HOUSE OF NUMBERS by Stephen Guy
The old stone house saw great changes following the cleari n g o f To x t e t h Park’s royal hunting grounds to make way for farmland. Hundreds of trees were felled in the early 1600s where kings and aristocrats had thrilled at the chase. The forest had been walled off with nobody allowed inside
this exclusive domain.
built about 1618.
By the end of the 17th century there were four farms in the former park. One was White House Farm which originally stood in bleak, open countryside next to a track leading from Liverpool to Speke Hall.
White House Farm carried the date 1666 and it was possibly built by someone who fled the Great Fire of London.
The only other building in the vicinity was the Ancient Chapel of Toxteth,
In 1781 the land, reaching as far as the Mersey, was leased from the Earl of Sefton
The picturesque farmhouse had mullioned windows and two foot thick sandstone walls.

by yeoman farmer Thomas Balmer. The Earl reserved the right to hunt on the land. By this time there were no deer but the family and their guests went after game birds, rabbits, hares, fish and ducks. In 1808 William Bunnell obtained the freehold and later owners included James Birkett and John Chism. The original track grew into Aigburth Road which was ex-
tensively developed in Vi c t o r i a n t i m e s . Fulwood Park was created in 1840 for wealthy merchants – White House Farm stood next to the entrance gates. At about this time it began to be referred to as The Three Sixes, in relation to the date on the building. The name may also have been linked by superstitious people to the number 666 in the B i b l e ’s B o o k o f Revelation.

The original farmhouse (pictured in 1907) was preserved when it was extended around the time Fulwood Park was built. Although some original features were retained, several rooms were knocked into one to let in light and air. John Orrell Strafford JP, a general broker, bought The Three Sixes in 1868 and lived there until his death in 1917. It remained in the family but was used as a kindergarten and school run by Gertrude Harding until 1933. The farmhouse was demolished but a house called The Three Sixes still stands on the site. • 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 free.

Vintage... Hum. A foreign and somewhat alien word to the daily Tunisian dialect and preoccupations. Here, “brand new” is generally the favoured trend, especially when it comes to clothing. Yet the growing number of flea markets establishing themselves across the country these last 7 years or so reveals a growing interest in second-hand items on the part of the Tunisian consumer. I n d e e d , Tu n i s ’ renowned historical flea markets, Malasine, in the North of Tunis, and Hafsia, in downtown Tunis, are now in competition with sev-
eral other district markets, such as Bousalsla in the Northern suburb of La Marsa, Ariana and Ibn Khaldoun markets, both in the north-west of Tunis, and Ezzahra and Rades markets in the southern suburbs of the capital, to name but a few. While most of these markets are run weekly (Bousalsa
To advertise see page TWO on Sundays, Ezzahra on Thursdays, Rades on Saturdays, Ariana on Fridays), Hafsia, which to this day remains the reference, is run every day of the week. Whether you’re looking for contemporary or vintage pieces, all you need to be armed with when planning a trip to the market is a lit-

9 warm croissants will lift your spirits. I generally go on Saturdays, when I’m sure to have the time to grab a glass of freshly squeezed
juice on my way in, and then grab a bite to eat at a local greasy spoon on my way home, feeling charged with enthusiasm, a great sense
of satisfaction and an urge to stick those clothes in the washing machine and show them off to all my friends. Ah... just my kind of shopping!

Well, we know they have travelled: items are shipped over from Europe, the US and Canada, sent over either by charities or retailers specialising in second-hand merchandise, or by fashion retailers who want to get rid of their unsold articles. Normally this commerce is reserved for developing countries. The best part of the trip to the flea market is knowing that whatever you will be taking home in the black plastic bag the vendor will have given you with your purchase in it, you’ll have got a bargain! From 1 dinar (about 40p) to 50 dinars (about £20), prices suit all shapes and sizes of purse. Mainly frequented by women, the flea market typically attracts clients of all

resources. As well as deciding what you want and why you want it, with regards to health and fitness, you then have to start making it happen. These days we are surrounded by so many resources with regards to getting fit - more gyms, more classes, more people doing PT, there are so many options about. However, if you are looking to train on your own and time or maybe money might be an issue, there are other ways on how
you can get fit and achieve your health and fitness goals. S k i p p i n g I have always implemented skipping within my Personal Training sessions. It’s a great exercise as you are using a lot of muscle groups, it gets your heart rate up, burns calories and usually a skipping rope is cheap to buy. If you have not skipped for a while, start off by jumping with your feet together. Take the rope over your head 30 times and then have a tiny rest. If you have not exercised for a while, your heart rate will rocket. Have a tiny rest for a minute or two to let your heart rate come down a bit and then go again. Do this for about 5 minutes, twice a day. I always suggest doing it first thing of a morning and then of an evening, at the end of the day. Doing this twice a day, every day, will certainly take you towards what it is you want to achieve. When your technique is getting better, try skipping non-stop for 3 minutes.

