BABBLING BROOKS by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
The Georgian house on the edge of the city stood next to a gurgling brook which added a pleasant atmosphere to lawns overlooked by a conservatory. Liverpool was in the grip of movie mania and picture palaces were being built at key locations. Developers acquired Tue Brook House at the corner of Green Lane and West Derby Road. They pulled down the historic residence and put up an art
deco cinema called the Carlton, opening in 1932. Throughout this period the Tue Brook was visible on its way from Wavertree to Fazakerley. Liverpool is criss-crossed by streams but, like the Tue Brook, virtually all are now covered over. Most discharge into the River Alt which winds its way to the sea at Hightown. The Alt is best seen on the Croxteth Hall Country Park where the river is once again very clean following many

years of pollution. I last saw a water vole on its banks in 1965 and perhaps soon we may see playful otters back in the Alt and adjacent streams. One of the last sightings of an otter in West Derby was about 100 years ago in the Hall Brook, pictured where it passes under Croxteth Hall Lane. This was also the scene of a murder in 1909 when a Liverpool groom called Benjamin Scholey strangled his former girlfriend Minnie Gascoigne. They had walked out into the countryside and quarrelled before Scholey dumped the body in the brook. He later confessed to police. At his trial Scholey was sentenced to death but later reprieved. The River Alt gets its name from the ancient Norse (Viking) language and Croxteth was originally Krok’s Staith, meaning Krok’s landing-place. The identity of Krok is lost in the mists of time but he must have been a prominent figure. Rivers, streams and springs have long fascinated people. Like theTue Brook, they have been invested with a mythology that is still alluring. An iron-rich spring that trickles out of the rock in St James’s Gardens, behind Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, is believed by some to have healing properties.
Holy wells are still revered such as St Helen’s Well at Sefton. St Anne’s Well is marked on the Rainhill maps but some years ago my attempts to find it were unsuccessful.

Welcome to the March edition of the LINK
The two of us left the Echo seven years ago this month - now that is scarey!
As the old saying goes “doesn’t time fly”……………… not wishing the time away but the light nights are lovely, aren’t they? You seem to do so much more with the evenings. Glad to report that we are both fully recovered from our January viruses and are fit and raring to go again, thank goodness. We hope you are too.

He was nervous as he walked through the starlit park, his feet crunching on the c i n d e r- c o v e re d sidewalk under flickering gas lamps. Although it was 1966, Eric always felt that he was returning to the Victorian era when he entered the gloomy byways. The house was certainly not Victorian. The flat-roofed bungalow had walls decorated with strange abstract designs more suited to the John Moores Exhibition. Eric paused at the gate and put on his mask. Should he continue? The invitation had come through the sixth-form – friends of friends who had the house to themselves for the evening. The strains of W i n c h e s t e r

To advertise see page TWO Cathedral came cascading out of the unusual dwelling. He could not understand why he’d never noticed the house before while walking in Sandfield Park. Young people filled the rooms, some attempting conversation and others in quiet reverie. All were wearing masks ranging from the grotesque to the stylish. Eric felt slightly under-dressed in his plain, Lone Rangertype creation. He scanned the gathering trying to recog-
nise people beneath their disguises. Was that Murph from 6L? Could that be Mabel from 6U? He could not tell from their voices because the music was so loud. The girls wore miniskirts, the boys colourful hipster trousers. All were deathly pale in the subdued light. He first became aware of her through the corner of his eye. She was looking at him intently, her face dominated by a simple black cat mask. He realised they
Say you saw it in the LINK were the only two wearing black masks. They sat together in the garden enjoying the warm summer air. This was her home, she told him, her green eyes staring intently from behind the mask. They danced to the intoxicating slow drone of Set Me Free played over and over again on the radiogram. At midnight they kissed long and deep, the softness and sweetness of her lips sending his head spinning.
“Come this Friday. We will wear the masks,” she told Eric as he joined those drifting away into the sultry night. Friday came and his heart thumped in anticipation. Again he paused at the gate, carefully putting on his mask. He walked awkwardly up the long drive. Female voices seemed to be whispering in the shrubbery. Bats wheeled overhead and an owl screeched. This time the house was silent apart from the muf-
fled purr of Set Me Free. Eric rang the bell. The door seemed to open by itself. Then she was upon him like a wildcat. At first he thought it was a game until he saw her snarling mouth beneath the mask and felt her nails digging into his neck. There was no soft kiss just a crazy dance with painful biting. He struggled free, disorientated and afraid. He fled away through the shrubbery, flinging his mask aside.
5 Next day he returned but could find no trace of the house, only his
bedraggled mask hanging limply from a bush.

