HOUSE OF SECRETS by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society Some people regarded the wealthy man as a murderer and the old house his family abandoned a monument to his cruelty. Bellefield on Sandforth Road was the home of the notorious shipowner Sir Edward Bates, known as Bully Bates because of his domineering character. He was one of the infamous Coffin Ship owners unmasked by shipping reformer Samuel Plimsoll.
Bates was among unscrupulous proprietors who sent old, overloaded ships to almost certain doom then put in inflated insurance claims when they sank. In 1874 three of his ships – the Tethys, Melbourne and Nora Graeme – went down with the loss of 87 lives. Plimsoll named Bates in the House of Commons but the shipowner denied the allegations. Plimsoll fought a long, hard

battle to outlaw the Coffin Ships, resulting in the famous Plimsoll Line marked on ships’ hulls to show they are not overloaded. The law still applies today. Bellefield, built about 1820, was bought by Yorkshireman Bates in 1871 as his Liverpool home at the height of the Coffin Ships scandal. Who knows what secret plans were hatched under its roof? Bates also got up the noses of local people over a new carriage drive to his house leading through a gate into private Sandfield Park. However, he did not tell the park authorities about his plans. Bates was informed that if he used the gates he must pay charges to help with the upkeep of the park’s roads. He refused and the drive and gates, which had cost a great deal of money, were not used. The Cheshire Lines railway was cut through the park and this is thought to be one reason the Bates family abandoned the house in 1886. They did not sell it and the property stood empty for more than 40 years. It is pictured about 1924 with broken win-
dows and missing slates. By this time the owner was Bully Bates’ great-grandson, Sir Percy Bates of Cunard – it was used as a sports club for employees. Bellefield was pulled down in the early 1930s for housing. Some of the land was used as Everton’s training ground for many years before being sold
for development. All that remains are the gates into Sandfield Park, blocked by railings and a large tree. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 20 February at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

Trekkers raise over £90,000 for local hospice Twenty Seven trekkers from across Merseyside recently completed a tough five day trek through Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest as part of ‘Team Liverpool’, raising an amazing £90,000 so far for the Marie Curie Hospice, Liverpool.
Fundraiser Antony Jones said: “We had trekkers ranging from age19 to 71 taking part, it was fantastic to see so many people taking part, especially as many were walking in memory of loved ones. The trek exceeded all expectations, both in terms of the amount raised for our hospice, and the fantastic experience had by all. Everyone took memories away with them that will live forever. We really can’t thank the trekkers enough for raising such an amazing amount for our hospice.” Fundraisers are now looking for people to take part in the next Hospice Trek. Antony said: “Our next hospice trek will see participants take on the highest mountain in Africa as they scale the summit of the majestic Mount
Kilimanjaro in June 2014.” To receive a brochure for the Kilimanjaro Trek, please call 0151 801 1412, or register online at www.mariecurie.org.uk/trekforliverpool Money raised from the trek will be used to support the Marie Curie Hospice Liverpool which provides specialist medical and nursing care, with the expert help of multi-disciplined healthcare professionals, to 1,150 patients suffering with cancer and other terminal illnesses each year. Marie Curie Cancer Care
focuses on providing the best possible quality of life for people with cancer and all services are provided free of charge to patients and their families.

Now, the Oliver King Foundation, set up by Oliver’s parents, is working towards getting defibrillators in all sports centres and schools in Liverpool by 2017. The foundation has three main goals; to train appropriate staff in the use of defibrillators, to introduce a screening programme for people aged between 12 and 15, and to try and raise awareness of SADS. L i v e r p o o l Football Club, as well as club legend Kenny Dalglish, support the campaign along with celebrities like Amanda Holden, Dame Helen Mirren and Stephen Fry, amongst others. Sefton RUFC, from West Derby, has now shown their support for the campaign, becoming the first rugby club in Liverpool to receive a defibrillator. In December 2012, twelve coaches and committee members at the club received training to use the defibrillators safely and properly. Alan Coleman, club president and youth coordinator said “Sefton Rugby Club is proud to support the Oliver King Foundation and also ensure that we make our rugby club as safe as possible for the many children who train and play for us on a weekly basis”.

