First you knocked in two stout nails close together about waist height. Climbing on to this initial perch, you worked your way up the tree hammering nails for steps as you progressed.
Conquering a tree was a challenge. The true enthusiast clambered up the trunk skilfully but we preferred a hammer and pocket full of nails.
Once you reached the fork of the tree, you could escape from reality and relax with plenty to see.

In winter they were cold and unwelcoming but in summer their leaves and boughs hid you in a warm embrace.
I have many fond memories of a large tree at West Derby Tennis

Club, near where Winterburn Crescent was later built. The tree is pictured (centre) when we were having a kick around in May 1962. By this time it was forlorn after someone set fire to the trunk, leaving it unsafe. Afew years earlier this had been an Eden rather than waste land. Spreading beyond the tree was a small holding known as Old Joe Johnson’s. Many types of fruit and vegetables were grown and I particularly remember large juicy tomatoes growing up canes. Three or four of us would climb the tree – it may have been an ash or a poplar. It was strangely soothing if there was a breeze as the trunk and branches creaked as they gently swayed. It was only by climbing a large tree that I fully understood its nature as a living thing. We would straddle boughs before returning to ground level. The easiest way was to carefully drop
from the lowest branch. My friend had cherry trees in his garden but climbing them was not the same. There was nowhere to sit and, because they were nearer the houses, they were blackened with soot. Everything was in those days, as countless coal fires burned day and night before we had to go smokeless about 1968. Some older boys had a gang and one day we were invited to visit their tree den. It was cunningly hidden in hawthorn bushes alongside the ditch bordering West Derby Hockey Club. This was different from other tree climbing – you had to scramble through thorny foliage to reach a crude platform made from scraps of wood. • Join the West Derby Society at its next meeting 7.30 pm on Wednesday 21 May at Lowlands, 13 Haymans Green, Liverpool L12 7JG.

courthouse after bowmen from the West Derby Hundred distinguished themselves at the Battkle of Agincourt. At the court they dealt with land and financial issues relating to their vast prop-
erties. They also sat in judgment on people accused of petty offences. The only punishments meted out were fines or up to six hours in the stocks. The court last sat in 1910 and is now Grade
II*-listed. It was refurbished in 2005. • Visit the Courthouse between 2 pm and 4 pm every Sunday between April and October (not Easter Sunday), admission free.

Hardly bigger than a double garage,this is the former manor court where members of the powerful Molyneux family once sat in judgment. The courthouse was built in 1586 when there were just seven streets in Liverpool, clustered around the castle. As well as being the only freestanding post-medieval courthouse in Britain, it is Liverpool’s oldest non-ecclesiastical public building. West Derby Courthouse was not a court in the modern sense – there were no lawyers and the squire acted as steward. The Courthouse represents a vanished way of life long before Britain became a propertyowning democracy. When it was built about 50 wealthy families – most of them royalty or aristocracy – owned England. West Derby was an important settle-
ment when Liverpool was just a farm called Esmedune at the end of Smithdown Lane.. There was probably a courthouse in Saxon times. Elizabeth I personally sanctioned the building of the present Courthouse which signifies its major role in the district. The thrifty monarch slashed the budget from £60 to £40. Locals wanted it built from wood but this was two years before the Spanish Armada threatened England. Every mighty oak tree was needed for ships – the Courthouse was constructed from cheaper local stone instead. The Molyneuxes – along with the Stanleys – owned Liverpool and much of Lancashire. Later created Earls of Sefton, the Molyneuxes were also responsible for law and order and were successively constables of both West Derby and L i v e r p o o l Castles.They were made hereditary stewards of the

by Marilyn McKenna I was born in Liverpool but have lived formost of my life in France. I love coming back to Liverpool and seeing the positive changes that have taken place over the years - and the fact that most of my family still live there is a major incentive to visit frequently. I’ve always loved cooking and remember with great fondness my cookery lessons at La Sagesse High School where I was a pupil between the ages of 11 to 17. I really did learn the basics during these lessons and I have never forgotten them. Living in France (Paris and the
Dordogne region) one cannot help but be interested in food and cooking. I thought it would be a nice idea to share with the LINK readers some of the recipes I’ve picked up over the years, a lot of them from my friends - some of whom are really good cooks .The following recipe is a favourite of ours and was given to me by my friend Brigitte who lives in the Dordogne.