Since then the school has channelled its energy into supporting charities with a mental health focus. To this end the school are organising the Tower2Tower bicycle challenge which will start at Liverpool’s Radio City Tower to
finish at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in July 2014. In total there will be sixteen people taking part including governors, staff, ex pupils, one of whom is my eighteen year old grandson, Jonathan Freeman. The cyclists are hoping to raise as much as they can from the public and local companies in aid of the Liverpool mental health charity Imagine Independence.

Dog of the Month Jess, 5 years old, Blood Hound
Jess is a lovely girl with a gentle soul. She is a typical hound, and loves exploring the outdoors, and will need an active owner who can give her plenty of exercise. She would benefit from a home with plenty of space so she can burn off her excess energy and would need to be in an adult only home. Her ideal owner would have experience of the breed before, and she could live with another calm dog.
If you think you could give Jess a home, please contact Dogs Trust Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or drop into the centre at Whiston Lane Liverpool L36 6HP, United Kingdom Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for nearly 17,000 dogs each year through its network of 18 Rehoming Centres across the UK and one in Dublin.

FRENCH COOKING
Local Company
I’ve always loved cooking and remember with great fondness my cookery lessons at La Sagesse High School where I was a pupil between the ages of 11 to 17. I really did learn the basics during these lessons and I have never forgotten them. Living in France (Paris and the Dordogne region) one cannot help but be interested in food and cooking. I thought it would be a nice idea to share with the LINK readers some of the recipes I’ve picked up over the years, a lot of them from my friends - some of whom are really good cooks .The following recipe is a favourite of ours and was given to me by my friend Brigitte who lives in the Dordogne. I can never get it quite as good as hers but my version isn’t bad! I’m not a professional cook but would just like to share a few ideas - a way of keeping even more in touch with Liverpool! I hope you try some of these recipes and enjoy them.

COURT IN TIME By Stephen Guy A tiny sandstone building in the middle of West Derby Village is of great historical significance. Hardly bigger than a double garage,this is the former manor court where members of the powerful Molyneux family once sat in judgment. The courthouse was built in 1586 when there were just seven streets in Liverpool, clustered around the castle. As well as being the only freestanding post-medieval courthouse in Britain, it is Liverpool’s oldest non-ecclesiastical public building. West Derby Courthouse was not a court in the modern sense – there were no lawyers and the squire acted as steward. The Courthouse represents a vanished way of life long before Britain became a property-owning democracy. When it was built about 50 wealthy
families – most of them royalty or aristocracy – owned England. West Derby was an important settlement when Liverpool was just a farm called Esmedune at the end of Smithdown Lane.. There was probably a courthouse in Saxon times. Elizabeth I personally sanctioned the building of the present Courthouse which signifies its major role in the district. The thrifty monarch slashed the budget from £60 to £40. Locals wanted it built from wood but this was two years before the Spanish Armada threatened England. Every mighty oak tree was needed for ships – the Courthouse was constructed from cheaper local stone instead. The Molyneuxes – along with the Stanleys – owned Liverpool and much of Lancashire.
Later created Earls of Sefton, the Molyneuxes were also responsible for law and order and were successively constables of both West Derby and Liverpool Castles.They were made hereditary stewards of the courthouse after bowmen from the West Derby Hundred distinguished themselves at the Battkle of Agincourt. At the court they dealt with land and financial issues relating to their vast properties. They also sat in judgment on people accused of petty offences. The only punishments meted out were fines or up to six hours in the stocks. The court last sat in 1910 and is now Grade II*-listed. It was refurbished in 2005. • Visit the Courthouse between 2 pm and 4 pm every Sunday between April and October(not EasterSunday), admission free.

