stephen’s popular Saturday column Merseyside Tales in the Liverpool Echo, the book also includes a specially-commissioned article about Lowlands. This Grade II-listed former merchant’s mansion in Haymans Green, West Derby, has served as West Derby Community Centre since 1957.
Stephen is a director of the registered charity. More than 30 articles examine Liverpool’s early history, the growth of the town into a major world city and port, the Victorian era, holidays and leisure, shopping, fashion and transport. Stephen, chairman of the West Derby S o c i e t y, s a y s : “Liverpool lies at the heart of a dynamic and inspirational region.
3 “It grew from a quiet backwater into a bustling centre in a relatively short time, producing and attracting many talented and hard-working people.
• S t e p h e n G u y ’s Forgotten Liverpool is available price £4.99 from newsagents and bookshops, visit merseyshop.com or call 0845 143 0001.
“Liverpool is known throughout the world for its distinctive, attractive culture. In this book I aim to build up a picture of how and why this happened.”

Garment Alteration Specialists Now in Liverpool erpool as the UK There’s cause for celebration in Liv ration company and Ireland’s leading garment alte rton Road The ZipYard opens its doors on Alle Need A Little Alteration? Offering sewing expertise, quality tailoring, speed, convenience and value for money, The ZipYard offers a great low cost way to renew or restyle your wardrobe, by bringing to life clothes that don’t fit or need repairing. 44 year old local businessman Iain McGuigan is the man responsible for bringing this innovative and recession friendly business to Liverpool. Iain: “I like the concept of reviving or recycling what you’ve already got. My motto is ‘Don’t buy new, the one you’ve got will do!’
“In this day and age most people don’t have the time or skills to do their own clothes alterations and perfectly good clothes are left hanging in the closet. Now people can bring these garments to us and we’ll tailor them to make them fit right.” With 2 full-time seamstresses, manager Iain says: “We offer a very flexible service depending on what each customer needs. We have private fitting rooms and our fully trained seamstresses can fit garments precisely and expertly. Those who don’t want to be fitted by us, are welcome to pin their clothes at home and bring them into us to finish.”
Iain adds: “The ZipYard has an excellent reputation and I’m really excited to be able to offer local people an alternative way to recycle their wardrobe without costing a fortune.”
1 Hours Express Service For Zips, Hems And Minor Repairs The ZipYard offers a wide range of alteration and tailoring services, all done on site by trained professionals in a clean, purpose-built environment. From dress restyling and taking in or letting out to bridalwear fitting or formal wear alterations, The ZipYard does it all. There is also a 1-hour express service for zips, hems and minor repairs.
The Perfect Fit The ZipYard isn’t just for your existing clothes as Iain explains: “Clothes sizes in the high street vary so much and I hope that if people know they have a reliable, cost effective alteration service just down the road they can still buy the clothes they like even if they are a little too big or a little too long.”

STRANGE TALES
LEONARDO’S HORSE by Anton Valdemart The artist stared intently at the magnificent horse, frequently glancing down as he sketched the passive animal.
Leonardo da Vinci would occasionally refer to notes that he had jotted down on another piece of paper. He wrote numbers and measurements on the
drawing (pictured) which he added to a growing pile of similar studies. It was 1493 and Leonardo had been in Milan for several years
working for powerful grandee Ludovico Sforza. This was to be his greatest sculpture – a colossal bronze statue commemorating Ludovico’s father
Francesco. At last the preparatory work was complete and Leonardo was ready to cast the statue in bronze. First he made a full-sized clay model which reduced everyone who saw it to a state of awe. Never anything so lifelike been seen, never had nature been so closely replicated by the hand of man. Privileged visitors stood in silence as Leonardo completed his clay masterpiece. Then war intervened. Bronze ordered for the statue was instead turned into cannons and other weapons. Leonardo fled Milan on the fall of his patron Ludovico. History records that French soldiers de-
stroyed the wonderful horse when they occupied the city. However, a recently-discovered manuscript tells a different story. In 1734 the captain of the Liverpool merchant ship Neptune was on a voyage to Genoa with a cargo of cloth and pottery. Richard Hand had an enviable network of contacts gathered on his travels. It was during a ride into the remote countryside that he acquired pieces of a huge statue. Thinking they were Roman antiquities, he moved them by wagon to his ship where the crated fragments were loaded into the hold along with a consignment of wine. In Liverpool he invited his friend John
Stubbs, an expert in horseflesh, to join him on the Neptune in dock. John brought along his 10-year-old son George, a boy already devoted to horses. As they watched, two crewmen lowered the sides of the crates. George was mesmerised by what he saw, marvelling at the grace of the horse’s head and the lifelike portrayal of the massive trunk and legs. “This is too good to be ancient Roman,” piped up the precocious boy. His keen eyes took in every detail of the sculpture as he ran his hands over the smooth clay. “Be that as it may, I have a buyer in Ireland who collects such things – he’ll pay a handsome price,”
said the captain. The crates were resealed and the visitors departed. Next day the Neptune set sail on the high tide. A ferocious storm blew up in the Irish Sea and the Neptune was never seen again. Her figurehead and a few planks were washed up in a remote cove near Cork weeks later. George Stubbs grew up to be a great painter whose horse studies r i v a l L e o n a r d o ’s sketches. George, spurred on by his visit to the Neptune, made the study and portrayal of horses his lifelong work. • Read my next Strange Tale – The Girl Who Loved Spiders – in the February Link.