Dog of the Month Jess, 5 years old, Blood Hound
Jess is a lovely girl with a gentle soul. She is a typical hound, and loves exploring the outdoors, and will need an active owner who can give her plenty of exercise. She would benefit from a home with plenty of space so she can burn off her excess energy and would need to be in an adult only home. Her ideal owner would have experience of the breed before, and she could live with another calm dog.
If you think you could give Jess a home, please contact Dogs Trust 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 nearly 17,000 dogs each year through its network of 18 Rehoming Centres across the UK and one in Dublin.

Vintage... Hum. A foreign and somewhat alien word to the daily Tunisian dialect and preoccupations. Here, “brand new” is generally the favoured trend, especially when it comes to clothing. Yet the growing number of flea markets establishing themselves across the country these last 7 years or so reveals a growing interest in second-hand items on the part of the Tunisian consumer. Indeed, Tunis’ renowned historical flea markets, Malasine, in the North of Tunis, and Hafsia, in downtown Tunis, are now in competition with several other district markets, such as Bousalsla in the Northern suburb of La Marsa, Ariana and Ibn Khaldoun markets, both in the north-west of Tunis, and Ezzahra and Rades markets in the southern suburbs of the
capital, to name but a few. While most of these markets are run weekly (Bousalsa on Sundays, Ezzahra on Thursdays, Rades on Saturdays, Ariana on Fridays), Hafsia, which to this day remains the reference, is run every day of the week. Whether you’re looking for contemporary or vintage pieces, all you need to be armed with when planning a trip to the market is a little cash, lots of patience and good intuition. Clothes are generally hung-up or piled in huge chaotic mounds on top of trestles, more or less by theme: trousers, tops, underwear, coats, pyjamas, toys, tights, belts, shoes, bags... you can even find vintage cutlery and dishes, old radios, lamps, mirrors - you name it! We’ve all fantasised about that 60s painted black leather handbag we found for 3 dinars (about £1) which says “Made in Italy” (I know I have), that white lace tablecloth we found for
specialising in secondhand merchandise, or by fashion retailers who want to get rid of their unsold articles. Normally this commerce is reserved for developing countries. The best part of the
trip to the flea market is knowing that whatever you will be taking home in the black plastic bag the vendor will have given you with your purchase in it, you’ll have got a bargain! From 1 dinar (about 40p) to 50 di-

To advertise see page TWO nars (about £20), prices suit all shapes and sizes of purse. Mainly frequented by women, the flea market typically attracts clients of all ages and social and occupational categories - there’s something for everyone! My personal favorite is the Hafsia market. To access it you need to walk through some of the narrow, historic streets of downtown Tunis, where the views of French colonial architecture and the scent of freshly brewed coffee
and warm croissants will lift your spirits. I generally go on Saturdays, when I’m sure to have the time to grab a glass of freshly squeezed juice on my way in, and then grab a bite to eat at a local greasy spoon on my way home, feeling charged with enthusiasm, a great sense of satisfaction and an urge to stick those clothes in the washing machine and show them off to all my friends. Ah... just my kind of shopping!

WEST DERBY LINK NEW RECYCLING CENTRE
Lister Drive Industrial Estate and will be a valuable facility to enable residents and local businesses to have easy access
A letter from Councillors Radford, Lenton & Williams We are delighted to announce that the planning application for a recycling centre for Cheadle Avenue, off Green Lane, has
been passed with our support at the P l a n n i n g Committee. The site was picked from three options on the
for recycling. It is expected the unit will be operational from March next year and we hope it will help reduce dumping and take the pressure off the queues at
Otterspool Prom. It is vital for the whole city to really boost recycling rates as the EU driven tariffs on landfill will rise even further.

