KNOTTY ASH SECRETS by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society The wedding reception was in full swing but I decided it would be more exciting to chase my two girl cousins around the kitchen. The screamed and yelled as we tore around the room which was otherwise deserted during a lull in proceedings.
I homed in on them and pounced – a deafening crash stopped us in our tracks as a big pile of plates came crashing down, smashing to smithereens. We were ordered back to our seats without any shouting or angry words – just a chilling stony silence. This photograph was taken ear-

lier beneath the ancient timbers of the lych gate at St John’s Church , Knotty Ash. That’s me, aged six, in my smart suit and dickey bow – more like a little adult than a page boy. The date was 28 March 1955 and it was the marriage of my aunt , Margaret Ellen Guy – known as Nell – to Cyril Cross. The happy couple knew each other as children and met up again after the deaths of their mothers in 1954. They were a lovely devoted couple and throughout the following years we paid countless visits to their immaculate semi-detached home in Thingwall Hall Drive. Uncle Cyril was rather camp with a penchant for bright yellow scarves. Marriage saw Auntie Nell blossom, adopting bright garish makeup and fashionable short Audrey Hepburn hairstyles. Uncle Cyril had a white collar job at nearby Plessey’s and the nearest he got to swearing was muttering “Crumbs!” He said it several times when I set off my indoor fireworks one
Bonfire Night. Uncle Cyril rolled his own and I popped in a white capsule when he lit up – a miniature snowstorm filled the room. Another pill turned into a writhing caterpillar on the polished table. Needless to say I was not encouraged to repeat the performances. Uncle Cyril had two sisters and the three were known as Boy, Girl and Baby. Their mum had been a child bride in Malta – her age when she married was always a closely-guarded secret. When Nell and Cyril married they were both aged 46. After they died we went through their papers and made a startling discovery. We were very surprised to discover they had given their ages as 38 which were duly recorded on the marriage certificate. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 18 January at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

www.liverpoollink.co.uk Hopefully, for some it will mean financial prosperity - for others it could mean a change in Dawn 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 - 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 with a new resolution. It may be a concerted effort to stop smoking, drinking or giving up one or another addiction. On the other hand it may be that you will personally resolve to be a better person, to help those less fortunate than yourself. You may simply want to make a determined effort to get into shape in the coming year, but don’t
worry help is at hand. There are plenty of L I N K traders, who are willing to help you with all sorts of New Year Moira changes. See inside - they may just be able to help with that New Year resolution and assist in changing the course of the next twelve months for you and your family. As 2012 dawns, all of us at the LINK would like to wish our readers and advertisers a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

TAKING A LIBERTY by Stephen Guy
The modern prison system dates from the 19th century and was a largely British invention – for centuries there were few gaols because capital and corporal punishment were the principal penalties. Up to about 1800 more than 200 crimes, from theft to murder, were punishable by death. People were executed in public until 1868 when the practice was banned because of the increasingly unruly crowds that gathered to watch. Throughout the ages imprisonment was not regarded as a punishment in itself but simply a way of holding offenders until they were dealt with. High-ranking people were imprisoned for political reasons – in the Tower of London for example – but the general population were handled swiftly. Examples of everyday justice included the stocks, pillory and ducking stool.

Sharp-tongued, abusive women sometimes had an iron cage called a scold’s bridle clamped over their heads before submitting to the public gaze. There were also debtors’ prisons where people were held in varying degrees of comfort until they paid back what they owed. The first modern prisons were in London where enlightened thinkers such as Jeremy Bentham propagated the idea that prisons should reform and rehabilitate as well as punish. This was a revolutionary concept at the time and is the theory behind prisons prevalent to this day. Victorian prison regimes were very different from those of today, although many gaols from that period are still in use including Liverpool’s Walton Prison. This was where one of the last executions took place in 1964 and before that prisoners experienced tough punishments including penal servitude where they undertook
hard, back-breaking work. The authorities also experimented with other ways of dealing with criminals including transporting them to colonies in the fast-growing British Empire. Wavertree Lock-Up (pictured) dates from 1796 and was not a prison – it was a place where drunks or violent trouble-makers were detained to cool off or await punishment. It was originally a simple structure, similar to the one that can also still be seen in Everton, until leading Wavertree resident Sir James Picton used his skills as an architect to gentrify the lock-up so it fitted into his picturesque vision for the area. Built on what is still common land, the lock-up also housed sick people and homeless migrants during its long history. • Learn more about the history of Liverpool at the new Museum of Liverpool, Pier Head, open 10 am to 5 pm every day, admission free.

