SANDERS OF THE MERSEY by Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
The soldier suffered serious face wounds as he fought in the First World War which
left him slightly disfigured for life. Leslie Banks had a privileged start to life in West Derby and must have consid-
have a particular bonus in his chosen career as an actor. It left one side of his face partially scarred and paralysed. If necessary, the scarring could be covered by make-up and publicity photographs show few signs. When playing romantic or comic roles, Leslie could show the unmarked side of his face. He might reveal the damaged side, with its permanently-glaring eye, when playing dramatic roles or villains. Leslie played a number of criminal types in his success-
ered himself lucky to survive the carnage that claimed the lives of so many of his contemporaries. His injury was to
ful stage and film career, notably as Count Zaroff in The Most Dangerous Game movie of 1932. He rarely gave interviews but was proud to say he was from West Derby. Leslie was born in 1890 to company agent George Banks and his wife Emily at 38 Russian Drive, Stoneycroft. George was successful and headed George Banks & Co, sole agent for Hannay’s Patent Composition. His office was at 9 Redcross Street, in the city centre. In 1891 the family moved to Holly Bank in Bankfield Road. I remember this elegant villa, demolished in the 1960s to make way for the college. By 1895 George was describing him-
self as a merchant and in 1897 the family moved to The Coppice in Meols Drive, Hoylake. Leslie was a bright boy and, after attending Glenalmond College in Scotland, went up to Oxford. He considered entering the Church before settling on acting as a career. Leslie rose to the heights of his profession and appeared alongside the great-
est actors of the day, both in the theatre and on film. His screen appearances included starring roles in such classics as Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much, Fire Over England, Jamaica Inn, Laurence Olivier’s Henry V and David Lean’s Madeleine. Perhaps his bestremembered part is as Sanders in
Sanders of the River (1935) where he is pictured brandishing a pistol next to Paul Robeson. F a t h e r- o f - t h r e e Leslie collapsed and died while taking a walk in 1952. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 21 November at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

GUNPOWDER, TREASON AND PLOT By Stephen Guy 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 gunpowderfilled 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

3 (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. You can learn more about the histo-
ry of Liverpool at the Magical History Tour exhibition at M e r s e y s i d e Maritime Museum, admission free.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAPER GODS AND IRON MENâ&#x20AC;? by Kevin Cowdall Set in the North Africa campaign of World War II, Paper Gods and Iron Men is a story of endurance and survival, of ordinary people in extraordinary situations. Two British Army officers have come together at a temporary aerodrome: Captain McBride is a career soldier and member of the Long Range Desert Group (a special force operating behind enemy lines) and Captain Poole is an enlister, having worked as a surveyor in civilian life. When their plane is shot down they are the only survivors
and begin the long trek across the desert. The Kindle edition is published with the short story, Flanagan's Mule, which shares the themes of personal determination and resolve, and is set in a South American mining community in the 1950s. Kevin Cowdall was born in 1959 in Liverpool, where he still lives and works, and started writing when in his teens. Three small press collections followed; The Reflective Image (1984), Monochrome Leaves (1985) and A Walk in the Park (1990). In 1986, The Writers' Rostrum

A number of Kevin's short stories have been published in UK magazines and anthologies and he has edited nine of these into a collection, The Ophelia Garden. He has also written his first play, Sometimes, and completed a full-length novel, Cosgrove's Sketches, about the life of an Edwardian Liverpool artist,. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAPER GODS AND IRON MENâ&#x20AC;? by Kevin Cowdall - available on www.amazon.co.uk

Hello, welcome back to our ‘Fighting Fit’ campaign. This month we are going to talk about values. This is the second part to “motivation”, the first part being “beliefs”, which was last month’s topic. To value something means to place importance upon it; anything you hold dear can be called a value. So when you and I make a decision, what are some of the states and emotions that we are moving towards? Maybe money, fulfilment and comfort…. When I have asked a client about the feelings that are most important for them in their lives, they’ll respond with words like success, freedom, intimacy, security, adventure, power, comfort and health. There are some emotional states that you’ll do more to achieve than others so therefore you don’t value them equally. Take a moment and make a list of some of the things you value most. What did you learn from doing this? If your number one values are passion, adventure and power,

I know you are going to make different decisions than someone whose top values are security , comfort, intimacy and health. While you have ‘moving toward’ values, you also have ‘moving away’ from values. How many of you have ever done public speaking? I know the first time I did a presentation in front of a group of business leaders, I was quite nervous but there are many people out there who won’t dare to do any kind of public speaking. Maybe they have a fear of failure, rejection or humiliation. As well as these three emotions, there are others; rejection, anger, frustration, loneliness, depression, failure, humiliation, guilt, confrontation etc. Take a moment now and make a list of some of the emotions you like to avoid. What does this tell you? Now that you have made a list of your ‘moving toward’ and ‘moving away’ values, does this give you an idea of why you do what you do? For example, if your number one ‘moving toward’ value is adventure and your number one ‘moving away’ value is fear, you may think twice about doing a bungee jump, depending on the kind of fear you have. EXERCISE: Think about the goal you want to achieve . Write down the values you need to have in order to achieve this goal. Once you have made a list, carry it around with you and take a look before you make any decisions with regards to your goal.

