WHAT’S INSIDE PROPERTY LINK ACUMEN ESTATES
by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
Winter weather made travelling along the road difficult and dangerous, particularly at night when light only came from the moon. The road started by the Pool and went through often wild and open countryside to
West Derby. Heavy snow sometimes obliterated and closed the highway. Four hundred years ago Christmas was celebrated by decorating homes with holly, ivy and mistletoe. Wealthy people had tables “spread with every edible” but most
people roasted a goose if they were lucky. The poor depended on charity from better-off neighbours. James I had ascended the English throne in 1603 when he had been King of Scotland for 36 years – his reign united the two countries.
HEALTH AND BEAUTY LINK SERVICES LINK The year was 1615 and those passing along the road to West Derby would have noticed a fine newly-built residence. Tuebrook House (pictured) was probably built by a prosperous yeoman farmer. It was constructed of brick when others were still being made from wood and clay (wattle and daub) around a timber frame. At the time, Tuebrook House was probably the only brick-built house between West Derby and Liverpool. The festive season would have seen performances of Shakespeare’s plays the playwright was nearing the end of his life (he died in 1616). Another form of entertainment among the upper classes was the masque, a dramatic entertainment consisting of dancing, dialogue
and song. Pantomimes evolved from elements of the masque. The church was the focal point of communities following the Reformation and religious upheavals of previous decades. Christmas Day was increasingly being shunned by growing numbers of Puritans – dissenters who disapproved of the established church. Their power was to grow as the 17th century progressed, culminating in Britain becoming a republic following the execution of Charles I after years of civil war. Deeply religious, the Puritans could be regarded as Christian fundamentalists – some disapproved of churches and particularly rituals and ceremonies. F o r a t i m e Christmas, along with
dancing and other entertainments, was effectively banned. However, people doubtless celebrated in private in a sparsely-populated land where it was relatively easy to keep things hidden from prying eyes. West Derby was a scattered community clustered around the village. The Molyneux

Welcome to the December edition of the LINK
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 also spare a thought for those who will find that Christmas is not such a happy time...families who have lost a loved one in the past year or 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 for them;
Moira Hesketh
invite them in for a drink, buy them a little gift, or simply make a friendly phone call to see if they are OK. Isn't that what the Christmas spirit is all about? To our readers and advertisers alike, we hope you and your families 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 please do remember to supply your material by 6th December in order to meet our earlier holiday deadline. A very big thank you to all our advertisers and readers,
With our very best seasonal wishes,
Moira and Dawn

Ken Dodd returns to Belle Vale 40 years on to unveil the new “Proud of My Roots” wall As part of Belle Va l e S h o p p i n g Centre’s 40th anniversary celebra-
School, Belle Vale Shopping Centre encouraged local shoppers throughout 2012 and 2013 to share their memories of the area’s vibrant history and the Centre has been searching for local memories to feature on the “Proud of My Roots” wall. These were then col-
lected and selected and the wall will become a permanent fixture at the Centre. The grand unveiling of the “Proud of My Roots” display took place at 2pm on Wednesday, 13 November and was performed by Ken Dodd, OBE, who was delighted to return to Belle Vale for this
prestigious event some 40 years after officially openi n g t h e Shopping Centre back in 1973. The event marked another turning point in the Centre’s history with the local community celebrating the fun and festivities of Belle Vale’s illustrious past.

ing through an ivy covered, arched doorway. The drone of bees and twittering of birds sent him into a reverie as he studied a timeworn tome from the family library. The Owles had been at the hall since the 1700s after making their fortunes in the port. Books, along with paintings and furniture, had been amassed over the centuries. It was a bright sunny afternoon when he first saw her. Christopher was examining a complex engraving when a movement caught his eye. He looked down the path and saw the white figure beyond the arched doorway. She watched him intently, her head slightly bowed. When he looked again, she was gone. Christopher thought he recognised something about the way she moved but dismissed the woman as a passing stranger. He quickly forgot her and resumed his reading. Later he discovered a large dusty book he had not seen before wedged at the
bottom of a bookcase. Christopher placed the volume by the window overlooking the garden. He carefully opened the age-spotted pages carrying the stale aroma of centuries. He was marvelling at a woodcut of an iron chest secured by huge locks when he was distracted. Something glided from behind the flowers – it was the woman in white again. He watched her for a couple of seconds then she was gone. The next time her saw her he was again on the bench. She was closer now and watching him intently. He noticed her smart bonnet and long dress. Her face revealed unutterable sorrow as she nervously wrung her hands. Christopher stood up and made towards her but she was gone. The next day was overcast and windy. It was not a time for venturing into the garden but he did. The woman was watching him closely from flowers buffeted by the breeze. This time she did not move as he came near.

He saw her questioning eyes burning into him, his every move watched and noted. “It is you, Alice,” he murmured as he recognised his lost, dead love. She did not respond but turned and walked slowly away, beckoning him to follow. The dusk was falling as he followed her out of the garden, over the stile and into the tree-lined footpath. Cawing rooks wheeled overhead as they entered the churchyard. Stopping at the entrance to the vault, she stood smiling, her face now serene. Christopher kissed her welcoming lips and held her slim form. She sighed, a mist formed and she disappeared into the dank tomb. It was their first and last kiss.

