To celebrate we are (amongst other things) holding our inaugural Golf Day with Lee Park Golf Club in aid of Sunflowers charity (see back page for details)
IT’S OUR 11TH BIRTHDAY! Yes, 11 years old! Doesn’t time fly? As many of you know it started off as a “bright idea” when we were working together at the Liverpool Echo and came to fruition in July 2006 and we started by distributing 8,000 copies (now 15,000 copies) of the West Derby and Croxteth Park LINK. In 2007 we launched South Liverpool LINK (now 28,000 copies) and the Liverpool LINK now has a total monthly distribution of 43,000. We have firmly established ourselves as a favourite community paper and we remain a totally independent business. We are the first to
recognise that the success of The LINK is entirely down to you – our readers and our advertisers. So we would like to thank you all for your constant support and loyalty over the last 11 years. We thank you, our readers, for supporting our advertisers. We would also like to thank all our regular contributors who have helped us so much over the years with their great articles: Stephen Guy (whose wonderful local history articles continue to inform and entertain); Anton Valdemart for his Strange Tales; Jim Stanway (South Liverpool FC); Peter
Harrison (Alder FC); Mick Titherington (Stoneycroft FC); Paul Coshott (Fighting Fit); Chris Thomas (Liverpool Sefton Hockey Club); Jade Ainsworth (Life ‘n’ Style); all the other readers who kindly send in articles and, of course, Peter (my husband) who does all our competitions/quizzes and who writes and edits many of our articles for us. And where would we be without our designers and printers and of course our distribution team? Here’s to the next 11 years! Best wishes and many thanks to you all, Moira, Dawn, Carol and Colette
DOWN ON THE FARM
By Stephen Guy, West Derby Society
UP to about 50 years ago local urban farms and smallholdings provided produce for their communities as well as wider
markets. Housing developments to rehouse people from inner areas of Liverpool started in the 1920s and continued after the Second World War. Land became increasingly
sought-after in the suburbs, a process that continues today. Any property with adjacent land was targeted by developers, particularly at a time when local authorities built their own houses for rent. Sometimes residents were ousted and long-standing communities wiped off the map. One example was Mercer Place, a cluster of Georgian terraced cottages nestling in market gardens off Deysbrook Lane. In the early 1960s Liverpool Corporation issued compulsory purchase orders. It was claimed the houses were slums but in reality it was the land that was wanted. In 1963 a student compiled a fascinating illustrated study of the farms and smallholdings still operating in West Derby.
These included notably Croxteth Hall Home Farm and also such long-vanished working farmsteads as Rice Farm, Oak Farm, Mab Lane Farm, Beech Dairy Farm and nurseries in Almonds Green and eyfield ad Questionnaires completed by farmers and smallholders offer unique insights into a period of our semi-rural past coming to an end. Oak Farm, on Oak Lane, was part of the 7th Earl of Sefton’s estate. In November 1963 the 10-acre farm had been run by the same family for 45 years. Employing just two people, the farmer wrote: “Over the last 20 years we have lost 90 acres of land and have concentrated more on livestock in the yard, mainly pigs.” Continued on page 4

Older residents fondly remember milk deliveries from a horse and cart until the early 1970s. The survey reports that until August 1959 35 milking cows were kept. In 1963 milk was purchased for sale and the old dairy used for battery hens. I have fond memories

Local group raises charity funds at mountain hike
A letter from West Derby Rotary Club IN the March edition of the LINK you included an article about a planned Celebration Lunch in aid of Marie Curie to be held at the Devonshire House Hotel on the 30th March. To say that the lunch was a success is an understatement as the total amount raised was £10,300. This included a major contribution from Barclays Bank, including money raised from a e ti ets s ld by members of Barclays’ staff. he a e in l ded prizes kindly
contributed by T. J. Hughes which alone raised £900. 150 people attended and the entertainment included a talk by Nora Button and songs by Tricia Liedl. Nora’s talk was about the Liverpool Theatre School which she founded many years ago and she was awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool in 2009. Also present as guests were Pete Price and actress Claire Sweeney. Many things add together to make functions such as
this so successful and this includes the article in the LINK for which the Rotary Club of West Derby are indebted.
LOCAL businessman Keith McGowan of Old Swan Fireplace Centre with partner Debbie Murphy (pictured here – centre couple), George Murphy (far right) and Geoff Murphy (far left) recently undertook the 11th annual Hope Mountain Hike to raise funds for the Liverpool Broad Green Heart and Chest Hospital. he hi ed iles a ss fi e a e s fields ta in the h s minutes, and are pictured at the top of Hope Mountain near Wrexham. Keith said: ‘This was a long day and at one point we went into and out of a quarry which we thought would never end! “Very well done to 73-year-old George h assed the finish line in tes be e we did! “The sun was shining, the weather was in our favour and all in all we had a fabulous day.”