DEFENSIVE FRAILTIES LEAD TO ‘CROFTS DOWNFALL IN SEVEN GOAL THRILLER by Mick Titherington STONEYCROFT 3 LIVERPOOL NORTH 4 This game, played at the request of the Liverpool County FA at their ground at Walton Hall Park, provided a contrast between fast entertaining football, crisp passing and some woeful defending. Unfortunately for Stoneycroft their defensive errors were punished by a gleeful Liverpool North forward line who could hardly believe their luck. The scoring commenced within 7 minutes of the kick off. Although they started brightly enough a loose ball from the Stoneycroft defence was seized on by the Liverpool North midfield and they were allowed to slot the ball through and set free the excellent Hartley who lobbed the ball expertly over the advancing Donohue to put his side ahead. The deficit prompted a lively response from the home side with wing back Williams showing his pace in frequent maraudings down the right flank and the Stoneycroft bench were incensed when the referee failed to award a penalty when Williams was seemingly upended. The game then developed into an end to end tussle with both sides creating chances but failing to convert. McGann was denied by an excellent save by the Liverpool North keeper and went close with two other efforts. Hartley on the other hand continued to pose a threat. Just as the ‘Croft were beginning to despair of ever finding the net Kinney popped up to slot home from close range to level the score on 38 minutes. Shortly after the restart the visitors found themselves
ahead once again. Indecisive defending enabled the North forwards to get behind the Croft back four and a neat back heel by a North forward put the ball into the path of an unmarked colleague who put it into the empty net. Croft’s misery was compounded when Donohue collected a ball from Currie which the ref ruled as a back pass and the resultant free kick was converted. Debutant John Murphy, who had been introduced to replace the injured Kev Moss, added another dimension to the Croft attack and when he was brought down in the area Mike Kinney doubled his account from the spot. The Croft were now driving forward and there was an air of inevitability about the equaliser when it came, with Carruthers poking the ball home after a goalmouth scramble. Most observers now felt that the Croft would go on to win but were left aghast when three Liverpool North attackers were left unmarked for one of them to calmly head in at the far post from a corner with minutes to go. The drama had not finished, however, and the Croft camp were furious in the closing seconds when what looked like a push in the back in the North area was not penalised and in the hail of protests that followed Carruthers was sent off for dissent. STONEYCROFT: Donohue, Williams, Currie, Finnegan, Moss; Kinney, Carruthers, Flanagan, Foy; McGann, Peers: Subs: Murphy, E. Baker, S.Baker, Beckett, Dowd.
CROFT GO DOWN FIGHTING IN EVENLY FOUGHT CUP TIE by Mick Titherington APH 2
STONEYCROFT 1
With the sun shining on beautiful winter’s day this much postponed I Zingari Cup tie finally got underway. The game devel-
oped into hard fought encounter with both sides missing goalscoring opportunities. Stoneycroft started the brighter and impressed with some slick passing and movement. One partic-
ular move involved five or six players switching the ball from one flank to the other ending in the ball being pulled wide by Peers after it had been turned back from the goal line. Murphy, on the left flank and in his first full start for the club, was a constant thorn in the APH side. Because of the failure to take chances the teams went in level at half-time. The restart saw Eddie Baker on for Flanagan who had
sustained an injury in the first half. Not long into the half two minutes of defensive madness struck the Croft again in almost a carbon copy of the previous week when direct from a corner the APH forward found himself completely unmarked and gratefully nodded his side in front. Less than two minutes later poor marking from a cross saw APH double their lead with an easy header at the far post. The visitors fought
back heroically and were doing all they could to get back in the game but APH were looking solid. Almost out of the blue the Croft skipper, Finnegan, forced the ball home after a scramble following a corner making for an exciting climax. Croft threw the kitchen sink at the home defence but could not get an equaliser. McGann blasted a late free-kick over the bar the tie was lost and the Croft’s
exit from this cup was sealed. By a twist of fate the two teams will meet again in the next round of the George Mahon Cup and Stoneycroft will be hoping for better fortune then. S T O N E Y C R O F T: Donohue, Williams, Currie, Finnegan, Foy; Kinney, Carruthers, Flanagan, Murphy; Peers, McGann. Subs: E. Baker, S. Baker, Beckett, Moss, Dowd.

The first team have managed to consolidate their position with a push for promotion on the cards following two backto-back wins against Old Holts. A 6-0 victory was followed by a 5-0 victory with regular marksman Paul O’Hare bagging four goals and Mick Hutton and Joe Reynolds chipping in. The second team, despite Lee Sambor netting regularly, are finding life tough in the second division of the Liverpool Premier League and have suffered two heavy defeats to Warbreck Reserves. The third team resumed their fixture list with a clash against top of the table Essemay and, despite an Aaron Fitzsimmons goal, lost 4-1. The Veterans also returned to action in their divisional cup but suf-
