Issue 100 – November 2014
CASTLE POWER by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society THE fortress stood on a mound overlooking forested countryside and a village which would grow over the centuries. There is some debate over when West Derby Castle was built. Victorian historians thought it dated from the days of AngloSaxon king Edward the Confessor. It is now believed to have been constructed in the decades after the Norman Conquest, probably before 1102 when powerful local baron Roger de Poitou was banished. This was a time when England was unstable after the Conquest. Knights jostled each other for power and influence – it was an era of instability and uncertainty. As aerial photographs from the 1920s show, West Derby Castle featured a moated mound with an adjacent fenced yard or bailey. A rather fanciful 1810 engraving (pictured) shows the dilapidated castle overlooking cattle in a field. The castle was described as ruined in a 1326 document – it had been abandoned for almost a century by this time – although the mound survived until about 1827.
Writing nearly 50 years later, eminent local historian Sir James Picton says some oak timber and hewn stones were discovered. A piece of oak, which becomes very hard over time and is almost indestructible, was made into a desk for an antiquary. The item was inscribed with a brass plate saying: “This desk was made from part of an oak beam that was dug out from the ruins of Edward the Confessor’s castle at West Derby, Lancashire.” It is believed the desk was destroyed when Liverpool Museum was gutted during
the 1941 Blitz. Liverpool Castle was completed around 1235 and troops transferred from West Derby Castle, which was then abandoned. Generations of local people pillaged the site – West Derby Courthouse, built in 1586, features recycled pieces of ancient oak. Part of the muniment room door frame includes a blackened, rock-hard piece of timber with a series of grooves indicating it came from somewhere else. It is possible that this was
brought from West Derby Castle at a time when oak was in very short supply. Queen Elizabeth, lord of the manor, ordered the Courthouse to be built from stone – she needed all the new oak she could get for warships. Two years later her navy destroyed and dispersed the huge Spanish Armada sent to conquer England. Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 19 November at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

WEST DERBY PUB SET FOR EXTENSIVE REFURBISHMENT YES, WE WILL BE OPEN ON THE 31ST!! Pictured left: Refurbishment work is well underway. And right: Hard at work are Mary, left, and Paula.
THE Sefton Arms on Mill Lane, West Derby, will reopen its doors on Friday 31 October following a brief closure from Monday 6 October for an extensive redevelopment. The bar will open at 5pm on the Friday, with the lounge opening at 7.30pm, and food will be served from Saturday, 1 November. There will be entertainment all weekend, and the following weekend, with singers, musicians and kids entertainer Suzy Rainbow appearing on both Sundays. A six-figure sum investment will see the pub go through a complete makeover, including a brand new layout, remodelled
bar, upgraded seating, and improved toilet facilities and the refurbishment coincides with the pub’s recent move to join Greene King’s Flame Grill family. The new Flame Grill Sefton Arms will offer great value food and drink alongside the fantastic customer service and friendly welcome for which it is already well known. Manager, Mary Tremarco, who has been with the pub for 34 years, said: “I am really looking forward to showing off the new look Sefton Arms. “The revamp is exactly what this village pub needs. “While the changes are happening, we will still be taking bookings for our popular
Christmas parties and dinners so customers can call to make their reservations. “I am sure our community will enjoy visiting and dining in the new and improved Sefton Arms and I’m looking forward to welcoming customers, old and new, through the door when we reopen again in three short weeks.” Jonathan Webster, Managing Director of Greene King’s Local pubs, said: “It is always exciting when a pub goes through a transformation before once again opening to the public. “This is a huge change to the Sefton Arms but one I am sure the local people of West Derby will thoroughly enjoy.”

