strength and following the launch of the South Liverpool Link in August 2007, The Liverpool LINK now has a total monthly distribution of 39,000. If someone had told us that eight years ago we’d have said it was way beyond our wildest dreams and expectations! As it is, we have firmly established ourselves as a favourite independent local advertising publication. We remain a totally independent business and are the first to recognise that the
success of The Link is entirely down to you - our readers and our advertisers. So we say a very big thank you to you all for your constant support and loyalty over the last eight years and for the trust and confidence you have placed in us. We also thank you, our readers, for the way in which you have supported our advertisers. The old adage that if you stand still in business then you end up going backwards is especially true these days

relatively quickly. Liverpool did not exist in Roman times although there is evidence of settlements a few miles inland. When the Romans left Britain around 410 AD, a period once known as the Dark Ages descended on the country because little was understood about the era. More has now been discovered - recent archaeological finds indicate strong artistic and cultural developments. Until King John effectively founded Liverpool in 1207 as a port for troops travelling to Ireland, very few people
lived in the area. According to the Doomsday Book compiled on the orders of William the Conqueror, the only settlement near the River Mersey was a farm called Esmedune. There is no mention of Liverpool, a name which probably only evolved when the port was granted its charter. A track led to Smedune, as the farm’s name became and this in turn was corrupted into Smithdown. The farm track became Smithdown Lane, arguably the oldest thoroughfare in Liverpool. Until the early 1700s there were no roads leading out of Liverpool, just paths and by-
ways. The only way you could get around was on foot, by horse or by sea. Roads were unsurfaced, making them quagmires in wet weather and hard-baked dust tracks in summer. A cattle drovers’ path ran from Low Hill to Knowsley and is mentioned as early as 1568. Asection of this unique historic path still runs between the rugby club and West Derby golf course. Sadly, it is now gated and overgrown following allegations of crime and anti-social behaviour but remains an ancient public right of way. Modern roads evolved to meet the needs of growing
populations. Horse-drawn wagons had to be able to get up hills, resulting in meandering roads and lanes. An example is Old Thomas Lane, Knotty Ash (pictured, on front) which once zigzagged uphill. The road was straightened out about 1930 but this old section remains by the station. Another example is Old Mill Lane in Wavertree created after the road was straightened.

Return to the City of the Giants by Ian Wignell
electrical items
WANTED!
From July 2327th, Liverpool will see the jubilant return of the little giant girl and hertrusty pet dog Xolo. The event will commemorate Memories of August, a hundred years since the start of the First World War. The giants were last seen here in Liverpool in 2012 as part of the Sea Odyssey story, which was hailed as a spectacular event by all who had the pleasure of seeing them around various parts of our beautiful city of Liverpool. Street theatre company Royal de Luxe, in partnership with Liverpool City Council, will be at the helm of putting on what will undoubtedly be a fascinating
commemorative spectacle. This year Newsham Park will play host to the little giant girl and Xolo, Firstly they are to arrive at Clarence Dock and will then make the journey up to the park. Unfortunately this time the giant uncle won’t be making an appearance, perhaps this time he’s decided to rest his giant feet at home! We will however have the pleasure of seeing the giant grandma for the first time. No doubt she’ll be arriving to keep a watchful eye out for the girl and Xolo the dog and she will search the city for them. I suppose you could say the grandma put the Nan in Nantes, which is where all the giants hail from. The giants are to their hometown of Nantes (in
France) what The Beatles are to Liverpool. The giant grandma is set to be sleeping in St Georges Hall before waking up to explore this beautiful city looking for her granddaughter and her trusted dog. So be sure not to miss this wonderful event. I’m sure the three giants are going to be far too big to miss.

The Graphic was their local palace of dreams. Many people trooped into the cosy cinema but few knew the joy experienced by Doris. She and best friend
The new talkies had transformed the cinema experience. The silent films, accompanied by a tinkling piano, now seemed a lifetime away. The Graphic was filled with the booming voices of stars who
were projected in monochrome splendour on to the big screen. Doris and May experienced a tingling thrill as the curtain swished back for the first film. They watched enthralled, lapping up every detail of the plot. The first film – or B picture – was often a drama or romance with little-known actors.
The tension mounted during the interval when usherettes stationed themselves in front of the screen selling ice creams and popcorn. Lights dimmed, there were trailers for the next attractions plus adverts and a newsreel. It was then time for the main feature. Doris adored some of the stars while fear-

A vibrant, unbelievable city Basked in its own unique style The Liver Birds perched On top of their architectural heaven Protecting the city from evil spirits And a Church which still partially stands After a Nazi blitz of pounding bombs Where the bands still play their music And people sit drunk on the mighty steps Waiting for people or maybe the bus The friendliest people on the planet Funny, amazingly witty and honest They can never can do too much to help A city divided by two primary colours One of red and the other of blue It’s a football religion at its zenith Everyone thinks their team is the best And everyone has something To get off their honest scouse chest It’s not like they betray us in the media Stereotyping us into decline Their letters so big and bold At the end of the day we’re Scousers With a heart of 24 carat gold!