Three sisters were accompanying their father on a regular visit to the Walker Art Gallery. The girls were smartly turned out but none were remotely carefree, relaxed or in high
spirits. Nothing they looked at could dispel the permanent scowls on their faces. Their father, Alan Crabbie, was something of a dandy with his yellow gloves, silver-topped cane and expensive crocodile shoes. A quizzical smile betrayed a questioning intellect and constant curiosity. After passing various Roman and Greek gods they stopped at The Three Graces depicting three beautiful, naked women. “These are the Three Graces known for their elegance, poise and decorum but you Daisy, Ivy and Rose are The Three Disgraces,” Alan joked. His quip was met with glaring grimaces. This had invariably been the case – no matter how much he tried he could not change them. It was 1910 and Alan had striven hard to be a good father after the death of their mother years before. His sister had moved in to help out and other relatives lent a hand with varying results. Even when they were little Daisy, Ivy and Rose were most unusual children. When they were together, their solemn faces always ensured they stood out in a crowd. They were not particularly spiteful or illtempered but they did not have the good grace to be pleasant. “I don’t like smiling!” snapped Ivy after her aunt chided her for being particularly miserable. “It hurts my face,” chipped in Daisy, while Rose declared: “I find smiling offensive.” Alan had made a lot of money in business which enabled him to retire early. He then embarked on a new enterprise, perhaps as a reaction to his family circumstances. Influenced by Eastern philosophies, he set up the Institute of Perpetual Joy in Smithdown Road. He made sure his daughters kept in the background. Alan strove to bring mystic enlightenment

his efforts. It was a misty, autumn day and the three girls decided to take the train to Crosby to see their cousins. Their relatives were not in, however, so the sisters decided to explore the beach as the haze lifted and the sun broke through. As they walked over the sands, a cold mist suddenly drifted in from the river. Then, without warning, they found themselves up to their knees in quicksand. The more they struggled, the worse it became. They shouted but their voices were deadened by the mist. They heard the swishing of robes and suddenly a silent, turbaned figure towered over them.

sticks and blankets are just some of the essential items included in the packs which will go some way in helping groups such as older people, those at risk of fuel poverty, people receiving domiciliary care and people who have recently been affected by illness or unemployment.

Don’t make it obvious that you are copying them. Match and mirror as much as you can - body language, hand, arm, leg, foot positions, head position tilted to the side, voice, tone, speed, volume etc. When you have the rapport then you use Visual, Kinesthetic or Auditory language. This exercise can be used for many things and everyone can benefit from it, for example salespeople, doctors, customer service, potential dates etc. You might be able to recall that my last article was about setting goals. There is always someone out there who can take you to your goal faster. They may know people or may have been in a similar situation. Before they do anything to help you, you must first have some kind of rapport with them. Use the tips that I have mentioned here.

BOXERCISE/JU JITSU/ BOXERCISE Boxercise is a workout using all the elements from boxing, i.e. circuit training, pad work, shadow boxing, aerobics, stomach work and core work, etc. You can burn up to 20 calories a minute and tone up every muscle group in the body. Beginners are welcome and they will work with myself before progressing onto more advanced movements. JU JITSU From my experience, Ju Jitsu is a cross between every other martial art as it contains moves from Judo, Karate, Kung Fu etc. From a selfdefence point of view, it ticks
all the boxes. Participants are taught blocking and striking techniques as well as ground work, throwing and locking techniques. Beginners are more than welcome.