STRANGE TALES
GAME OF CHANCE By Anton Valdemart THE boys ran out of the school gates over to the recreation ground bathed in late afternoon summer sunshine. Each wore the uniform of St Bertha’s Academy – short jackets with cloth-covered buttons, school ties and tasselled mortarboard caps. All lived in Walton Park, their well-to-do families occupying modest but spacious villas on the edge of town. Queen Victoria had recently celebrated her Golden Jubilee and staff and pupils took part in celebrations, organising a garden fete at the school.Ernest Walmsley tucked his tennis racquet under his arm, straightened his mortarboard and led his three friends – Peter Tomkins, Simon Sinclair and John Jones –

over to the school tennis courts.They carefully placed their caps and jackets on the pavilion veranda and rolled up their sleeves. The friends were very competitive and the ball was soon bouncing back on forth over the net at high speed. Although it was supposed to be a friendly warm-up before the Liverpool Schools Championship, things started to get heated. “Foul!” shouted Sinclair more than once, claiming Jones was using unfair tactics by getting too close and hitting too wide. Later the four settled their differences and the sat together in the shade of a tree, sharing a large bottle of foaming sarsaparilla. “Tennis is all very well but a game a chance is best – a gamble where the outcome is unknown and the
stakes are high,” said Walmsley. Just then four girls from St Roderick’s School for Young Ladies poked their heads over the wall, pulled tongues and ran off giggling. “Come here this minute!” a voice screeched from somewhere in the distance. It was Miss Peabody, St Roderick’s formidable botany teacher.The girls were on a nature walk and the boys watched them climb the embankment and disappear into the dell. Minutes later they decided on the game – whoever hit the fewest balls into the hole in the log must pay a forfeit decided by the others. Walmsley’s face later burnt bright red when he was told he must do the unthinkable – kiss Miss Peabody.He spruced himself up, brushing down his jacket and placing his mortarboard

www.liverpoollink.co.uk at a jaunty angle. The boys headed for the dell, which featured a pond, where they could hear Miss Peabody’s droning voice. They crouched behind a large tree and observed the scene. Miss Peabody was sat with the girls forming a semi-circle around her. Walmsley strode over to them, clutching a small bunch of wild flowers. Miss Peabody stood up, confused and annoyed. “I would like you to
have these interesting flowers,” he said, bowing. He stood on tiptoe and lunged at her with pursed lips. Miss Peabody stepped back and Walmsley staggered then fell head-first into the pond. He pulled himself out and ran off, covered in mud. Even Miss Peabody had to smile. She and the girls discovered a new game – throwing stones at Walmsley’s mortarboard floating in the pond.

GUNPOWDER, TREASON AND PLOT ... By Stephen Guy, West Derby Society IT WAS 1605 and all England was agog with news of the plot to blow up Parliament, King James I and his Lords and MPs. Revenge was swift and Guy Fawkes and his fellow Catholic
plotters were executed in the most barbaric manner – hung, drawn and quartered. This meant they were hanged and, while, still alive, chopped up and their heads and body parts displayed on pikes as a warning to others. All had actively planned the
horrific deaths of the Protestant king in an act of outrageous terrorism. It was only through the vigilance of the authorities that Fawkes was spotted before he could light the fuse to ignite the pile of gunpowder-filled barrels under Westminster . This is why we still celebrate the foiling of the plot on 5 November every year by burning and effigy of Guy Fawkes. In 1605 the area that is now south Liverpool was very different from today. It was still partly ancient forest that was gradually being cleared to make way for farmland. Tiny Liverpool’s seven streets were dominated by an ancient castle. A track led through the trees south to Speke Hall. Just one building is said to have stood along the way – and still stands – the Ancient Chapel of Toxteth. Visitors to Speke Hall are always fascinated by the priests’ hiding places. In 1605 the Hall was occupied by a Catholic family, the Norrises. As followers of the old faith, they had to pay fines for not attending Church of England services. These fines accelerated the financial decline of the Norris family. Thomas Norris inherited the Hall in 1651 and was the first Protestant head of the family, However, he was a Royalist and was on the losing side in the Civil War when puritan Roundheads (Republicans) fought Cavalier dandies (Royalists). The Norris estates were confiscated and not regained until Charles II – the Merry Monarch – was restored to the throne amid national rejoicing after the miserable years of the Commonwealth (Republic) when even dancing was banned. Experience a real court building from the days of the Gunpowder Plot at West Derby Courthouse, West Derby Village, open 2 pm to 4 pm every Sunday April to October (not Easter) and 10 am to 2 pm on Village Market days, first Saturday of the month (not January).

