was a terminus with a large wooden waiting room (pictured). Here passengers caught the connection to Prescot and St Helens. This section was opened in 1902 by St Helens Corporation Tramways following electrification in 1899. Trams also ran from Prescot to Rainhill, passing through Whiston. From 1927 there was a tram service between St Helens and Wigan. St Helens trams were scrapped in 1936 but the Liverpool to Prescot service continued until after the Second World War. From the late 1920s some services
in the St Helens area were replaced by trolleybuses, electricpowered vehicles that did not require tracks.
trams can be experienced at the National Tramway Museum at Crich, near Matlock, Derbyshire.

Increasing use of motors eventually saw the end of traditional trams. Cars and wagons created wear and tear on the tram lines.
Visitors ride on restored trams or wander around huge sheds with row upon row of vehicles from all over Britain and many other countries.

Trams were also badly affected by traffic jams as there was no way to avoid the queues. The trams themselves caused jams, especially if they came off the tracks on bends for example.
There is a 1930s green Liverpool tram which has been lovingly restored and is among those that carries passengers. Traditional trams also still operate at Blackpool.
Several modern systems, such as the highly-successful Manchester trams, run along routes which restrict motor vehicles. The golden age of

LOCAL GIRL ELLIE (14) AT THE ROYAL BALLET SCHOOL When Ellie Young was 11 years old she left home to go to live at White Lodge, home of The Royal Ballet School, Richmond Park, Surrey. This had been a dream of hers since she was a little girl. A student at Chiltern Dance School in West Derby, Ellie excelled in ballet and when she was accepted into The Royal Ballet School at such a young age,
it was the stuff dreams are made of. Now, three years on and aged 14, Ellie has just passed her yearly assessment in the school, and has been offered a place for a further two years. Ellie’s mum Jo, a Slimming World consultant says ‘It has been really hard for her dad and I to adjust since she left home. You just don’t expect your child to leave at age 11! We totally support Ellie and her de-
cision to stay at the school, she loves it there, she belongs there. Ellie is a very focussed person, even for her age, and she knows where she wants to be. We call her “the quiet achiever”, she just gets on with things, fully focussed. Mrs Byatt and the teachers at Chiltern keep in touch with Ellie often, they have given her so much support and help and are truly amazing people”. The future is looking bright for this 14 year old; exciting times lie ahead for Ellie and she is ready for whatever comes her way

WEST DERBY SUPPORT WORKER HEADS FOR GAMBIA Awoman who supports people in We s t D e r b y i s heading out to the Gambia later this month on a two week study tour. Sharon Rourke, a support worker from North West charity Alternative Futures Group (AFG), is travelling to Africa with four colleagues as ambassadors for the organisation which provides support to adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs. It’s the third tour and is part of a two year partnership programme with Gambian charity Mobee, which sees the AFG ambassadors share their experiences and help with health and wellbeing matters. Sharon said: “I’m really excited about the study trip and looking forward to learning about mental health issues in the Gambia and experiencing the culture. It’s also an opportunity to share some of my experiences from working at a hospital in the UK. It would be great if as a result of the project we can help those in need and hopefully start to change perceptions”. Peter Flynn, Director of People and Communications and study tour lead, said: “This is an exciting and life-changing
learning and development opportunity. The project provides a first rate opportunity for both organisations to work together and raise awareness of mental health issues in the Gambia. Several of our staff have already been to the Gambia where they were able to develop new skills and techniques and on their return apply them in practice”, The group leaves for the Gambia on 29th March, followed by
further study tours scheduled over the next two years. More information can be found by visiting www.alternative-
futuresgroup.org.uk or by visiting our Facebook page, ‘AFG Support’. You can also follow us on Twitter @AFGSupport

overshadowed by hawthorn bushes. The spring sunshine bounced off something which caught Jimmy’s eye. He climbed down and saw the coin. Wiping it on his sleeve, it shone as though newlyminted. “This is Roman,” said Jimmy’s younger brother
Tim, a bright 12-year-old who knew his history. He pointed to the inscription which he proceeded to translate. Tim certainly knew his classical history and often borrowed books on ancient history from the library. The brothers decided to return to look for more coins. A day’s diligent searching
turned up nothing more exciting than some rusty nails and bottle tops – this was in the days before metal detectors. They came across the heads on the second day. Jimmy was digging into the bank among tree roots when a section of earth collapsed. Both boys backed away,