ALDER FC XMAS PROMISE by Peter Harrison With a third of the season completed as we enter the Xmas break, there is still plenty to play for as all teams currently have chances of silverware. The first team are still in the chasing pack for the league and despite a disappointing defeat to Kingsley Utd, they bounced back with a solid 3-1 defeat of Warbreck with a goal from Timmy Naylor and a brace from Anthony Barnes. Sandwiched in between was a great 5-2 victory in the cup against higher league opposition Lucas, with Anthony Wong grabbing a hat-trick and Gary Tynan turning in a man of the match performance as stand-in goalkeeper following a head injury to keeper Jack Coulson. The second team have also progressed well in the cups with a 7-
4 victory over Formby Athletic in the Intermediate Cup -Jay Corro, Dean Welsh, Nutty, Danny Taylor (2) and Danny McNally (2) on the score sheet. However, league form has taken a dip with defeats to last years champions Old Xavs and AFC Tuebrook. The Vets’ good form continues with progress in the County Vets Cup courtesy of a 3-1 victory against MCL Vets - Kevin Haddo and a Tony Wardle brace on the score sheet. This followed a sound 6-0 victory over De La Salle with Tony Wardle (2), Steve Speers, Joe Burns (2) and Bernie on the goal trail. To round up the fixtures to the Xmas period a much needed league point was gained in an impressive 1-1 draw against high flying Halewood Town - Joe Burns grabbing the all important goal. Best wishes to all readers for a happy and peaceful break.

things off with their first Christmas party of the year complete with lots of healthy festive fare. Now they’ve thrown another party to mark the end of the challenge and celebrate their success. The West Derby slimmers have lost 204 stone between them since w/c October 3rd - a great cause for festive celebration! Marji, who runs the group, says: “Some people thought we were bonkers holding a

www.liverpoollink.co.uk CARPET TRADERS RAISE FUNDS FOR ZOE’S PLACE
Christmas came early for Zoe’s Place when they received a cheque for £3722.00 from The Carpet Traders Golf Society which is made up from local carpet traders and businessmen around the North West. Captain Ken Wheeler nominated Zoe’s Place as his chosen charity for this season having seen first-hand on a recent visit the splendid work they do with the children. Ken, accompanied by Tony Griffin (Chairman) and Ray Harvey (Head Fundraiser), popped in to present the cheque and they were overwhelmed

when they met the children at Zoe’s which in turn made the fundraising all the more worthwhile. Money was raised at the recent annual fundraising evening by way of raffles and auctions with gifts and donations coming from various local businesses. Once the businesses heard the money was to go to such a great cause they dug deep and the level of donations was amazing. A big thanks goes to all of them, including Rapid, Woodlands Spa, Jalons, The Gulshan, Amber, GCD Valeting, Universal Hair (Widnes), Sensualization,Lee Park Golf Club and Attitude Barbers.

2012 New Year’s Resolutions – Have You Made Yours Yet? It’s New Year’s resolution time again! Of course most of us will have broken them before the week’s out but, year after
year, we still keep making them. What is it about that 1st January deadline that makes us so dissatisfied that we vow to “re-invent” ourselves every year?

www.liverpoollink.co.uk Surprisingly (or perhaps not), the New Year celebration is one of the world’s oldest holidays, originating in ancient Babylon, where the New Year began with the first new moon after the Vernal Equinox. So New Year in Babylon was actually our “first day of Spring”. Welcoming in the time of new beginnings with an eleven-day celebration, the Babylonians made our modern celebrations look very tame by comparison but it seems that their legacy was a habit of making New Year resolutions – one of the most common being the custom of returning anything borrowed over the previous year. Not surprisingly, clearing debts remains a popular resolution some 4,000 years later. The Romans, of course, had their own twist on such customs – New Year’s Day became associated with the month of January, named after the god Janus, whose two faces enabled him to see the future as well as the past at the same time. The Romans exchanged gifts varying from sacred trees to nuts and coins, but they also made reso-
lutions – a popular one being to seek forgiveness from previous year’s enemies. Nothing new there, then! Chinese New Year is of course an important part of Liverpool’s cultural heritage and a favourite resolution for many is spring-cleaning, which is also a favourite worldwide. In 46 B.C. Julius Caesar established the Julian calendar, which gave us the traditional New Year date of January 1st. The early Christian church regarded New Year celebrations as paganism so, in fact, Western societies have only celebrated New Year for about 400 years, with health and fitness being amongst the top priorities for modern-day resolution makers. Every year, millions of us pledge to lose weight, stop smoking or join a gym. So, just like the Babylonians, we want to be debt-free; like the Romans, we want to have better relations with our families and colleagues; and, like the Chinese, we all want to “get our house in order”. Which just goes to show that human nature doesn’t change!