LIFE ‘n’ STYLE with JADE AINSWORTH
Christmas wrappings HEY guys, it’s finally the time of year that I have been waiting for all year!! Christmas decoration time! If you are like me and absolutely love this time of year then I have no doubt you’ll have your tree up nice and early. Last year I was slightly behind (for me!) and didn't put it up until mid-November but luckily I am more prepared this year and put it up at the end of October. If I had my way, the tree would stay up all year round! I love the winter nights with the candles on, sitting back admiring the many trees that I have put up! If you’re still on the lookout for some pieces Taskers and All That Jazz in Stockton Heath (Warrington) are the best places this year and prices are slightly cheaper than other places. As the temperatures have dropped quite a bit lately I have become quite obsessed with faux fur!! Many celebrities are driving the trend for coats, shawls and gilets. Various High Street stores are stocking exciting faux fur fashions that complement a myriad of styles and tastes. The range of faux fur garments available today promises fans something fashionably soft and luxurious for keeping the cold at bay. There are many stores offering authentic furs but I much prefer the faux fur so have hand-picked a few of my fav’s off the High Street.
Left: I love this stylish black faux fur collar biker jacket from River Island for £65, with a cosy light brown faux fur collar. http://www.riv erisland.com/ Right: Wrap up warm in this pale pink faux fur coat by Myleen Klass for Very for £70.00. http://www.ve ry.co.uk/

He is looking for an owner who has the time and energy to entertain his busy mind and exercise him. He can be a bit nervous and is on a confidence building programme at the centre, so would need an owner who can continue with this and build up his trust.

How Brian finally kicked the habit BRIAN Wallace smoked his first cigarette aged 12 whilst at a Valentine’s Day disco He was instantly hooked and would go on to spend his dinner money on cigarettes, buying them on his way to school each day. By the time Brian reached his mid-twenties he was smoking 40-60 cigarettes a day. Despite making a determined effort to reduce his intake to 20 a day, he never managed to kick the habit, particularly after losing his wife when his daughter Lauren was just four years old. However, his heavy smoking habit finally caught up with him this year when Brian, 47, suffered a suspected heart attack, two major strokes and 12 mini strokes, providing the catalyst he needed to finally kick
the habit. Brian smoked his last cigarette in March and, after seeking help from Liverpool-based community Stop Smoking Service Roy Castle Fag Ends, he hasn’t looked back. “I had heard about Fag Ends through my doctor’s surgery and thought I’d go along to see what it was all about,” said Brian, a civil servant from Lee Park, Belle Vale in Liverpool. “I found the information Fag Ends provided really helpful, particularly the charts about how long it takes for your organs to start functioning more normally and how much money you can save by not buying cigarettes as too having carbon monoxide levels tested.” “I had a cigarette stump in my ashtray
and I decided to smoke that, and then quit! I use nicotine lozenges that were provided by Fag Ends to deal with cravings and a fortnightly phone call from my advisor from Roy Castle Fag Ends and dropping into the group helps to keep me focused.” “My daughter Lauren is 17 now and I want to see her grow up. I doubt I would have done if I’d carried on the way I was going. She is really pleased, as is my mum who has been pestering me to cut down for years. I am really proud to have given up and I don’t actually miss it at all, despite smoking for all those years. For further information on help to stop smoking call Roy Castle Fag Ends free phone 08001952131.