dogs at Dogs Trust Merseyside all of whom are looking for a family to love them. Margaret says, “I started rehoming dogs in 2004, with Muffin, an eight year old Yorkshire Terrier, and since then I have rehomed a further 39. I have had many different dogs in my time, from Chihuahuas, to Lhaso apsos to Pekinese – any dog that perhaps is overlooked in the centre for health or age reasons – I’ll take them! I have had some amazing characters over the years; Basil a 5 year old Yorkie cross is definitely my naughtiest, he loves nothing more than doing everything he shouldn’t.” My day definitely revolves around them, I do four rounds of walking in the morning, and divide them up based on their ability to walk. I take the younger more agile dogs on a very long walk and then decrease the distance down for the others. The last walk I do is just round the block with the older dogs who don’t want to go very far!” I have always wanted to help lots of dogs, ever since I was a young girl, and now I’m realising my dream. All dogs deserve the best home possible, and that’s what I look to give! Georgina Lowery, Rehoming centre manager at Dogs Trust Merseyside says, “Margaret has been a life saver to us over the years. Not only has she rehomed such a record number of dogs, she has also fostered 14 dogs for us over the years, while we look to find them homes. Her passion and enthusiasm for all dogs
To advertise see page TWO is truly inspirational and the work she does for us is invaluable. We have so many dogs at the centre, so we are appealing to anyone who is a dog lover to come and take a look – you never know you may find the love of your life.”

Dog of the Month Poppy, 18 month old, Crossbreed Poppy is a sweet young dog looking for a loving family
to call herown. She is a lively, fun character who loves nothing more than playing with her favourite toys. Poppy isn’t adapting well to kennel life so would love to find a new home soon where she can settle in well and enjoy her creature comforts. She can get a little over excited around other dogs so would benefit from some training to help develop her social skills. She can live with children aged 12 and over and would ideally like to find a
home with owners who are at home most of the time and could continue her training. If you think you could give Poppy a home, please contact D o g s T r u s t Merseyside on 0151 480 0660 or drop into the centre at Whiston Lane Liverpool L36 6HP, United Kingdom Dogs Trust is the UK’s largest dog welfare charity and cares for over 16,000 stray and abandoned dogs each year through its network of 18 Rehoming Centres across the UK and one in Dublin

BUOYANT ON THE BLACKSTUFF riences.’ Tony has just published a memoir entitled, ‘Buoyant on the Blackstuff (Me, Marathons, Maggie and Merseyside 1982-1992)’.
How does a keen runner pass the time when injury forces him or her off the streets? Well, in the case of veteran marathon runner Tony Peacock the answer to that question was: ‘They write about their expe-
The book charts his running experiences starting with his first attempt to complete the marathon in Liverpool in 1982 and culminating in the end of his serious running career in 1992 having completed the Mersey marathon for the tenth time. But the book isn’t just about running it is also an autobiographical account of someone from outside the city coming to settle and raise a family in Liverpool during those turbulent times. It is a light-hearted look at an obsession with
running but also a serious personal reflection on living through the eighties. The book is available on Amazon, in paper form and on kindle. A reviewer on Amazon kindle describes the book as: “A heartening and funny account of one man and his (extended) family, based around his progress to the peaks of amateur running mainly set in Liverpool and cleverly woven in with the political and social history of the time. Even if the furthest you have ever run is round the block, I’ll bet you’ll enjoy this slice of nostalgia mixed with a did-it-himself guide to how to run yourself (literally in some cases) into the ground!”

