  • St Faith`S Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000
    1 St Faith`s Church, Great Crosby Confirmation Registers 1901 – 2000 There are two volumes covering the church`s first century, volume 1 covering the period 1901 to 1958 and volume 2 the period 1959 to 2000; volume 2 is not yet full. The registers have entries for a particular confirmation event detailing the names, ages and addresses of those being confirmed (the addresses are not always included for the most recent confirmation candidates). The location of the confirmation service, its date and the Bishop confirming the candidates are given. A number of early male candidates for confirmation came from Merchant Taylors` School which then took boarding pupils. The first volume, for some individuals, mentions when they moved from the district, joined the forces or joined the merchant navy. During the first decade some adults were confirmed privately at the Bishop`s Palace in Liverpool. Services for adults were often held during the latter part of the year and the main confirmation service during March or April. Candidates before WWII would often travel some distance for a confirmation service, in some cases as far as Wigan, Warrington and Rock Ferry. Although most confirmations were conducted by the Bishop of Liverpool or the Bishop of Warrington there have been times when other bishops have conducted the confirmations. Most notable was Lord Runcie of Cuddesdon but in March 1945 the Bishop of the Argentine presided. An interesting feature of the period up to about 1930 is the number of parents who were confirmed shortly before their children were confirmed. In these transcripts some early confirmations are show as having taken place at the Cathedral.

  • Annual Report on Project Activity Year Two: Nov 2016 – Oct 2017
    Red Squirrels United Annual report on project activity Year two: Nov 2016 – Oct 2017 LIFE14 NAT/UK/000467 Action C1 Urban IAS grey squirrel management in North Merseyside Executive Summary Activities under Action C1 have been underway throughout the North Merseyside and West Lancashire area, carried out by the Community Engagement Officer and Red Squirrel Ranger. Staffing issues have meant there has been a 2 month gap in the Ranger post and a new member of staff but the post is now stable and grey squirrel control throughout the designated areas continues. Grey squirrel control continues in the towns through the urban trap loan scheme. Participation in the trap loan scheme has increased in Crosby after a successful urban trap loan workshop but effort now needs to be focused in Southport and Maghull. The Community Engagement Officer has run 18 events and workshops throughout the project area in this time to increase community awareness regarding the impact of grey squirrels as a non-native invasive species, particularly on the red squirrel. There is real passion from the local community to see red squirrels in the Southport parks again and this drives support for grey squirrel control. Red and grey squirrel sightings continue to be received from members of the public and all sightings and grey squirrel control data are recorded in a format approved by Newcastle University for their data analysis. Introduction The North Merseyside and West Lancashire red squirrel population is the southernmost population in mainland England and has provided socio-economic benefits to the local economy through tourism, attracting approximately 300,000 visitors per year.

  • Translocating Isle of Man Cabbage Coincya Monensis Ssp
    Conservation Evidence (2012) 9, 67-71 www.conservationevidence.com Translocating Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis in the sand-dunes of the Sefton coast, Merseyside, UK Philip H. Smith1* & Patricia A. Lockwood2 19 Hayward Court, Watchyard Lane, Formby, Liverpool L37 3QP 213 Stanley Road, Formby, Liverpool L37 7AN *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY This paper describes the results of a translocation rescue of the British endemic Isle of Man cabbage Coincya monensis ssp. monensis from a sand-dune ridge at Crosby, Merseyside, which was about to be excavated as a source of sand for a coastal protection scheme at nearby Hightown. Using methods developed during a 1992 translocation, over eight hundred 1st year plants, together with seed-pods, were moved by volunteers to two protected receptor sites at Crosby and Birkdale in August 2011. Monitoring the following summer located small surviving populations at the receptor sites but mortality of transplants appeared to be over 90%, seed germination and establishment contributing most individuals. Low success at Crosby seemed partly attributable to winter sand-blow and heavy public pressure, while vegetation overgrowth may have been an adverse factor at Birkdale. An unexpected finding was that the original Crosby colony survived the removal of most of its habitat, about 1300 plants being counted in 2012 on the levelled dune area. More than half were small seedlings, presumably derived from buried seed. Also, 234 Isle of Man cabbage plants were discovered on the new coastal defence bund at Hightown, having arisen from propagules transported from Crosby. Other known Sefton duneland colonies at Southport Marine Lake and Blundellsands were also monitored, the former having apparently declined to extinction.

  • Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

    SSC-zine [email protected] Issue 12 Sefton loses a sporting Star July 2015 It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing away of our SSC Sponsors President Neil Edwards. Neil had been fighting illness for quite some time now and was admitted to hospital last Wednesday. On Saturday morning his fight ended with a cardiac arrest. Southport Lions A founder member of the Sports Council, Neil was very actively involved for over 30 years. Allied to his love of cricket he was a truely outstanding supporter of sport in the borough. He was forever dashing of to “Lords” in his capacity of Secretary of the League Cricket Conference, meeting with the well known names of cricket, representing cricket at the Houses of Marcon Parliament and worked tirelessly for the Formby Pool he is leaving behind a huge hole that I don’t believe can be filled by one man. We will miss his dry humour and eloquent speaking, his legal reports and work on the website, his availability to talk to people who might need his assistance and his staunch support where needed. He was never frightened to step up to the plate and fight his corner and ruffled a few feathers in his time. He was another volunteer who retired from work, but instead of relaxing, his volunteering seemed to increase rather than decrease. He became more difficult to get hold of because of all his projects and his devotion to his family. I will miss a great colleague, a fabulous mentor, a man who was very knowledgeable of the workings of sport, but most of all a very close and dear friend.

  • Our Church: Mr W. E. Tyson's Account of the History of St. Nicholas' Church, Blundellsands 1874 to 1920
    Our Church: Mr W. E. Tyson’s account of the History of St. Nicholas’ Church, Blundellsands 1874 to 1920 Mr W. E. Tyson was an active member of St. Nicholas’ Church throughout his long life, serving in many different capacities. Particularly noteworthy was his role as Churchwarden from 1929 until 1961, during which time he managed numerous building and maintenance projects. Mr. Tyson possessed an intimate knowledge of the church building. In this history of the Church, written in 1955, he tells the story of how the Church – “Our Church” as he calls it - came to be built and describes the important efforts that were made to enhance the building during its first half century. In recognition of his exceptional service to St. Nicholas’, Mr. Tyson was made Warden Emeritus in 1961. He died in 1971. Mr. W. E. Tyson Humble origins and an end to temporary solutions On the 25th of September 1874, the Church of St Nicholas’ was consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Chester, and the new parish rejoiced that “God had put it into the heart of His servants to erect this house to his honour and worship.” Over a year had passed since Arnold Baruchson had laid the foundation stone close by the “Iron Church”, and the wealthy suburb had at last a Church worthy of its dignity and importance. Sir William Forwood, one of Liverpool’s most active and successful Lord Mayors dwelling at that time on Burbo Bank Road, at “Ramleh”, records in his autobiography that an American visitor expressed great surprise that people who could afford to live in such fine houses as he saw scattered about, should be content to worship God in a tin Church! But the new Church was actually the third to serve the northern parish by the Mersey, as we must begin our survey, not with the laying of the foundation stone of our present Church that afternoon of September 4th, 1873, nor even with the opening of the “Iron Church” in July, 1870, but almost twenty years earlier, when the Crimean War was approaching its final stages, in 1855-6.
