Eliza lived in a big house overlooking the junction of two roads and rolling
countryside dotted with other mansions and villas. She and her husband Alderman Hugh
McCubbin lived in Mill Bank House, one of a number of houses between Queens Drive and Tuebrook.
Following the death of her brother Thomas Bowden, Eliza commemorated his life by building a stone drink-
ing fountain near her home in 1911. It is pictured around 1930 after it had been moved to make way
for road improvements. Newly-built houses on Mill Bank stand behind the fountain which once stood in open country. By this time Lark Hill Lane on the right had become Queens Drive – it had yet to be made into a dual carriageway. Hugh McCubbin settled in West Derby around 1871 after moving from Scotland. He first lived in Holly Grange in Town Row, later moving to The Elms which stood where Melwood Drive was built. As Hugh’s business interests prospered he moved into Mill Bank House where he remained for the rest of his life. (The family paid for another, almost identical, fountain at his birthplace in Girvan, Ayrshire.)

Eliza was his second wife – his first, Elizabeth, died in 1895. Eliza also donated the fountain at the junction of West Derby Road and Boaler Street in memory of her father Frederic. Mill Bank House was demolished many years ago and the site is now playing fields. Other vanished houses in this area included Barnfield, Summerfield, Beechwood and Vergmont. Barnfield was demolished to make way for the Jolly Miller pub and modifications to the Mill Lane – Queens Drive junction. Built in 1828 by lawyer Thomas Toulmin, it stood behind a sandstone wall and had a conservatory overlooking Mill Lane. Alater occupant was shipping merchant Charles Dixon. The site of Summerfield is now occupied by a church built in the 1960s. Beechwood – built where West Derby Mill once stood - was demolished in 1987. Vergmont ended its days as headquarters for the meals-onwheels service before being pulled down about 2000. The site remains overgrown and empty next to the new Bankfield Park.

The pretty girl sang as she danced around the garden, sometimes standing on one leg before skipping then crawling through the bushes. Mother watched from the French windows amused at the innocent antics of her youngest child. Bette Brice was just 11,
highly intelligent and brighter than her older brother and sister as well as school friends who regarded her with awe. Bette’s cherubic face was framed in blonde hair tied in plaits. When she smiled, which she did almost constantly, her rosy cheeks glowed. The family home was
built on a corner boasting a large garden with towering ancient trees. Grandfather was a former Royal Navy officer whose souvenirs decorated the greenery – here a giant clam that had once grabbed his foot, there a grotesque carved wooden Polynesian god revered by a mysterious tribe.
Inside the neat house walls were bedecked with exotic items gathered across the globe – a crocodile’s foot, Zulu shield, shrunken head and various lumps of coral. One day in the summer of 1933 Bette returned excitedly from school. Her best friend Monica had brought an amazing object into class – her mother’s life mask. The masks were the latest craze and it had recently been returned from the sculpture’s studio, destined for Monica’s drawing room wall. “I must have one!” exclaimed Bette with her usual assertiveness. Her birthday loomed so it was agreed she go to Mr Crow’s studio in Rodney Street where the mask would be made. Mother held her hand as the plaster of Paris was smeared gently over Bette’s face. Two drinking straws were inserted in her nostrils so she could breathe. Mr Crow told Bette to keep her face completely still while the plaster set. Once done, he created a mould resulting in a glazed ceramic mask complete with blue eyes painted over her closed lids. “It’s wonderful,” said Bette

wall. It replicated Bette’s face to perfection – its skin glowed and hair shone while the soulful eyes seemed alive. Bette was overjoyed but some of her friends were less impressed. “You’re all jealous,” said Bette.
Say you saw it in the LINK One morning mother was shocked to discover the mask had fallen off the wall - two vicious cracks disfigured the once-perfect face. Mother steeled herself and went straight to Bette’s room, nervously approaching the figure hid-
den under the sheets. She gently shook Bette’s shoulder. At first there was no response then Bette’s head emerged slowly, dishevelled blonde hair falling back to reveal her face. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Bette asked as her
5 mother stared in horror. Bette scrambled over to the mirror and screamed at the thing gazing back at her. • Read my next Strange Tale – March of the Tree Beings – in the September Link.

beneficial day in memory of their loved one. Larissa raised sponsorship online on her Just Giving page as well as receiving cash donations from her family and friends. Larissa told The LINK: “The emphasis on the day was and still is to raise constant awareness for this terrible disease that may well affect most people in some way throughout their lives, whether it’s through a family member, friend or neighbour. If we all pull together and dig deep we can all help Breast Cancer Care and if you want
to get involved with the charity there are walks, runs, overseas adventures and more all on offer with the full support and regular contact with the charity”. “This was actually my second skydive as I also did another Tandem Skydive at Lancaster when I was 18 in aid of Zoe’s Place Hospice. You too can do something moving, adventurous and exhilarating and what better cause than doing it for a charity close to your heart”.