ing and admiring others. It was 1935 and she was particularly drawn to Clark Gable and Douglas Fairbanks Jnr among the Americans. However, Brits such as Leslie Howard and Cary Grant swept her off her feet. She had a soft spot for classical actor Leslie Banks from nearby Stoneycroft. One night the friends sat feeling bored in the middle of a turgid B picture. Doris’s eyes followed the flickering beam as it bounced and trembled from high up in the projectionist’s room. She craned her head around and, narrowing her eyes, saw a man peering out
next to the projector. Doris could only see his profile but it made her catch her breath – he was as handsome as any of the film stars. She had to see more and made the excuse of going to the loo. Walking slowly up the aisle to get nearer the projection room, she got a good view of the handsome man and fell back against the wall, her arms held high with excitement. Doris quickly pulled herself together, grateful noone could see her in the darkened auditorium. She watched the man, her adoring eyes taking in every detail of his silhouette.

In the cramped projection room they were greeted by an elderly, bald, bad-tempered man who chased them down the stairs. As he passed a window, Doris noticed that

As well as off-theshelf items, various vehicle-related services are now available, including scratch repairs, annual services, bulb and wiper blade fitting to name just a few. Being a local lad, owner Steven remembers the shops known locally as “The Strand” being a vibrant and busy thoroughfare. Steven told The LINK: “In recent times the
area has seen its fair share of decline but I am really optimistic for the future. There are a lot of good people in the area and there is an air of renewed confidence and activity about the place which is just what is needed to attract new investment”. Steven has kept the original name of the store which some of our older readers will no doubt remember. Having 20 years’ experience in car body repair, Steven has built up an extensive clientele and tells us that customers come back because they know they can rely on a good job being done at a fair price. Citiparts is looking forward to the future and to helping its customers stay on the road.

MATRIX CELEBRATE TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Matrix Salon first opened their doors ten years ago. Initially based in Tuebrook, they soon moved on to more suitable premises at their current location in Eaton Road, West Derby.
Manager Tatum, who has just returned from maternity leave, told The LINK: “Our decision to relocate proved to be a great move for us and we’ve never looked back. Here at Matrix, we take a very professional and personal approach to hairdressing, meeting clients’ needs and building a good personal relationship with them which is why so many of our clients have been with us for so long. Most of the team have been with us since we opened in West Derby over five years ago. All are highly-skilled in all aspects of their profession, giving high quality service to all our clients at really competitive prices”. Although highly skilled in her field she and her staff regularly attend courses to keep up to date with all the latest techniques. Tatum told us: “I started my hairdressing career at Mode Training 16 years ago then went to work at Bobbers in West Derby. I love my job as it’s such a great feeling making people feel good about themselves. Our clients have supported us constantly over the years and I would like to take

Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa
Ditch the dentures to fix your smile WOULDN ’T it be fantastic to never have to worry about a denture moving or slipping ever again?Having the confidence to choose anything off the menu
and being able to laugh, sing and speak in public without that subconscious fear that your denture will let you down at the worst possible moment?
PASSION:Dr Marius McGovern,clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa
Dr Marius McGovern, clinical director at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa,is passionate about ending denture suffering by using implants to provide sameday teeth. He said: “Having missing teeth can have a social and functional impact,but here at Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa we aim to address this for our patients by providing same day fixed teeth. “Many people are now aware that dental implants can replace single missing teeth in a highly successful, attractive and long lasting way. However, the advancement in dental implant techniques allows replacement of all missing teeth and full dentures with All-on-4 in a single day!” The All-on-4 system is sim-
ilar to many other dental implant systems; the main difference is that only four implants are required, cutting down the amount of surgery needed to fit them and the number of screws to hold the teeth in place.The All-on-4 system provides a secure base for a full arch of lower or upper teeth. Dr McGovern continued: “With dental implants the roots of your missing teeth are replaced with the highly specialised titanium cylinder which actually integrates with your bone and becomes a part of you! “The pressure of biting on food is
transferred through the implant into your jaw just like with your own teeth. Multiple implants are placed to distribute the biting force and allow almost natural function. “At Liverpool Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa our highly experienced team of dental surgeons are delighted to offer you a comprehensive consultation to discuss your dental issues and develop a customised treatment plan just for you. “The team are so excited about this rapidly evolving field of advanced dentistry and see dental implants as a way to change
people ’s lives for the better!” •For more details call 0151 236 8280,visit www.liverpool implants.co.uk,or drop into Liverpool Implant & Aesthetic Dental Spa at Brunswick Street,Liverpool, L2 0PJ.