DYSLEXIA ACTION LIVERPOOL The Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Councillor Gary Millar, attended St Christopher’s C a t h o l i c Primary School in Speke recently to present awards to a group of pupils and staff. The group have been working on a specialist package known as P4L (Partnership for Literacy) to introduce new specialist

IMPROVING CROFT EARN JUST REWARD AT LAST by Mick Titherington
OLD XAVS 1 STONEYCROFT 2
There is a new sense of purpose surrounding Stoneycroft FC at the moment so it was with renewed confidence that they paid a visit to top three club, Old Xavs. With two players, Tom Mooney and Joseph Mogale, making their debuts, Shaun McCartney making his first appearance since returning to the club after a spell in Wales and Michael Henney playing only his second game there was a different look about the side
that started the game. From the kick-off you could sense a sharpness in the visitors approach and a crispness in their passing and it evident that this was going to be a competitive game. With the back three of Currie, McCartney and Henney looking competent and solid, Kirkpatrick and Flanagan comfortable on the ball in central midfield, ably assisted by the hard working Boakes and complemented by the workrate of Allen and Mooney on the
flanks, with the lively Mogale and the threatening Eddie Baker up front, there was an attractive balance to the side. Much of the play in the opening twenty minutes was concentrated in the middle of the park with few chances created by either side. Then on the twenty-five minute mark the home side took the lead with a headed goal. The Croft reaction was to take the game to Xavs and to up the tempo paid off when Kirkpatrick fired home with a peach of a free kick from
thirty yards sending the ball into the roof of the net ten minutes after going behind , to see the teams all square at the half way mark. Against the wind in the second half, the visitors continued to hold their own and gradually began to get the better of their opponents. So it proved when man of the match Eddie Baker’s persistence paid off after he seized on a mistake by the home keeper to slot home what proved to be the winning goal. After that Cromblehome, on as a sub for Mogale,
went close after a good run. Apart from needing to defend three corners one after the other in the last minute the Croft always looked like securing the points and send their supporters home euphoric. An added bonus was the welcome return of long term absentee, Jon Bowers, who came on as a late substitute for Mooney. Bowers has been plagued by injury lately and it was a delight to see him back in action. A fully-fit Bowers can only add to the quality of the squad.
ALDER FC - VETS SUCCESS by Peter Harrison
The highlight of t h i s m o n t h ’s games has seen the Veterans side defeat previously unbeaten league leaders Jawbone 3-1. With a thin squad, they travelled to Buckley Hill and recorded their win courtesy of two goals from Steve Stewart and a Mick Russell header. They also secured a victory against Shakespeare by the same scoreline and
the same goalscorers, and then drew 1-1 in the corresponding fixture with Mark Carney on target. The first team’s last hopes of silverware were dashed as they bowed out of the cup against Premier League high flyers We s t E v e r t o n Xaviers. A tight game saw a 2-0 defeat as Xaviers took their chances well. Disappointing league defeats to Copperas Hill and
Brnesc has left them mid-table (both 2-1with Timmy Naylor netting in both games). The second team, whilst still in the Roy Wade Cup, have lost ground in the League after a comprehensive 5-0 defeat to Walton Community and a 4-1 defeat to Cheshire Lines. Their cup game with Old Xavs in two weeks time now takes on added importance.

As South Liverpool FC approach the LCFA Challenge Cup Final against Cheshire League outfit Garswood United, they are on a fine run of form, unbeaten since the first day of March, scoring 26 goals in the ensuing seven games. A 7-1 win at a weakened Upton AA was their highest score with two goals for Carl Gargan, while there was also a 6-0 win at Blacon YC with hat-tricks for Cameron Dalton (who now has 32 goals for the season) and Alex Woodcock, and a 3-0 home win over local rivals Mossley Hill, with goals from Gary Pollard and Mike Thompson adding to an own goal. The only dropped points came at bottom club

Heswall where, despite a Cameron Dalton opener, Heswall levelled with a controversial penalty and South ended the game with nine men. The reserves look unlikely to get promotion from the 3rd Division of the West Cheshire League after consecutive home defeats to the top two clubs, Hale Reserves (1-0 to a penalty) and league champions Rainhill Town (5-1 with a goal from Francis Evans). There have also been two resounding wins, 7-2 against Marshalls Reserves, including another two goals from Evans and two from Chris Bramell, and 3-1 against Kirkby Town Railway with goals from Neil Hooson, Chris Bramell and Curtis Cummins. The youth team have reached the final of the West Cheshire League youth cup and will play champions-elect Bootle for the fifth time this season! An exciting 3-2 w i n o v e r Wi d n e s Vikings in the semi-final saw the team come back from 2-1 down with a dominant second half performance. South had taken the lead through the speedy Jamie Clair but Widnes had the edge by halftime. Two late headed goals by Alex Griffiths saw South through but they will have their work cut out in the final as Bootle have already in-
flicted three heavy def e a t s o n S o u t h ’s youngsters this season.