Hopefully we will be in for a nice, hot summer. Make sure you are hydrated and drinking plenty of water. Being hydrated will help curb your appetite.
3. Portion control
West Derby Carpets & Blinds
A general rule of thumb is that each meal should consist of protein and carbohydrates, with a protein portion being the size of your palm and a carbohydrate portion being the size of your fist. Also, try and add some vegetables or salad, as they contain nutrients your body needs. Your fat intake can be met by white meats, fish, dairy products and nuts and red meats are higher in saturated fat.
4. Little and often 10
minutes of exer-
cise each day can be enough to take you towards your goal, depending on what it is
5. Have a ball Haha, and I just don’t mean going out and partying! Having a football, tennis ball, or cricket ball can help you move more and create enjoyment Congratulations to Phil Walsh who has lost just under 2 stone in the past 12 weeks.

Jones said: “It’s great that this year’s winner is from a local school. Much Woolton raised a fantastic £320 from their Mini Pot appeal this year, and thousands more children raised vital funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care by growing the

Painting their pots was great fun too, and all the time we were raising funds for Marie Curie which is such a fantastic cause.” We’re thrilled that Ruby won this year’s paint your Mini Pot competition, and hope to take part in the appeal again next year. I would definitely recommend it to other schools!” Now in its ninth year, Mini Pots of Care is a creative and educational project for schools and groups, teaching children about science, nature and the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care. Last year over 3,200 Schools, nurseries and organisations took part in the appeal which invites children aged between 3 and 11 to plant and grow beautiful yellow daffodils and fundraise for the charity. The children receive a free kit including daffodil bulbs to plant in the autumn and care for throughout the winter months, reflecting the work of Marie Curie Nurses, and the charities Liverpool Hospice, which provide free care to patients with terminal illnesses. In the spring, children celebrate their daffodils in bloom by holding a Mini Pots of Care Fundraising Day when they have fun painting their pots, holding fundraising activities and learning

458 QUEENS DRIVE, STONEYCROFT, LIVERPOOL L13 0AS
Stoneycroft FC players returned f o r p re - s e a s o n training recently and were put through theirpaces by trainer Mick Russell and manager John Leary.
A good session was held with players coping with the heat admirably. It is often said that you know when the football season is about to begin because the sun comes out. Conversely it always appears to rain at the
beginning of the cricket season. With the Lions’test victory and A n d y M u r r a y ’s achievement to ponder all we need now is for us win the Ashes and for England to win the World Cup - or am I getting ahead of myself! Coming back to reality, the ‘Croft are delighted to have Sam Kershaw back after a season long absence. Sam had a terrific promotion winning season in the campaign before last, emerging as one of the club’s most consistent performers. He is a great lad and has a tremendous future and will certainly bring an additional dimension to
the team. Mick Williams, Paul Carruthers and John Bowers all reported back having recovered from injuries with Mark Calland hopeful of joining them in training in the near future. Most of the current squad have declared their intention to remain with the club and are anxious to put last season’s tribulations behind them. Pre-season fixtures are being finalised and will include the annual fixture against Airbus in the Bryan Jones Memorial Cup. Bryan was a stalwart for the club and is remembered with affection and the Cup is recognition of this with
Airbus the perfect hosts. South Liverpool and Old Holts will be amongst other match opponents in the build up towards August 17th when the season kicks off. The league fixtures will not be known until August 8th but Stoneycroft will be looking for a brighter start this time round and with the new additions to the squad there is justification in being hopeful. With well-prepared planning in operation, everything is being done to ensure that, come the first game, the side will be ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead.
SOUTH PREPARE FOR NEW SEASON by Jim Stanway With South Liverpool FC qualifying for the annual West Cheshire League tournament, the Bill Weight Trophy, the first team are starting their pre-season schedule early. The semi-final against first division champions Heswall will be held on Monday 5 August at Heswall’s Gayton Park home and will be a great curtain-raiser for South’s debut in the top division. If they are successful in the semifinal South will then play either West Kirby or Redgate Rovers in the final on Saturday 10 August at West Kirby’s Marine Park. South open their pre-season itinerary with a home game on Saturday 20 July (2.30pm) against Cheshire League out-
fit Billinge and the following Tuesday entertain Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup holders South Sefton Borough (6.30pm). On Saturday 27 July South are again at home, this time to West Lancs League side Fleetwood Hesketh (2.30pm)
and the following Tuesday (30 July) the team travels to North West Counties League (2nd Division) side Daisy Hill at their New Sirs ground (7.30pm). Then, on Saturday 3 August (2.30pm) South are at home to Liverpool County
Premier League side Stoneycroft. After the Bill Weight Trophy games, the league season starts on Wednesday 14 August although the fixture list has not continued on page 23