IMPROVING CROFT EARN JUST REWARD AT LAST by Mick Titherington
OLD XAVS 1 STONEYCROFT 2 continued from page 20 ball into the roof of the net ten minutes after going behind , to see the teams all square at the half way mark. Against the wind in the second half, the visitors continued to hold their own and gradually began to get the better of their opponents. So it proved when man of the match Eddie
Baker’s persistence paid off after he seized on a mistake by the home keeper to slot home what proved to be the winning goal. After that Cromblehome, on as a sub for Mogale, went close after a good run. Apart from needing to defend three corners one after the other in the last minute the Croft always looked like securing the points and send
their supporters home euphoric. An added bonus was the welcome return of long term absentee, Jon Bowers, who came on as a late substitute for Mooney. Bowers has been plagued by injury lately and it was a delight to see him back in action. Afully-fit Bowers can only add to the quality of the squad.
Back row left to right: Martin Ryman (manager), Stephen Ward (coach), Louis Fay, Steve McLinden, Luke Picken, Gary Polard, Cameron Dalton, Steve Doyle, Kenny Deakin (assist manager). Front row left to right: Carl Gargan, Alex Woodcock, Gary Dunning, Elliott Burnett, Kevin Martin, Adam Rood (captain), Mike Thompson, Tom Kinsella. Squad not present: Matt Hughes, Steve Kelly and Craig Williams.

As South Liverpool FC approach the LCFA Challenge Cup Final against Cheshire League outfit Garswood United, they are on a fine run of form, unbeaten since the first day of March, scoring 26 goals in the ensuing seven games. A 7-1 win at a weakened Upton AA was their highest score with two goals for Carl Gargan, while there was also a 6-0 win at Blacon YC with hat-tricks for Cameron Dalton (who now has 32 goals for the season) and Alex Woodcock, and a 3-0 home win over local rivals Mossley Hill, with goals from Gary Pollard and Mike Thompson adding to an own goal. The only dropped
points came at bottom club Heswall where, despite a Cameron Dalton opener, Heswall levelled with a controversial penalty and South ended the game with nine men. The reserves look unlikely to get promotion from the 3rd Division of the West Cheshire League after consecutive home defeats to the top two clubs, Hale Reserves (1-0 to a penalty) and league champions Rainhill Town (51 with a goal from Francis Evans). There have also been two resounding wins, 7-2 against Marshalls Reserves, including another two goals from Evans and two from Chris Bramell, and 3-1 against Kirkby Town Railway with goals from Neil Hooson, Chris Bramell and
Curtis Cummins. The youth team have reached the final of the West Cheshire League youth cup and will play championselect Bootle for the fifth time this season! An exciting 3-2 win over Widnes Vikings in the semifinal saw the team come back from 2-1 down with a dominant second half performance. South had taken the lead through the speedy Jamie Clair but Widnes had the edge by half-time. Two late headed goals by Alex Griffiths saw South through but they will have their work cut out in the final as Bootle have already inflicted three heavy defeats on South’s youngsters this season.

the game. From the kick-off you could sense a sharpness in the visitors approach and a crispness in their passing and it evident that this was going to be a competitive game. With the back three of Currie, McCartney and Henney looking competent and solid, Kirkpatrick and Flanagan comfortable on the ball in central midfield, ably assisted by the hard working Boakes and complemented by the workrate of Allen and Mooney on the flanks, with the lively Mogale and the threatening Eddie Baker up front, there was an attractive balance to the side.

The Croft reaction was to take the game to Xavs and to up the tempo paid off when Kirkpatrick fired home with a peach of a free kick from thirty yards sending the continued on page 19