WORRYING TIMES AT THE CROFT AS DEFEATS MOUNT UP by Mick Titherington continued from page 24 business, will have, on hearing the result, raised concerns over the player resources he has at his disposal. Certainly he will need to apply all his motivational skills and tactical awareness if he is to turn around fortunes when they face the in-form unbeaten league leaders APH at Cheshire Lines in the next game. He will certainly be looking for a reaction from his players. There is no doubt that the lengthening injury list has had its effect with Jon Bowers, Sam K e r s h a w, M a r k Flanagan, Mick Gough, Matty Adamson and the non-availability of Mark Calland and others reducing the options but these things have to be
overcome in competitive football. Positives have been hard to take from these games but Kirkpatrick will be reassured by reports that his skipper, Paul Finnegan, has been absolutely outstanding and will wonder why others have failed to take inspiration from his Captain Courageous, whose never say die performances deserve the highest praise. Liam Currie and Jack Kelsall also deserve special mention. They say that when the going gets tough the tough get going and all who support the club will be hoping that the players will show their mettle, dig in and display their determination to bring back happier times to this long established club.
SOUTH FALTER IN TITLE CHASE by Jim Stanway Afootball season is a long one, with highs and lows along the way, and South Liverpool FC’s pursuit of their third successive league title has faltered a little. Their main rivals, Maghull, have now established a 10-point lead at the top although South do have three games in hand. Their last two league games, both at home, have yielded just two draws; a 2-2 draw with Va u x h a l l M o t o r s Reserves, with Vauxhall equalising in the dying moments after Gary Pollard and Adam Rood had twice put South ahead, and a 3-3 draw with Hale with South equalising 3 minutes into injurytime after throwing the kitchen sink at their opponents. Leading scorer Cameron Dalton scored the vital late equaliser, his second goal of the game and his 18th of the season to date, with substitute Alex Woodcock also
getting on the scoresheet with his first touch. South have experienced mixed fortunes in cup competitions; a 4-1 defeat at Vauxhall Motors Reserves meant this was the third season in succession in which the team have exited from the league cup competition at the first hurdle. A 5-2 home win against Lower Breck, with Cameron Dalton netting a hat-trick, has seen the team progress to the quarter-finals of the Liverpool Challenge Cup and South will now entertain West Everton Xaviers, the current Liverpool County Premier League champions, next month. The reserves had their best win of the season with a superb 4-1 win at league leaders Hale Reserves, inflicting a first league defeat of the season on them with four magnificent goals; one each from Curtis Cummins and James Fraser and two goals from Mike
Thompson on his return to the club for his third spell. The team has progressed to the quarterfinals of the LCFA Junior Cup after two big wins; 8-3 against Old Xaverians Reserves, with four goals from Mitchell McNally on his first start after a long-term injury, and 51 over Knowsley South, with a brace for Chris Bramell including a magnificent vol-
ley. The team also progressed to the league cup quarter-finals with a comprehensive 4-0 win over Neston Nomads. The youth team have been largely inactive of late, losing a 9-goal thriller to 10man Mallaby with two goals each for David Mee and George Doyle in the youth team’s only game of the month
South’s keeper Peter Webster takes a cross in the recent game at home to Vauxhall Motors (9 November) which was a 22 draw also pictured for South is cpatain Adam Roood (5) and facing is Cameron Dalton. The Vauxhall player to the left is their captain Luke Camden son of ex South and Tranmere player of the late 1980’s Chris Camden who was also at the game.

last month include a 32 victory against Liverpool Cavaliers, a 6-1 win against Wood Street and an unfortunate 4-3 defeat to l e a d e r s E s s e m a y. Amongst the goals have been Danny Graham who grabbed a hat trick against Essemay, with Phil King, Phil Mason and Guy Clifton netting in other games.
The first team have only suffered one league defeat all season, but their number of drawn games is proving to be their achilles heel. Despite g o a l s f r o m Te r r y Ty n a n a n d P a u l O’Hare they conceded a last minute goal against Copperas Hill to draw 2-2, and also recorded the same score against Bryon,
with an Antony Barnes brace registering for the Alder. A goalless draw against Lower Breck completed a hat trick of draws. The second team have had mixed results with a 4-4 draw against Warbreck, but despite a Michael Sutherland strike suffered a 3-1 defeat to Cheshire Lines. Finally, the Vets
look to be turning their season around after a heavy cup defeat to Aintree Villa. They drew 1-1 with Winchester and 3-3 against St Allys. Both games could have seen victory as goals were conceded in the last ten minutes of both games. Neil James, Jim Davis and Mark Carney have been amongst the goals.

It has been said before but the inability to retain the ball coupled with a distinct lack of confidence has led to series of below par performances and things are now reaching crisis point. On current form it is difficult to see the club hanging on to its coveted Premiership place and players and officials at the club have all got to pull together, take responsibility and act fast if anything is to be rescued from an up to now extremely disappointing season. No doubt new boss Ross Kirkpatrick, who missed the East Villa game as he was out of the country on continued on page 23