Cat of the month – Heys Dog of the month – Hugo
GARSTON Animal Rescue is looking for a kind forever home for this lovely cat who’s spent almost the last two years camping outside Heys Court in Garston. The staff there have been brilliant caring for this cat, providing food and shelter for him, but now it’s time he had a proper home. He has definitely been someone’s pet at some stage before, in desperation, he
sought food and shelter with the kind people at Heys Court where the staff named him Heys. Now he’s been neutered and microchipped, he’s
waiting patiently for someone, maybe someone just like you, to give him the home he surely deserves after living on the streets for all this time. If you would like more information about him then please call the Charity on 0151 494 0470 or 07745 167170, or email us on info@garstonanimalrescue. com to make arrangements to come and see him.
HUGO is a two-year-old Terrier Cross who is quite a cheeky boy. He loves to play, one of his favourite things being leaping on the brush with glee whenever anyone wants to do a spot of cleaning! He is at Dogs Trust through no fault of his own, and is looking for a kind and patient family to become a part of. Hugo is looking for a family that will show him kindness – he has had some
ill advised handling in the past and needs someone with patience who will guide him into his new life. If you think Hugo could be
the four-legged friend you are looking for, you can visit Dogs Trust Merseyside on Whiston Lane, Huyton, L36 6HP. Open 12pm-4pm every day except Wednesdays, when it is closed. You can also call on 0300 303 0292, 8am-8pm Monday-Friday and 9am5pm Saturday and Sunday. www.dogstrust.org.uk.

The most important meeting in modern music history ...
FROM Wednesday July 5 to Sunday July 9, St Peter’s Church and Bishop Martin CE Primary School in Woolton will open their doors to welcome the world as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the most important meeting in modern music history! On 6th July 1957, when
a young Ivan Vaughan introduced John Lennon to Paul McCartney, no-one dreamed that this meeting between two seemingly ordinary Liverpool lads at St Peter’s Church Fete would result in the birth of the Beatles and would go on to change the world. The 60th anniversary of
the “fete-ful” meeting that took place on what is now the layin field ish Martin CE Primary School and in St Peter’s Church Hall will be celebrated over the fi e days The Church, where John was a choirboy, the Church Hall, where Paul ‘auditioned’ to join John’s band and
the bell tower where John once tried his hand at bellringing will be open with free admission, tours, refreshments and live music. On the day of the anniversary itself, Thursday 6th, there will be a recreation of events from 60 years ago including a traditional Garden Fête in the school grounds with the crowning of the rose queen, a procession around the village led by the Quarrymen, and a Grand Dance in the church hall organised by The Cavern Club. During the week, there will be a full programme of
events including live music from The Quarrymen, The Prellies, and the Babyfaced Beatles, tours of the church, church hall and bell tower, a Beatles singalong, a special screening of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ and the opportunity to purchase exclusive souvenirs and hear the bellringers chiming Beatles tunes on the church bells. The week will end with a special Beatles themed church service and party in the church hall. The events of that day, 60 years ago, showed that magic can happen anywhere, even at a local village fête, when a
community comes together. The importance of community is still a major theme of the mission of St Peter’s Church and the ethos of Bishop Martin CE Primary School, and we are all excited to welcome the world as we prepare to celebrate our community and this very special anniversary. We hope you can come and join us! For further details on all the anniversary celebrations see our website at www.beatlesatstpeters. co.uk or contact us at beatlesatstpeters@gmail. com

people living with cancer throughout Merseyside) in Aigburth as our charity for this fundraising event. The golf day is open to ladies and gentlemen (pairs) and we are hoping you will support this really worthy cause (For full details please see the main advert on this page). Without our advertisers there wouldn’t be a LINK. We know that you have enjoyed receiving your free copy of The LINK for many years and we have enjoyed bringing you, our local community, details of local services, local stories and what’s on.

About Sunflowers SUNFLOWERS is an independent registered charity (no. 516462) with a single aim: to support local people affected by cancer. We operate from our HQ at 21 Aigburth Road, L17 4JR, and in 2016 we celebrated achieving 30 years of supporting cancer patients, survivors and carers in Merseyside. Our services are free or highly subsidised (max charge £5). Anyone over 18 who lives in Merseyside and is affected by cancer can register. That includes cancer patients, survivors and carers and there’s no need for a doctor’s referral. We are open Monday to Friday 10-4pm. We also operate some events and courses in the evenings and at weekends throughout the year. We have around 400 clients at any one time and deliver over 150 cancer support interventions each week, with the vast majority of our services being provided by volunteers.
The services we provide aim to help our clients maintain or improve their mental wellbeing and physical health and to lead a healthy lifestyle. The services we provide have changed over the years and currently we offer counselling, complementary therapies, exercise classes, ‘Get Well Stay Well’ day retreat, art and craft therapies, support groups and social opportunities It costs roughly £100,000 per annum to run our service and sadly our NHS funding is in the process of being withdrawn entirely as a result of the recent local NHS cuts. We are within a hair’s breadth of being sustainable, meaning that with more development, investment and time, we could soon achieve the position of not needing to rely on NHS funding to remain open.

About Lee Park GC LEE Park Golf Club is a challenging mature parkland course, where accurate driving is essential for par golf. ‘Best parkland greens seen’ says their independent R & A agronomist. The main greens are in play all year – great drainage – and never closed. It has a deserved reputation as the’ Friendliest Club on Merseyside’ see independent golfer’s reviews on GolfShake website. The course is now recognised as a wildlife oasis; in 2015 the club came second to Royal St David’s in the UK Golf Club of the Year for the Environment and then in 2016 came second to Carnoustie in the UK Operation Pollinator award. Our other claim to fame
is that in the early history of Lee Park, when John Lennon formed The Quarrymen at the age of 16 in the summer of 1956, he played at the l b thei fi st e e aid appearance! Paul McCartney made his debut with the group in October 1957 at 15 years of age, George Harrison at 14 years of age and Stuart Sutcliffe at 17 years of age. hei fi st ll ti e drummer was Pete Best, who joined in August 1960 and was then replaced by Ringo Starr in August 1962. After several name changes – including the Silver Beetles they finally by st become the Beatles – their name changed as a tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets – and the rest, as they say, is history!