Live music should be a joint effort ... By Nic Perrins ONE thing I’ve learned since starting the Mersey Gig Guide this year is that many people have an opinion on the current state of Liverpool’s live music scene. Some feel that the venues don’t do enough to promote and host live music, some feel that audiences are apathetic, others are blaming the abundance of open mic nights for a reduced demand for fully plugged rock gigs.
‘I know for a fact there is no shortage of great live rock bands in Liverpool, no shortage of venues wanting to host them and no shortage of people saying they want to watch’ But over the last 10 months, I have come to know countless bands, venues, and event promoters, all keen to host live gigs, often with personal financial risk attached. Yet despite that, 90% of gigs I’ve listed on the Gig
Guide since January have all had one thing in common – they have been free. I am bombarded daily with people asking me to help them promote their gigs and I know for a fact there is no shortage of great live rock bands in Liverpool, no shortage of venues wanting to host them and no shortage of people saying they want to watch. So, if we all do our bit, the process should be simple: the venue takes a risk on a band and pays them the going rate. To guarantee a full pub and good bar sales, the venue promotes the gig. Then, in order to secure repeat bookings, and generate some great PR, the band also promotes the gig and brings a crowd. Finally Joe Public makes the effort to get off the sofa and get down to the pub to enjoy a few beers and a great gig.

SLOW LIVERPOOL SEFTON! by Abii McLindon Despite some great pre-season training, both the womens’ and mens’ first teams at Liverpool Sefton Hockey Club have started the season slowly. The men in the Northern Hockey League have one draw from their first three games and the women in the Investec North League have two draws from
four games. Following games against Loughborough, Kendal and Whitley Bay, the women played Cannock last weekend. With Cannock one place below Liverpool Sefton in the league table it was crucial to take points from this fixture and build momentum for the rest of the season. A series of short corners for Sefton produced the first real
opening in the game and a move straight off the training ground saw a fierce shot from Jayne Bazley-Harrison ricochet off the left upright. Sefton remained on top for the rest of the half but were unable to convert any of their chances. The second half saw Sefton launch a series of dangerous attacks. Emma Gaunt used fancy footwork to get to the dead ball line
and produce a great cross which Jayne deflected into the net. 1-0 to Sefton! The game now opened up with Clare Panter and Grace Moffat battling hard in midfield and Vicki Bell, Rachel and Nat Hannah steadfast in defence. As the final whistle blew a short corner was conceded and with the last hit of the game Cannock equalised. Two points lost!
SOUTH OPEN UP FOURPOINT GAP AT THE TOP by Jim Stanway On a day when all their main rivals were involved in cup competitions, South Liverpool FC opened up a four-point gap at the top of the West Cheshire League First Division table with a 2-1 win at local rivals Hale. Extracting revenge for defeat in the Liverpool Challenge Cup in September, South won the league game comfortably despite a late goal by the home side. Early goals by Tom Kinsella and Cameron Dalton gave South the edge but numerous chances to put the game to bed were missed and a welcome 3 points was well-earned. The previous week, South raced unto anothertwo-goal lead at Chester Nomads with both goals coming from striker Dalton. The home side got then equalised early in the second half before further goals from Dalton and leading scorer Alex Woodcock brought a 42 scoreline which produced a more realistic result. Again, all South’s main rivals dropped points putting the team in a good position as winter beckons. South’s reserves experienced their first defeat of the season with elimination from the league cup against a very experienced Neston Nomads by 2-1. Nomads’ midfielder Richie Foulkes is one of the best players in the whole league and was
responsible for creating both the equaliser after Scott Dunning’s opener for South and the decisive penalty after South’s centre-half Louis Fay was sent sent off for deliberate handball. The team retain a two-point lead in the third division table despite dropping two points to

lowly Chester Nomads Reserves. The team progressed to the third round of the Liverpool Junior Cup with a fortuitous 42 win over Speke-based outfit Red and Blue after extra time with goals from Ryan McMahon, Francis Evans, Chris Williamson and Adam
Shelton. The youth team lost their 100% record with a 5-3 defeat to nearest rivals Custy’s although other wins against Vauxhall Motors, Hale Colts and against Belfry in the Liverpool Youth Cup have given the team a 3-point lead in the league and a trip to Formby Juniors in the cup.

