Queries about 3 streets in Liverpool

Dovedale Towers

Hello,

I just have a few queries about 3 streets in Liverpool and hope that you can help me and whether the buildings I am interested in still exist. Can you tell me whether I am correct in my comments below.

The places were all lived in by a child who was sent to Canada in 1897 aged 10 with the Church of England Waifs and Strays Society. This child's descendants are returning to Liverpool and would like to see the places where she lived.

Walton Workhouse, Rice Lane. (I understand that this building is now converted into apartments but parts still exist and could be seen.

Fullwood House Aigburth Road 1890. Think that this building may have been demolished. As the children were moved to Penny Lane. (see below)

Grove Mount, Penny Lane: don't know anything about this.

Any help you can give me would be wonderful.

I look forward to any help.

Good wishes,

Lesley

'Liverpool Weekly Post' on 14th October 1912

Lower Breck House

Hi from Canada:

I have been researching for years trying to find the institution my Father was placed in, at the age of five,

after the death of his Mother. I have finally found him and his sister in 1911 living at a "charitable institution" located at 14 Lower Breck Road.

I am most interested in finding out any history about this

institution and if any records are available.

I have been reading about Lower Breck House, and am wondering if this could have been the institution where they lived. My Father stayed there till he was eighteen, then sent to Canada with Salvation Army Immigrant Children in 1924.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Fazakerley Cottage Homes if "The Liverpool Review" still exists?

I was a resident in Fazakerley Cottage Homes, Liverpool, and we have now have an Association for ex-residents and their offspring. I am the editor of the Association Newsletter and I have been sent two articles which were photocopied from "The Liverpool Review". The articles are dated May 10, 1890 and May 17, 1890. Can you please inform me if "The Liverpool Review" still exists? If it does I would want to ask for permission to print the articles.

I am planning to print these articles in two forms. One is a a stand-alone publication as an A5 booklet, for sale to members of the Association, who will be attending our reunion on Saturday, June 20th 2009, in order to help raise funds to keep our Association going. The other plan is to serialise it in our Newsletter, which is sent out free to members about four times a year. I am wondering if I would be infringing any copyright if I were to produce these publications with
the said articles. I wonder if someone in your Society could comment on anything I have put in this message.

May I take this opportunity to thank you in advance.

Regards,

Edward Schleising.

New book on the history and archaeology of Lancashire

Dear Sir/Madam,

I thought that you, and your members, may be interested in a new book that I have written on the history and archaeology of Lancashire (based on the County Palatine, and therefore including Liverpool/Merseyside and also the Wirral) and surrounding area because it deals with the area around Liverpool in particular. I am originally from the local area but now work as an archaeologist, based at Cambridge University, and have had the help of many local people over the years when carrying out research. Many of the objects that I write about are to be found in the Liverpool Museums.

The book is the product of a number of years of research into the historymand archaeology of the local area. In particular it considers the early history and archaeology of the coast from the Wirral round to Formby, beginning with the first hunter-gatherer groups in the Mesolithic and then the first clearance of the forests (using new pollen evidence). The book also includes evidence for the local prehistoric sites including the Calderstones, with new data and interpretations of the site. Also of interest are 30 new AMS radiocarbon datesfrom the burials of the early Bronze Age, including burials from Wavertree, which give new insights intomthe changing burial practices through the late Neolthic and early Bronze Age. I also include new osteological evidence based on studies of the cremated bone from which, in some cases, it has been possible to determine the sex/age of the person buried. This evidence sheds new light on
associations between burial goods and the sex/age of the person buried.

The book will be of interest to anyone living in and around Liverpool who has an interest in local history and archaeology, and I would be grateful if you could let your members know about it, possibly by forwarding thisn e-mail to your membership list or mentioning it on your website.

If you are interested the book, which costs £19.99 can be obtained on-line through Amazon, from local bookshops or I can arrange to supply a copy if people send me a cheque.

The details of the book are as follows:
