CAR PARK CHARGES
While traders in Brook Street are angry about proposed parking charges, the opposite is true in Hoole. Local businesses are seemingly happy that the car park at the back of Faulkner Street will no longer be free. We have to admit that car park was normally filled in the morning and stayed that way all day, so maybe the charges will allow more visitors to find a spot? In this edition we also have Hoole History, gardening, thought for the month with Andy Glover, financial column, community listings and much more.

Tragic death in Hoole house fire
An inquest has been opened following the tragic death of a Hoole man in a house fire over the Easter weekend. David Walker died when the blaze ripped through the house in Phillip Street on Good Friday evening. It is believed that four people were inside the property at the time, all of whom were able to evacuate the burning terraced house. Sadly, 52-yearold Mr Walker died as a result of his injuries. There were injuries to Steven Ison, 52, who had severe burns to his arms and Simon Brocklehurst, 49, who was treated for smoke inhalation. Detectives are now working closely with fire service to establish the cause of the fire.

Beware fake roofers Police are urging residents to be vigilant after reports of bogus cold callers have been sighted in Kingsway. The scammers turn up, telling people they have an issue with their roof and are asking for money up front and not returning to complete the work. According to PCSO Jenna Tapley they state they claim have been doing work nearby or at a neighbour’s house and allege that the occupant has loose tiles or urgent work needs completing. PCSO Tapley is urging people not to accept services from doorstep traders and never give money up front. Please call 101 with any reports of suspicious behaviour or sightings. Please try to get descriptions of vehicles and registrations of any vehicle they have. Please look out for your elderly neighbours.

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH
Spring is here
After a long cold winter we can welcome a variety of trees, shrubs and perennials that flower in May.
Laburnum x watereri is a smallish tree (4 to 8 metres tall) with long racemes of bright yellow flowers in late spring. Note that all parts of the tree are poisonous including the seeds so not one to plant where small children or animals are around. However the flowers are stunning and if you had time to train over an arch you could have a mini Laburnum tunnel similar to the famous one at Bodnant gardens. Clematis Montana is a climber, very vigorous and can drape itself over 4 fence panels! It is covered in pink or white flowers which are slightly scented and will flower in sun or shade. Best in a moisture retentive soil and if it gets too large, take the shears to it immediately after flowering. Shrubs flowering in May include Spirea Goldflame or Golden Princess. These low growing mounded shrubs are good in sun or partial shade and any soil. The new foliage has orange or yellow leaves in early spring and bright pink flowers in summer. Perennials include the large flowered Paeonies in flower in May. They take time to clump up but look stunning. Will grow in sun or part shade and best in moisture retentive soils. Put plant supports around the foliage to keep it from falling over. On a smaller scale, the Silene vulgaris or Bladder Campion is perfect for the edge of a rockery or raised bed in sun. You can see it flowering on cliff paths in this country but it can do well in gardens too. Jobs to be doing in the garden in May include doing the Chelsea Chop! Perennials that flower later in the season such as Heleniums or Astrantias can be cut back to delay flowering. If you have 2 plants cut one back and leave the other to extend the season. Put straw around Strawberries to protect the fruit. Keep your potatoes earthed up to improve yields and continue to plant succession of salad seeds like lettuce and radishes for a continuous supply. If you would like to visit gardens look out for gardens open under the National Gardens Scheme where all proceeds go to charities including Marie Cure Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support. Framley in Neston is open on 7th May with lovely mature woodland underplanted for spring, paths around the 5 acre garden will take you to a sunken garden and an intriguing pond in the woodland. Tirley Garth near Tarporley is open on the afternoon of 13th and 20th May. This Arts and Crafts garden has 20 acres to explore, including thousands of Rhododendrons and Azaleas out in May.

MESSY CHURCH BY THE REV ANDY GLOVER Every now and then, when I have an evening off, I switch on the TV to watch something that requires no effort. You know what I mean a programme you can watch and not have to work out who the killer was or why did that person do that to another character in the programme! As I flick through the channels, I immediately wonder why I bothered. Every programme is either something that has been on before or something I would never want to watch. Of course the other alternative is a programme about people who are singing, dancing, skating, or playing football. It seems as though the whole world has become obsessed with becoming famous and to achieve that you have to get noticed. Saturday nights in May sees the ultimate type of show I’m thinking of back on TV where this is played out before the nation – Britain’s Got Talent! Since the phenomena that is Susan Boyle back in 2010 the show IMHO seems to have lost its way! I can’t help but think, “What is all this doing to people?” Lots of people all wanting to ‘live the dream’ and ‘get noticed’. Yet they’re often the subject of ridicule where they don’t seem to care. I wonder if these people who crave fame and fortune do so because their lives are often empty and without hope. To be famous is now a career choice reinforced by the media’s obsession with celebrities and the lives they live which are played out in gossip magazines every week! I was recently reflecting and thinking how good it is to know Jesus and to have a relationship with God that is meaningful and real; in April it will have been 35 years since I first entered in this relationship,
28 Tel 01244350398
a relationship that answers the deepest longings people have to be loved and accepted for who they really are. I began to wonder if we have something so good, something that people need to hear about, what is it that stops us from ‘getting noticed’ for our faith? I don’t mean by performing on the stage but by living out our faith in a way that is visible for others to see. Here in Hoole and Chester many churches run projects and activities that are fuelled by faith, these seek to serve the local needs of our community. I like to call these “bowl and towel” projects. This is because of an amazing incident that we can read about from
the life of Jesus found in chapter 13 of John’s gospel where Jesus washes the feet of his 12 disciples, he serves each disciple by taking a bowl and towel and meeting this basic need. (Remember they lived in Palestine a hot and dusty land where feet would get very dirty and smelly!) He did this menial task to demonstrate his love for them; for the churches in Hoole and Chester our community projects are an expression of our love and God’s love for the people who access these projects who have very practical and real issues that need help in addressing. Jesus once described Christians using the metaphor of light, as light shines in the darkness so the church needs to be like a lamp stand from which this light can give out the

Andy began at Hoole Baptist Church, on Westminster Road, as Youth Pastor, before becoming the Pastor and now Team Leader. light needed so that darkness is expelled. A light can also be a guide helping to navigate ships through dangerous terrain and coast lines – a Lighthouse stops ships from crashing onto unseen rocks and so becoming shipped wrecked. Whether we demonstrate the love of God in our words and actions and help bring guidance to those times in life where it’s potentially a tricky navigation, we need the light in our lives to shine brightly, let’s get noticed, not necessarily by appearing on talent shows, but by living in such a way that we make a difference! This was one of the reasons why we renames our building here in Hoole as the “Hoole Lighthouse Centre” (HLC) - the building is a resource for the community and a place where we can demonstrate God’s love in work and action!! On Sundays we still use the building on the 2nd and 4th Sunday and we have just started Messy Church on the 2nd Sunday at 10.30am. On the 4th Sunday Creative Space and Tech Lounge is open in HLC. On the 1st and 3rd Sunday Moring’s we are gathering at Chester Catholic High School over in Handbridge – start time is 10.30am! You’d be very welcome to all or some of these events!

Charges introduced at Hoole car park Business Owners of Hoole are welcoming news of parking charges to be introduced at Bishops St Shoppers Car Park, Hoole. The car park provides over 50 spaces for Hoole shoppers looking to spend with local traders. Historically, many of those spaces have already been taken before 8am or overnight by residents, people looking for free access to the train station for their commute, those working in the Chester area or staff from local businesses, leaving little space for shoppers and diners. With the closure of the banks and medical centre, business on the high street in Hoole have felt the pinch and with vigilant Traffic Wardens patrolling, the area has been gaining a reputation as being difficult to access. Many Hoole businesses contributed to the Cheshire West and Chester Parking Consultation presenting ideas ranging from completely free for up-to 4 hours to small fees imposed immediately upon parking. The Association Love Hoole has also been negotiating with the council for a business only parking area to be trailed to relieve the pressure from the shoppers car park and so businesses do not put increased pressure on residential parking areas. There was an initial concern by many that the council may implement charges similar to those seen in the city centre, thankfully the new system
seems to suit shoppers but many businesses have commented that no charge from 6pm- 8am would suit residents better than the proposed ÂŁ1 overnight charge. It is important that all customers and residents of Hoole are catered for in terms of parking without the cost putting people off. Ensuring everyone can enjoy going to their favourite butcher, after dropping their shoes off to be re-heeled, stopping for a spot of lunch or a hair-cut or perusing the many fantastic independent shops the area offers. Jess Gore, of erj Boutique, said: “We are very pleased with the proposal re the Bishops Street Car Park as this review is well overdue. Many potential customers cut their shopping experience with us short due to parking timings and three customers were ticketed last week alone. Those who petition this because they park there for working will just have to park a little further away which is not the end of the world, business comes first.â€? Written clarification has been sought by a number of business owners regarding picking up and deliveries at the back of the shops in the car park and hopefully this will be confirmed very soon. Hoole business owners are looking forward to seeing a more regular flow of happy customers enjoying their time in Hoole.

Hoole Rum Festival was a sunny success Guests to the inaugural Hoole Rum Festival welcomed summer in style, enjoying beaming sunshine and some smooth tunes as they tasted their way through around 80 rums from all around the world. First of its kind to grace the Hoole Community Hall, the rum festival offered its patrons a selection of different kinds of rum. Brands like Ron Abuelo Anejo, Plantation, Diplomatico and Pampero were represented, with ticket-holders being able to taste as many as they wanted. The whole Community Hall had been utilised for the festival, with scores of tables for the different varieties rum, and experts behind them pouring the tasters for eager festival-goers. Chris Matheson, the Labour MP for Chester also popped in to check out the festival and enjoyed his visit speaking to local residents and taking in the sunshine. Kingdom Thenga, the main organiser of the event, said: “For the first even of this kind in Hoole, we’re really pleased with the day! We had some great people attend, the atmosphere was fantastic and the weather couldn’t have been better! “We’ve received so much positive feedback for the event, which is much appreciated. We can’t wait for the next one, so watch this space!”

Hoole History Corner Hoole History and Heritage Society looks at the life and works of Hoole ironfounder
I
f you walk along the canal tow path into Chester you will see a plaque on the City Road Bridge, showing that the ironwork was provided by J. Mowle & Co. in 1863. James Mowle’s foundry was in Egerton Street but he lived in Hoole where he played a significant part in the life of the local community.
been displaced from their previous site on the south side of the original Flookersbrook Bridge by the arrival of the railways in 1840. VARIETY OF PRODUCTS During the next 50 years, advertisements illustrate the variety of products made at the foundry: l copper and iron pans for brewing and the manufacture of salt, sugar, and soap; l steam engines (travelling if necessary) plus the machinery for thrashing, winnowing, and bagging corn ready for market; l machinery for all kinds of engineering work including gas and waterworks, railways, mines, and roads. An article in Farmers Magazine for 1855 suggests that a steam engine built for Viscount Combermere was ground-breaking. An advertisement in 1877 shows that the winding engine and associated steam driven apparatus at Theresa Colliery in Bagillt were built by the foundry. The firm also installed an engine in a lead rolling mill in Bristol in 1880 which was not replaced until 1956. Their work was not just a local operation.
James Michael Boxer Mowle was born on 5 July 1824 at Deal, Kent, and when his family moved to Hull he went to college there and then spent two years in Germany working in their heavy metal industry. After coming to Chester, he married Elizabeth Brocklebank, the daughter of the Rev. J. Brocklebank, the Vicar of Delamere, at Plemstall Church on 26 July 1852. The first advertisement for the iron founding business, under the name Williams & Mowle, appeared in February 1851 when he was 27 years old. His partner was Robert Williams, previously from the Roodee Foundry. Their foundry and adjoining smith’s workshops had only recently been built in Egerton Street for J. Newall & Co. who had 40 Tel 01244350398 www.hooleroundabout.com Hoole History and Heritage Society always welcomes enquiries and information about our past.
JAMES MICHAEL BOXER MOWLE (1824 - 1912) - IRONFOUNDER
der James Michael Boxer Mowle ADOLF By 1863, James Mowle was the sole owner of the foundry which in 1871 was employing 70 men and 150 boys. In 1883 his son, John Adolf came into the business. James retired in 1891 and a new partner
was recruited. The firm then became Mowle & Meacock and existed until 1906 when the foundry was demolished. Egerton Street School was built on the site. In the 1861 Census, the Mowle family were living in Huntington Road (Sandy Lane?) in Boughton; an 1864 Directory shows them at No.3 Egerton Terrace in Hoole. In 1866, Martha Hamilton, whose family owned much of the land in Hoole at that time, released the area on which not only was All Saints Church to be built, but also the three large houses to its east; “Grove Villa” (today’s Academy, formerly the site of the Library), “The Oaklands” and “Golden Grove” (The Dene Hotel). Golden Grove was actually the field name given in the Tithe Map to this stretch of land along Hoole Road. James Mowle moved into “Grove Villa” and renamed it “The Cedars”.
Contrary to the Church’s official guidebook, The Cedars was never used as a Vicarage. The first incumbent of the Church since its opening in 1867 was the Rev. Frederick Anderson, who lived at No.5 Egerton Terrace until a Vicarage was built in 1885 in Vicarage Road. James Mowle played a prominent part in the life of Hoole. He was elected in May 1864 to the new Local Board for the regulation of affairs in the Township of Hoole, and although he lost his seat in 1871, he was re-elected in 1874. He was Chairman of the Management Committee of the Lecture Hall and Reading Room from 1869, and his name occurs frequently in reports of local activities. He was also a member of Chester Town Council. As an active supporter of the Liberal Party he was named along with many others as a “briber” in the enquiry into “treating” during the Chester election of 1880 for “donating” £25.00 so that drinks could be bought for potential voters. James and Elizabeth Mowle had 7 children and at least 2 of them died at a young age. Elizabeth died in 1870 at the age of 37 after 18 years of marriage soon after they had moved into The Cedars. James re-married 2 years later to Mary Ann Ralphs who herself died 4 years later. The family moved to Victoria Crescent in Queens Park where James died in 1912 aged 87. The next meeting of HH&HS is on Wednesday 23rd May, the topic is ‘An Update on the June 2017 Walking Tour around Hoole and Boughton’ and the speaker is Ralph Earlam.