GET FIGHTING FIT 4 TIPS TO GET YOUR KIDS FITTER THIS WINTER by Paul Coshott 1. When it comes to getting your kids more active, sport with a ball probably comes to mind but some kids just aren’t into sports. Maybe try bringing your kids to my martial arts classes, or to a dance class or maybe try indoor climbing. You have to be patient and it might take a bit of trial and error until you find something your child really enjoys. 2. Do something active as a family. Maybe go for a walk or a swim or a bike ride at weekends. 3. Become a role model for your child. Become more active, set goals and inspire your children. 4. This is only a suggestion but try and limit their TV viewing time. I have done a huge amount of work with kids and kids in care and I have never been 100% sure on the benefits of children having a TV in their room

ALDER FC RUN OF DRAWS CONTINUES by Peter Harrison The first team’s remarkable drawing sequence continues with a further two draws to take their total to 10 draws in 14 matches. Despite goals from Timmy Naylor and Paul O’Hare they drew 3-3 with Byron, and followed this up with a 1-1 draw against Edge Hill. Sandwiched in between was a 5-2 defeat at the hands of league leaders Liver Vaults. The second team are moving up the league nicely following two impressive wins. A fine 3-2 victory against Warbreck has seen them move into a top four position with David Owen, Sean Davis and John Jenks
all netting. The Vets’ team have had mixed fortunes, with a fine 1-0 victory in the cup against Shakespeare with Steve Heywood scoring. However a heavy 6-2 league defeat to Remyca sees them remain in the bottom half of the table. Ian Harold and Jim Davis were the marksmen on this occasion. The Alder Sunday Ladies football team are also producing some good football and are lying in a top three position. Despite a hiccup of a defeat to Tranmere Ladies, they bounced back with a 4-2 victory against Ashton Ladies of Wigan. The goalscorers on the day were Nicola James and Libby, with two goals from Nicola Murphy.
CROFT HOPE FOR BETTER THINGS IN 2014 by Mick Titherington Stoneycroft FC finished off the year before going into the Christmas break by going down 31 to Litherland REMYCA. This followed on from a 1-1 draw at home to Red Rum. Both games saw enforced changes due to injuries and non- availability but the performances from the teams fielded gave much cause for optimism. The
Red
Rum
game saw a spirited display, full of grit and determination, in which the Croft dominated for long periods but failed to convert chances that came their way. Keeper Carl Donohue, back in the team because of Andy Wright’s absence, was really unlucky when he made a superb save from the penalty spot only to see the penalty-taker slot the rebound home to put the visitors ahead. The Croft reaction
was not to drop their heads but to redouble their efforts to get back in the game and it was fitting, if slightly fortuitous, when a Bruce Cromblehome effort was deflected into the net to draw the sides level. The Croft continued to press for a winner but in the end had to settle for a draw. So when the Croft
visited Litherland REMYCA a week later there was hope that they could build on the performance and come away with all three points. After a slightly shaky start they settled into a rhythm and began to play some nice football but were undone after 10 minutes by a through ball that split the middle of the defence and allowed
the REMYCA winger to drive the ball past the despairing Donohue. The visitors responded by upping their game and dominated for most of the first half. Ten minutes into the restart their pressure was rewarded when a Paul Finnegan free kick hit the bar and Gary Allen was on hand to smash the ball into the net from
short range to secure the equaliser. After that it looked like the Maiden Lane outfit were going to go on and win it, but, as has so often happened this season, the gods conspired against them when the referee gave a penalty against Jack Kelsall. To make matters worse, after the penalty had been converted, straight
from the kick off to restart the game a dreadfully misplaced pass allowed REMYCA to add to their lead. These moments of madness have been a common occurrence throughout Stoneycroft’s season so far and will have to be eliminated if they are to progress. Despite the reversal, manager Ross
Kirkpatrick is pleased with the increased commitment and endeavour from his players and with some additions during the Christmas break has reason to be cautiously optimistic about the clubs fortunes in the New Year. One thing is certain - supporters of the club will be glad to see the back of 2013!

West Everton Xaviers, 3-2 at Jericho Lane. Leading 2-0 at halftime with goals from team captain Adam Rood and last season’s leading goalscorer Alex Woodcock, South appeared to be coasting comfortably. However, visiting substitute Dean Williamson scored direct from a freekick and there were several scares before South substitute Mike Thompson made a big difference. One of his excellent corners was headed home by fullback Tom Stewart and although Xaviers scored a last-minute penalty, South are through to the semis for the first time in several years. Two home draws, against Vauxhall Motors Reserves and
Hale, saw four points dropped as league leaders Maghull stole a march on South. The top of the table clash at Maghull saw the league leaders beat South 4-0 and create a massive gap at the top and although South have four games in hand, Maghull are now 16 points clear. The 2-2 draw with Vauxhalls saw South go 2-1 up through goals by Gary Pollard and Adam Rood before the visitors snatched a draw with only minutes left. The 3-3 draw with Hale saw South’s Cameron Dalton head home in injury-time to snatch a point despite dominating Hale for most of the game.
defeats against leaders Vauxhalls and an older, more experienced Mallaby side were both desperately close affairs and, overall, the team’s performances have been very encouraging as the boys adjust to life at youth level after winning the Tuebrook Junior League in record style last season.

The reserves crashed out of the LCFA Junior Cup at the quarter-final stage, losing 4-2 despite being 2-0 ahead at half-time through goals by team captain Neil Roach and leading scorer Curtis Cummins. A 2-1 home defeat to Capenhurst Villa Reserves has dented the team’s promotion hopes after successive 4-1 wins over Hale Reserves and Christleton Reserves. The youth team achieved their second win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Newton with goals from Matthew Read and Abdul Yusuf, the latter scoring on his debut with a superb header. Successive