To advertise see page TWO Lane, the unmade road gated to keep livestock from wandering. It was 1927 and cars had trouble negotiating the lane. It made the isolation even more intense. Dorothy stood like a statue on the roof. There was a cool breeze wafting up from the valley. She was flushed from her exertions and delighted in the sensual feel of the gentle wind on her naked arms and legs. An owl flew above, passing before the full moon like a swooping ghost. The distant bark of a fox briefly broke the silence. Dorothy revelled in the bliss of the moment – she felt so alive, every sinew of her lithe body tingling with pleasurable sensations. She opened her eyes wide to absorb what she called her Night Kingdom. Suddenly she felt something was
missing and this sensation grew as she carefully climbed down the stairs to rejoin her unconscious sisters in the huge communal bedroom. The 19-year-old lay awake, sleep evading her. The following day she was strangely silent and over the next week was unable to make any nocturnal visits to the tower because of poor weather. Dorothy, while helping her mother sort out the contents of one of the unused rooms, found a beautiful veil spread out in a trunk. It had been worn by her deeply unpleasant grandmother when she married all those years ago in Childwall Church. Dorothy furtively rolled up the veil and hid it away. She was fascinated by the fine, transparent silk as soft as gossamer. It felt like a soft breeze as she ran it
through her fingers. That night she held the veil in her trembling hand as she climbed the stairs. She must wear it, feel its soft caress on her face in the moonlit breeze. At last Dorothy stood quivering in her favourite place and slowly – nervously – put on the veil. At first the sensation was intoxicating, like a hundred tiny hands stroking her hot face. This was the greatestever feeling of untrammelled, unconfined joy. Then all changed. A horrible toothless hag was staring at her through the veil, her deep-set eyes blazing. “Take it off!” the crone screamed. Dorothy never returned to the tower. • Read my next Strange Tale – He Knew Her Secret in the December Link.

CHOOSE YOUR LETTING AGENT WISELY URGES SUTTON KERSH Sutton Kersh Lettings is urging landlords and tenants to only deal with agents who are members of the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA). With difficult borrowing conditions and the subdued economic climate still affecting the traditional residential sales market, the demand for rental properties is on the increase, as is the number of people looking to benefit from the boom. Leah O`Neill Branch Manager at Sutton Kersh West Derby office said: ‘Just as you would never consider using an unlicensed doctor or

dentist, the same principle must apply to the lettings market. It is vital to check that your agent is ARLA registered.’ ARLA registered agents are bound by a set of strict industry standards which are aimed at giving security and peace of mind in equal measure. This includes being covered by a Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme for tenancy deposits and rents. If tenants deposits are not registered in one of the approved schemes then landlords are at risk of not being able to recover the cost of damages from the deposit. In the event of a dispute
between a landlord and tenant over repairs then the matter can be referred for adjudication if the deposit has been correctly registered. Leah added: ‘By being members of ARLA we follow a strict code of practice and rules of conduct. We are also required to carry out continuous professional development to ensure we are always offering best possible advice and aware of the latest legislation.’ Sutton Kersh currently has a large number of tenants looking for rentable accommodation in West Derby and is asking landlords to make contact as soon as possible on 0151 256 7837.

THE LINK’S CHRISTMAS APPEAL SUPPORTING ST VINCENT’S SCHOOL FOR BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED CHILDREN
GIVING IS JUST AS NICE AS RECEIVING…...
Next month in the December issues of West Derby LINK and South Liverpool LINK, we will be donating a full page in each edition to St. Vincent’s where readers and advertisers along with ourselves, can send Christmas wishes to our loved ones, friends, families or customers whilst, at the same time, supporting St. Vincent’s School for Blind and Partially Sighted Children (Charity No. 1102657)
Each little box will cost £15 plus VAT so just £18 in total. If you would like your greeting to appear in both papers (West Derby and South) then it will be double the cost so £30 plus vat which is £36 total. All you have to do is fill in the coupon (make sure you tick which LINK you want) with your own personal message and send your cheque for £18 or £36 (payable to “Liverpool Link”) to the address on the coupon. We have invented some example messages as below.
St. Vincent’s School, which is situated in the heart of West Derby, caters for children between 4 and 17 years of age who have a visual impairment and, in many cases, other disabilities. The children benefit from the highest standards of specialist education and care. A recent Ofsted report found the School to be “outstanding”. The Charity (Catholic Blind Institute), which also supports Christopher Grange Residential Home in Knotty Ash, aims to provide high quality services and an environment in which children, young people and adults are enabled to achieve a life of fulfilment, security and dignity This is achieved irrespective of disability, infirmity or age; where individual choices, feelings and opinions are important and where people are encouraged to feel they are a valuable part of a community.
Please help us to make this a really successful Christmas Appeal: All proceeds will go to support the children at St. Vincent’s