CROFT GO OUT OF CUP BUT JUNIORS SHOW PROMISE by Mick Tetherington Premier League side Stoneycroft FC crashed out of the Liverpool Challenge Cup to St. Helens-based Penlake after a rather dismal display at Maiden Lane. The East Liverpool outfit can have no complaints about the result following a below par performance and will be disappointed that recent improvements have not been maintained. The two positives to take from the 3-1 defeat were the contribution from Adam Newbolt, coming on as substitute and making his debut, whose robust style upset the visitors’ defenders and earned himself a place on the score sheet, and the fact that Croft are now able to concentrate on the league. They face a stiff test when they welcome Liver Academy to the Lane in their next fixture and boss Kirkpatrick will be looking for much improved contributions from his players. On a more pleasing note the Junior side, which they have just taken under their wing, have been impressive in their games so far. In a recent encounter against The Farmers they eventually ran out winners in a hard fought contest with Joe Chandler netting twice. Franco Hyland earned rave reviews, dictating play in true midfield general style and ran team

mate Joel Chandler close for the Man of The Match award. Juniors manager, Lee Scott, was full of praise for his players after the game, expressing his pleasure at the way “we carried out our game plan
and got the result”. He also recognised the part Farmers played in “an excellent game” and said “well done to all the players for the part they played in a great game”. All those who witnessed the game will agree with
those sentiments. Croft’s Veterans XI have also had a satisfying start to their campaign, which has been a bit stop-start up to now, but performances so far will hold them in good stead once the season gets into full swing.
FULWOOD – FULLY COMMITTED The Fulwood Arms FC endeavoured a rather miserable first season as a football team. The first season
blues saw them only pick up one win and one draw for the entire 2013/2014 season. The team refused to give in and decided to give it another
shot. Since moving from the Formers League into the second division of the Liverpool Sunday district league, the Fulwood Arms have
picked up two wins and a draw from five leagues games, better than their record for the whole of last season. The results have included a 3-1 win over second in the table Wood St FC and a fantastic comeback from 3-0 down against Fazackley FC, which resulted in a 33 draw after a fantastic second half display. Currently unbeaten at home, Fulwood Arms are building confidence and a very together squad that is improving week by week and hoping to put a challenge for a high place in the league and a good cup run.
be sponsoring the ‘Blue Team’ at Everton Red Triangle (ERT) under 12s Football Club. Phil Lawton, director at Sutton Kersh, said: “We are really happy to be able to support ERT this season. “We believe in investing in the community to help give local people an opportunity. Everyone at Sutton Kersh wishes them lots of success for this season and their futures.’ The club started in 2009 to provide a good standard of football opportunities for the community, with a focus on social and personal development as well as having fun and encouraging community cohesion. The club name however dates back over 100 years, when it started as the Everton Red Triangle Boys Club, providing multiple sports activities and was also part of the YMCA. Wayne McDonald, coach and chairman at Everton Red Triangle Football Club, added: “All players are from the North
amazing to watch the kids grow and develop. “They are such a great team, so enthusiastic and energetic and really do give their all in training and at every game.” The team play in the Scotland Road Junior Football League on a Saturday morning. Last season ERT were awarded The Fair Play Trophy for their respectful approach to football within the league. As well as the league, the team participates in many different tournaments across the country throughout the year, and are due to attend an international football tournament being held at Butlins Skegness in May 2015. “Everyone at the club are proud to have Sutton Kersh as our Blue Team sponsor as they are a highly professional local business, with a strong history of supporting the Liverpool area, demonstrating their clear social values through their support of community clubs such as ERT,” added Wayne.
