SANTA AT SHILLIE’S by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society The corner shop was rather gloomy inside but sold lots of nice things, some displayed in a locked glass cabinet positioned so customers could see inside from all angles. There were two counters, one for such items as toys and novelties and the other the Post Office desk protected by wire grills. My grandmother Lillian Potter

had a set routine when she came to visit us once a week. She would attend the Townswomen’s Guild at Lowlands, visit Bessie Braddock MP in Zig Zag Road or call on friends in Mercer Place. In between she would pop into Shillington’s on Town Row to buy Post Office savings stamps. Each cost sixpence (2.5p) or a shilling (5p) and were adorned by photos of Prince Charles and Princess Anne. The stamps were stuck into a savings book which was handed over to me on my birthday in June and again at Christmas. They were exchanged for cash after being cancelled with a rubber stamp. Gran’s gesture taught me about saving. In 1958 it also introduced me to keeping a diary, something I have done on and off to the present day. I was in Shillie’s, as it was known to many, and spotted something very nice in the glass cabinet. It was a small 1959 diary

www.liverpoollink.co.uk MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
There are still a few weeks to go...but, as this is our festive issue, there’s nothing like getting your greeting in first. So, from all of us here at The LINK, we hope you and yours have the Happiest Christmas ever. We hope also that, while you are having a fantastic time, you will spare a thought for those who will find Christmas is not such a happy time...families who have lost a loved one in the past year, people who, for whatever reason, find themselves on their own and those people who may have health or money worries. For some, Christmas can be the loneliest and most painful time of the year, especially if it marks a first without someone special. If you know of someone, who may not be looking forward to Christmas for one reason or another, then why not do something special on
Dawn
their behalf: Invite them in for a drink, buy someone special a little gift, or, simply, make a friendly phone call to see if they are O.K. Isn’t that what the Christmas spirit is all about? We hope you and your family, readers and advertisers alike, have your best Christmas yet. We’ll be back in January to help you see in the New Year. If you want to see your message or advertisement in the January issue, then remember to supply your material by 6th December to meet our earlier holiday deadline.
A Big thank you to all our customers
With our very best wishes Moira and Dawn

ALDER FC VETERANS ON THE UP! by Peter Harrison
Pride of place this month goes to the Vets team who seemed to have turned the corner after a poor start to the season.
against Whiston Vets. Jim Smith takes the accolade with two consecutive braces, with Tony Wardle also contributing with two crucial single strikes.
An impressive 3-2 cup win against a strong Old Xaverians team who had previously only suffered one defeat was quickly followed by the first league points in a 4-3 victory
The first team have had mixed fortunes with an impressive 10-1 league victory against Liobians - John Hagan netting four times, a Timmy Naylor hat trick and singles from Anthony Wong, John Boardman, and Peter Jones. However, an early County Junior Cup exit to Prescot Leisure 4-3 has tainted the result.
LOCATE LILLY LINK AND WIN £10
Finally, mixed fortunes again; this time for the second team. A great 4-1 County Intermediate Cup victory against St Paul’s saw goals from Danny McNally , Terry Tynan, Shaun Davis and Mark Alward, but the team tasted defeat in a 3-0 league defeat to Manweb.
This month Lilly Link is hiding on a page in LINK. Locate Lilly Link and write to us telling us which page she is hiding on and win £10. Send your name, address and telephone number along with the page number to: Lilly Link Comp West Derby and Croxteth Park LINK P.O. Box 170, Liverpool L25 7WX
by 15th December The draw for the lucky winner will take place before the following month’s issue – so locate Lilly and you could win £10!

Health and Beauty Link NEW YEAR FITNESS by David Shelbourne The New Year fitness trap that snares most people is that a gym membership is the answer to all their prayers. Have a good think about why you feel you need to join a gym in the first place, and chances are you will realise that it is your overall lifestyle that needs to change. Instead of wasting money on a redundant gym membership, make the most of your local park and enjoy breathing in fresh air while you work out, rather than other people’s sweat. As long as you have the right strategy, getting fit at home is much easier than you think. Running on the spot, skipping, press ups, squats - the exercises are the same, you just don’t have to put up with overcrowding in the showers when you are done. Gym mem-
berships can cost as much as £1000 a year that is a lot of money for negligible results. So why shell out when all you need to get in shape is a pair of trainers and some running gear? After a few sessions you will soon begin to feel yourself getting fitter and will enjoy the mental health benefits. Research has shown that running can help fight depression and snooker player Ronnie O’Sullivan credits it with turning his life around. Most people know what they need to do to be healthier. Eating healthy and exercising often are not easy things to do though. Getting educated about the specifics of a healthy diet, getting the whole family involved, and setting goals, can help your family stay healthy and fit.

SANTA AT SHILLIE’S by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society continued from page 1 bound in brown leatherette with a pencil hidden in the spine. I bought it with my stamps and filled each day with notes. The maps at the back were a source of great interest and entertainment it was fascinating locating British colonies coloured red. On the far right of the picture is Tom Shillington who came from a well-known family of traders. He is wearing his trademark brown overall coat. It was taken on 16 December 1950 and the event was a visit by Santa Claus who has made sure there is snow on the ground.
A sign in the window proclaims: See Our Christmas Show Inside - no doubt Santa is taking a break from the grotto. Perhaps he left the reindeer and came in the black car – a boy stands cheekily on the running board. The large wall-mounted thermometer advertises fountain pen ink. Town Row Post Office was a much-loved amenity until 2004 when it was closed despite strong opposition.
