  • SI Crosby History 1 – Sixty Years of Service
    Soroptimist International of Crosby 1938 –1998 The sixty years of Soroptimism in Crosby encompass a World War, a technological revolution and many great changes – not least in the position of women in society. What follows is not a comprehensive history of the club. Rather it is a series of glimpses of the past, looking back from 1998 to the activities and preoccupations of members as the club celebrated its major anniversary, then more fully at the events of the past decade. Much of the information about the club’s community service has been drawn from histories prepared in 1968, 1978 and 1988. Hilda Garner, April 1998 1 1938 - Early days and the years of war Soroptimism came to Crosby in May 1938, as the dark clouds of conflict gathered over Europe. Six members of the Soroptimist club of Liverpool came to the Sundene Hotel and explained how Soroptimist Clubs were organised. The first officers were elected and the Soroptimist Club of Waterloo-with-Seaforth received its charter from the Federation President, Miss E. Hawes, in the presence of Miss M.F. Adams, President of the Divisional Union (now the Region) and Miss H. Critchley, the DU Secretary. The Crosby club began with 26 active members. Its first president was the Headmistress of Merchant Taylors’ School for Girls, Miss E. Fordham, and the link between school and club has remained strong. Mrs Margaret Davies, who was headmistress of the school for more than 25 years, is a past president and was a long-serving member of the club into the 1990s.

  • 9 Sefton Historic Character - Analysis
    9 Sefton Historic Character - Analysis 9.1 Field System Broad Type About 26.2% (4046.49 ha) of Sefton has been classified as field system. Much of this is concentrated in the central and south-eastern parts of the district. Figure 17 Current (2003) Field System Sub Type in Sefton (© Crown Copyright and database right 2003. All rights reserved. Ordnance Survey Licence number 100019088. English Heritage). The MHCP only recorded the shape and size attributes of field systems within the borough of Sefton. Further more detailed research would be required to define field types or possible origins. It must be noted that periods of origin assigned to areas of fields during the course of the MHCP are based on intuition and the interpretation of enclosure patterns shown on 20th century and later mapping and do not constitute a detailed or definitive study. The current agricultural landscape is a product of an often complex evolution. In the 19th century in particular large areas of the landscape were remodelled, fields were enlarged and boundaries straightened. 56 Field System (Shape and Number of Area Percentage Size) Polygons (Hectares) Irregular Large 2 18.89 0.47 Semi-regular Large 2 30.32 0.75 Semi-regular Medium 44 622.44 15.38 Semi-regular Small 67 547.06 13.52 Regular Large 6 49.67 1.23 Regular Medium 35 454.79 11.24 Regular Small 208 2323.31 57.42 Total 364 4046.49 100% Table 8 Sefton Current (2003) Field System (Shape and Size Attributes) However, as a general rule: • The smaller and more irregular the field, the more likely that it has medieval or post-medieval origins (as piecemeal enclosure).