Maxine was always the life and soul of any gathering, raising money for charity at every opportunity; she was a brilliant artist, donating many of her paintings to charity (which would then be auctioned); she loved cooking and was a really great cook who catered for many charity functions; she was also an animal lover, taking in many a stray cat, always finding a good home for the ones she could not keep herself. And even after death Maxine continued to help others by donating her organs. Maxine was a truly special, unique person who will be very sadly missed by all who knew and loved her, leaving a huge gap in many peoples’ lives.
REST IN PEACE, MAX. If you would like to make a donation in Maxine’s memory please make cheques payable to The Linda McCartney Centre and the LINK will pass them on. Please send to: "In Memory of Max", Liverpool LINK Ltd., PO Box 170, Liverpool, L25 7WX

Cameron Dalton at Blacon (scored a hat trick) league leading goalscorer.
SOUTH REACH CHALLENGE CUP FINAL After a wait of 13 years, South Liverpool FC have reached the final of the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup with a rip roaring extra time 43 win over old rivals, Old Xaverians in a closely contested semi final. An excellent header from centre forward Cameron Dalton in the first five minutes of extra time settled the tie after South had been pegged back after taking a 3-1 lead midway through the second
half with excellent goals from Elliott Burnett and Adam Rood and a scrambled effort from Cameron Dalton. The final will be held at Walton Hall Park at 6.30pm on Tuesday 15th April when the opponents will be Garswood United from the Cheshire League. They lead their league and are in line for an impressive treble as they have also reached the final of their own league cup. South have had no trouble in scoring goals since the enforced winter break, defeating
Southport Trinity 4-3, losing to Mallaby 3-4 and crushing Blacon by six goals with hat tricks for Cameron Dalton and Alex Woodcock. The team currently lie fourth in the league with a realistic chance of finishing runners up to runaway lead-
ers, Maghull. The Reserves’ chances of reaching a cup final came to an end at the hands of league leaders Rainhill Town in the league cup, losing 3-1 in the semi final despite an excellent equaliser from returning Gerard Forde. The team though did have an
excellent 2-1 win over promotion chasing Ford Motors, with two goals from captain Neil Roach, and the second promotion spot behind Rainhill is still up for grabs. The Under 18 youth team have clinched a semi final berth in their league cup with
two excellent away wins against Mallaby and West Kirby. The 6-2 defeat of Mallaby was revenge for two earlier defeats in the league. The cup win featured a hat trick (including a penalty) for midfielder David Mee, two for Alex Griffiths and one for Alex Walsh.
The 3-0 win against West Kirby saw three well taken goals for Jamie Clair, Joe Preston and David Mee. There was also a 6-2 defeat by title favourites, Bootle, but South's performance featured a tremendous team goal by Joe
Preston, a contender for goal of the season. South's newest team, South Ladies, have also resumed after the winter lay off and after a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool University grabbed a good point in a 11 draw with Liverpool Feds County.

BATTLING 10 MEN CROFT RUN OUT OF TIME IN FIGHTBACK Stoneycoft 1 South Sefton Borough 2 by Mick Titherington They say that in football you make your own luck and as with all cliches there is an element of truth in that but Stoneycroft had better learn soon what the secret is so that they can start manufacturing some, as forthe second time in three games they finished the game with 10 men. Coming after a spirited display against Page Celtic, the home side looked up for a contest and were ready to take the game to the visitors. They started brightly enough but on the ten minute mark luck deserted them when an attempted clearance from a corner ended up in the back of their own net. Bad defending saw the Sefton double their lead against the run of play. Luck-wise, worse was to come in the 35th minute when Croft defender Brian Porter was controversially sent off following a mistimed tackle. However, rather than bemoaning their luck, the response from
the Stoneycroft players was admirable, with Mike Kinney dropping back to complete a back three in a revised formation which left Bruce Crumblehome alone up front. Croft then took the game to the visitors and battled to get back into the reckoning. Adam Boakes worked tirelessly in the centre of midfield with Gary Allen and Eddie Baker doing the same on the flanks and indeed it was they who
looked dangerous throughout, always posing a threat. Ten minutes into the second half Stoneycroft were awarded a penalty which was converted by Mike Kinney. After that despite a player advantage the ‘Borough were pegged back with any ventures outside of their own half quickly dealt with by the in-form Kevin Kirkpatrick but despite territorial advantage the home side were unable to take the