Back in 2010 Halifax Estate Agents in Allerton changed their trading name to Your Move Matthews and became
“We may have changed our name, but our commitment to providing the best possible service to all our local landlords, buyers and sellers remained the same” That’s the message from John O’Gorman FNAEA, MARLA, Director of YOUR MOVE Matthews formally Halifax Estate Agents, on Allerton Road: “Following more than 30 successful years on Allerton Road, our friendly and dedicated team, with
over 100 years’ worth of combined local estate & letting agency experience, became part of the largest single branded estate agency and the biggest letting agency business in the UK”.

With Your Move being the biggest letting agent in the UK we can offer an excellent range of services combining dedicated professionalism and excellent products, including rent indemnity insurance and the ability to advertise
landlords properties within minutes to offer an unrivalled service to customers who want to step back from the day-to-day management of their property, or a let-only service for the more experienced landlord”. “Here at YOUR MOVE Matthews we always offer customers a friendly, professional and efficient service with our unique blend of technology and people power, providing you with an unbeatable selling partner”.

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL?
EXCLUSIVE SMILE OFFER

HOME TEETH WHITENING NOW £199
able at the distortion of values it illustrates. Yet while the game at the top level enjoys the investment of billions of pounds, grassroots football in England is in crisis. Some reports claim that 2,000 players at grassroots level have been lost to the game during the course of the 2013-14 season with many clubs at that level giving up the fight for survival and folding. Football at amateur
level has been in decline for a number of years; the Liverpool Sunday League once boasted to be the biggest league in the world with 26+ divisions and can only now muster a tenth of that number. Once famous leagues have gone for ever, for example the I-Zingari League merging with the L i v e r p o o l Combination to form the Liverpool County Premier League. This season the top league in a city regarded as a
hotbed of football has seen at least two sides go to the wall and others struggling. Why is this? A variety of reasons have been put forward. There is so much more to do now than in the past and the younger generation lack the collective commitment to team sports, it has been said. The lack of good quality facilities together with escalating costs have also been offered as contributory factors. Violence and abuse
are said to have increased and led to dissuading people to participate in the sport. All these theories have more than an element of truth to them but the fact is it is probably a combination of all these factors that have fuelled the decline. Clearly television and the growing domination of the Barclays Premier League with the growth of commercialisation in the game has left the contention that it is ‘the peoples game’ far be-
DALTON SWEEPS THE BOARD by Jim Stanway
South Liverpool FC’s centre forward Cameron Dalton, who scored 37 goals in a highly productive season (South’s first season in the West Cheshire League 1st Division) swept the board at the club’s presentation evening on 31 May, winning all
three awards available to him. As the first team’s leading scorer, Dalton also won the Players Player of the Season and the Supporters Player of the Season awards. The reserve team’s leading scorer was Curtis Cummins whose 35 goals was a very impressive total while left back James Welsh won the Players
Player of the Season and midfielder and captain Neil Roach won the Manager’s Player of the Season award. The youth team’s leading scorer was David Mee with 12 goals while midfielder Jordan McGowan was the Players Player of the Season and def e n d e r Vi t a Mbolokele won the Manager’s Player of
the Season award. The ladies’ leading scorer was Claire Piercy, with a very impressive total of 23 goals, which earned her the Players Player of the Season award with defender Kelly Howarth winning the Manager’s Player of the season award. Even though the World Cup has only just started, the club have already set up
most of their pre-season friendlies and start in Wales on 12th July with a game against Cymru Alliance side Holywell Town. The club’s first home game will be on Saturday 19th July against NW Counties League outfit Litherland Remyca United, who have just been elected to the first tier of semi-professional football.

Professional clubs have children as young as five training with them and will often sign players on schoolboy terms before they are ten. This often leads to disappointment and despondency when they are later released and many of these players never play again as the concept of playing for enjoyment has been lost on them. It is said that you can’t turn the clock back but it does seem to me that unless the FA are prepared to invest resources to

overhaul the whole structure and system of the game at grassroots level then it could just fade away. Having said all that it seems appropriate to laud those people who dedicate their lives to running clubs at amateur level, who give their time and energy to plough their efforts into providing opportunities to those who want to play the game to enable them to do so. Kenny Morrison, the chair of Stoneycroft FC, is one such person. Kenny
has been with Stoneycroft for nearly fifty years during which time he has been a player, manager, secretary and is now chairman of the club. He really is Mr. Stoneycroft and that is why it was a delight to see he had been rewarded with the Joby Humphries Award. This is a local award that is given in recognition of services to the game and nobody deserves it more. Congratulations to him and long may he and his like continue in the game.
