St. James's Hall on Lime Street

Hello,

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a general question, but I have been searching (desperately) for a picture of St. James's Hall, on Lime Street -- preferably dating from the 1860s. Have searched the internet using every method I can think of and looked in all the Liverpool books and British theatre books I have access to.

I'll be giving a paper at a conference next Thursday so it's kind of last-minute, but if you can assist in any way I will be very grateful.

All the best,

Brian

The Ocean Monarch Fire 1848

The Ocean Monarch by Liverpool Marine Painter Samuel Walters 

who is buried at Anfield Cemetary

Do you have any information concerning the fire in Liverpool area back in about Nov. 29, 1848?  William Strand (my Great Grand-father) was a seamen on the vessel "New World" and assisted saving citizens on the vessel "The Ocean Monarch".  Any assistance on finding news articles and/or pictures would be appreciated.

Thank you,

I have 2 queries

1 Do you have a photo/info.on the obelisk in Springfield Park in Knotty Ash?

2 Any ideas about a shop, currently empty, in Bold Street.  I think it is no 69,  the upper floors are painted white with blue decoratons?

Will be very grateful

Rushworth`s Request for information

Dear Sirs,

I am a direct descendant of William Rushworth who founded the family organ building business in Liverpool in 1828. A few years later the business expanded into retail musical instruments. The business developed over the years and was very much part of the cultural and artisic life of Liverpool for many years. My brothers ran the business as the fifth generation, but sadly it closed a few years ago.

It has an interesting history and I am collecting as much material as I can find, with a view to writing a book about the family company and those who ran it. I have a reasonable amount of material but am making inquiries to see if I can find more. Do you have any material which might be relevant or ideas where I might find historical papers or other information about the business in Liverpool?

Any ideas you have which might help me in my search would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jonathan Rushworth