WOODLANDS HOSPICE 'LIGHT UP A LIFE' 2012 Woodlands H o s p i c e Christmas 'LIGHT UP A LIFE' provides an opportunity to celebrate Christmas while remembering those special to us, some of whom may no longer be with us. The Hospice has to raise ÂŁ2,000 per day through fundraising to secure the overall Hospice services and all money raised through 'Light up a Life'
will go directly towards securing these services. By dedicating a light to someone special you are remembering someone you love and helping by donating to the Hospice. The lights will twinkle on the Christmas tree throughout December and loved ones will be remembered in the 'Book of Life', which can be viewed at the hospice. You will also receive a special acknowledgement card.
The lights will be switched on at the outdoor carol service at the Hospice on Sunday 2nd December 2012
(4.30pm) and hot refreshments and viewing of the 'Book of Life' will be available (indoors) before and after the serv-
ice. If you would like to 'LIGHT UP A LIFE' please contact the fundraising team on 0151 529 2640/8193 or visit
www.woodlandshospice.org. You can dedicate a light until 31st December 2012 but to view the names of your
loved ones in the 'Book of Life' at the service on 2nd December you will need to return your form by 9th November. If you
are attending the service on 2nd December it would assist if you indicate on the form. www.woodlandshospice.org

HAT-TRICK HERO KINNEY STARS AS THE CROFT HIT SIX TO PROGRESS IN CUP continued from page 24 the twelfth minute when Adam, the youngest of the Baker boys, broke into the Hale box and hit a sweet right-footed drive just inside the left-hand post to open the scoring. Six minutes later he was involved in an altercation with a Hale player which saw both of them go into the referee’s notebook and soon after that sloppy defensive work let Hale through to level the scores. The score-line remained the same until just before half-time when the Hale goalkeeper felled the Stoneycroft attacker, who was about to round him, to concede a penalty and earn himself a yellow card. Mike Kinney netted from the ensuing penalty kick to put his side in front going into the break. Ten minutes into the second half Adam Beckett hit a superb twenty yard drive into the roof of the Hale net to make it three for the home side. Fifteen minutes later Mick Gough, making his debut for the Croft, latched on to a loose pass to break through and coolly sidefoot the ball past the advancing goalkeeper to make it four. The visitors were trying hard to get back into the game but they were now up against a determined home side who had the bit between their teeth and were playing with confidence, settling in to their passing game with some attractive moves with direction and purpose. It was after one such move that Mike Kinney added to his tally. Hale did pull one back almost straight from the restart to make it 5-2 but it was to prove Stoneycroft’s day as they added a sixth following a brilliant exchange of passes that had the Hale defenders mesmerised; that man Kinney popped up again to smash a perfectly hit low cross sweetly into the bulging net and send his team into the second round. STONEYCOFT: Donohue, Gough, Currie, Finnegan (capt), Baker S, Beckett, Calland, Carruthers, Baker A, Kinney, Burke. Subs: Bowers, Brocken, Wafer. Man of the Match: Mike Kinney

Despite a surprise exit from the league cup at the hands of lowly West Kirby, South Liverpool FC continue to lead the 2nd division of the West Cheshire League and remain on track for promotion to the top tier having also progressed to the third round of the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup. A narrow but fully deserved 2-1 league win over West Kirby Reserves, with goals from leading scorer Cameron Dalton and the first
of the season from Tom Kinsella, was ample revenge for a 2-1 league cup defeat by the same opponents two weeks previously. A 4-0 win over Mid-Cheshire League side Garswood United in the Challenge Cup, with goals from Gary Pollard, Cameron Dalton, Alex Woodcock and Tom Stewart, saw South progress to the 3rd round where they will travel to face Norris Green side ROMA. A comprehensive 6-0 win over struggling local rivals Marshalls saw Cameron Dalton score his second hat-trick of the season and the team
now have a three point lead over closest rivals Mallaby. The reserves have reached the 3rd round of the County FA Junior Cup after two eventful wins. A 3-2 win over Warrington League side Haydock, with goals from Neil Roach, Francis Evans and a penalty from the ever reliable Ross Kennedy, was followed by a 4-3 penalty win over Wigan & District League side Digmoor, following a 44 draw after extra time. The goals came from Neil Roach, Paul Wilson and two from Pat Kelly, the latter playing in his first game back after a
being out for a year through injury. In the middle of this period, the team defeated AFC Bebington Athletic Reserves 3-0 with goals from the returning leading goalscorer Mitchell McNally and Paddy O'Hanlon and Ross Kennedy also on the scoresheet. The youth team remain unbeaten with a 3-2 league win over Custys with goals from Sharif Yusuf, Darren Colecozy and Kieran Parker, and a 2-0 win over Kingsthorne with goals by Callum Brown and Scott Dunning.