CROFT IN THE DRIVING SEAT AS FORDS ARE OVERRUN by Mick Titherington STONEYCROFT 5 FORD MOTORS 0 After last week’s result Croft supporters were anxious to see if form shown against Red Rum would continue into today’s home fixture against Ford Motors and it was a relief for them to see a bright start from the home side when a smart move resulted in Peers breaking clear of the Ford defence only to shoot wide. After the initial start things got a little sloppy with misplaced passes from both sides but on the 15th minute mark the game burst into life with the lethal duo of Foy and Peers once again combining for Peers to nip in before the advancing Ford keeper to steer a pinpoint cross from Foy into the net. Ford responded with determination and went close on a couple of occasions, one in particular took a perfectly timed tackle from Finnegan to deny the Ford attacker a shot when he had broken through the Croft defence. Then Flanagan squandered a good opportunity when he skyed the ball over the bar. Fords believed they were still in the game and posed occasional threats but in the main they were kept under control by a focused Stoneycroft side who were showing a renewed confidence following the Christmas/New Year break. Towards the end of the first half there was a flare-up involving a number of players following an over-enthusiastic late tackle by a Ford player on Finnegan which resulted in four bookings. The score remained 1-0 at half time. Williams replaced Dowd during the break and then within two minutes into the restart the ‘Croft had doubled their lead with old onetwo combination of Foy and Peers doing the thing they do best with Peers once again finishing off another slick move. Soon after, Foy went solo when he scored direct from a corner to make it three. With the home side well in control Peers sealed a perfect performance when he completed his hat-trick with twenty minutes to go. McGann, who had come on for Baker and had gone close on a number of occasions, added a fifth with a clinical finish to send the Croft supporters home happy and satisfied. STONEYCROFT: Donohue, Moss, Currie, Finnegan, Dowd (Williams), Kinney (Beckett), Carruthers, Flanagan, Foy, Peers, Baker (McGann). MAN OF THE MATCH: Carl Peers.
CROFT TURN ON THE STYLE IN CUP TRIUMPH by Mick Titherington RED RUM 0 STONEYCROFT 4 A scintillating performance from the Maiden Lane outfit saw them cruise through against League leaders, Red Rum, in this I-Zingari Premier Division Cup tie. In a start reminiscent of those often seen in the promotion winning season, with crisp accurate interchanges of passing, a pinpoint cross from the classy Franny Foy was met by the equally gifted Carl Peers, making his first appearance for the club this season, to head his team in
front after five minutes. For the rest of the half the Croft continued to impress and delight with some superb exciting football. One particular move involved six players in a breathtaking exhibition of one-touch football at speed, creating intricate patterns across the pitch and moving the ball from deep inside their own half and ending with Peers going close again. Although the Croft threatened much the score remained unchanged going into the break. The restart saw a fantastic move started by Liam Currie at centre back and involving a sweet exchange of
passes between Baker and Peers the product of which was a cross to the far post where it was met by Mike Kinney to smash into the net with a magnificent volley. The Croft, with their tails up, continued to press and Peers was only denied a second by an excellent recovering tackle by a Red Rum defender after he had found himself through with only the goalkeeper to beat. But with 22 minutes gone in the second half and following a short corner, Paul Carruthers found himself in the box to head home to make it three. Kev Moss finished off the scoring with a fine individual goal
with six minutes remaining to finish off a really polished performance and take his team into the next round. All of the Stoneycroft players turned in competent performances and some were absolutely outstanding. Mark Flanagan, in the central midfield role, controlled play with his excellent ball control and accurate passing to earn the man of the match award. Other high performers were Liam Currie and Paul Finnegan in central defence playing a major part in keeping a clean sheet. There is no doubt that the extremely talented Carl Peers will be a big boost and is likely to cause
opponents nightmares. With Franny Foy and Mike Kinney showing their class and Eddie Baker making steady progress as he returns to fitness, and with Paul Carruthers, Kev Moss, Steve Dowd, Simon Baker and goalkeeper Carl Donohue all turning in creditable displays, the day was one to saviour for the club and its supporters. STONEYCROFT: Carl Donohue, Kev Moss, Steve Dowd, Liam Currie, Paul Finnegan, Eddie Baker, Paul Carruthers, Mark Flanagan, Franny Foy, Carl Peers, Mike Kinney. Subs; Simon Baker, John Leary.

ALDER FC - SPOTLIGHT ON SUNDAYS by Peter Harrison With the recent poor weather and the Xmas break, the spotlight this month is on the Sunday teams who play at Alder Sports Club. Recent articles have suggested that amateur football on Merseyside may be in decline, but I have recently watched two great FA Sunday National Cup games that have attracted healthy crowds of over 300 people. First up in the prestigious competition are Alder FC who play in the Business Houses League: in a tough third round game they faced opposition from Sunderland in the shape of Humbledon Plains Farm. Alder, having taken a deserved lead via an own goal, found the opposition battle back to a 2-1 margin and

take their game against the Allerton into extra time. Despite Allerton also having a man sent off, their extra man made a difference in a pulsating
game as Allerton ran out 5-3 winners despite gallant efforts from Joey Gibb and goalkeeper Ste Longy’s last minute push up front for a corner.

looked to have secured a place in the next round. However, a late equaliser took the game into extra time, and the Alder powered home to a 52 victory with Liam Caddick completing a hat trick and Phil Wilson adding to the score sheet. Man of the match went to Scott Atcho for his performance at the back but a great team performance sets up a last sixteen tie against local rivals Oyster on the 20th January at a venue yet to be decided. There are now four teams from Liverpool left in the late stages of this competition. Alder Sunday Vets are sitting nicely at the top of their division in the Cheshire Vets League. Having won all games so far in all competitions including the Umbro 45’s Cup which they hope to retain. Manager Johnny Turner is hoping to build on last year’s exploits and shouldn’t have any problem with Phil Farely and John Garrity banging goals in regularly. Also putting in great performances are the Boyd brothers, Charlie and John, Tom Doherty and holding it together at the back the legend Kev Walsh. Final acknowledgements go to Alder club based Nicosia and Home & Bargain who have unfortunately exited the National cup.
