Good to see, Ged. Thanks. That's an odd graphic that they have for the 1804 Dingle duel. It looks more like a couple of chaps in Tudor doublets going at it with rapiers and daggers, whereas the duellists in question, Sparling and Grayson, used flintlock pistols. I don't believe the duel took place at the Ancient Chapel but in the dell of the old dingle, going here by Robert Griffith's History of the Royal and Ancient Park of Toxteth They also need to correct the spelling of "St. Domingo's."

Steven, glad you weren't in there singing.

Hope that isn't the reason for the attack either.

"The Poets Corner in Park Hill Road, Toxteth was sprayed with bullets at 2am."

Does the gunman not like poets or is it pubs they don't like?

Just being facetious. :rolleyes:

Which of course is the only word in the alphabet with all the vowels in the correct order ;)

They organised the trip to the Ancient Chapel, the Turner Home and the Dingle Tunnel.
I bluffed my way in!
It was well organised. They even gave out notes, and about 4 or 5 pages of "A Tram Ride to Dingle" were included (without saying where they came from).
And no plug in that list of books! :disgust:

[Ged]

How cheeky - not you, them.

You should have made a fuss. If they'd confronted you about how you bluffed your way in, you could have said you were tipped off that they were going to use pages from your book, they might've re-imbursed you in some way, even if it was offering you places on any future events FOC.

[shytalk]

Accept that as a compliment Phillip. my sister recently brought me a copy, I really enjoyed it, thanks.:handclap:

[PhilipG]

Thanks Ged and Shy.
The 'funny' thing was that one of the organisers (no names, no pack drill) knows me very well.

Hi PhilipG

As a fellow author, I can sympathize that you were not given proper credit for your work. You should write a letter of complaint. Maybe you have already done so. I also concur with Shy that your book is great, mate. I was very pleased to get you to sign a copy for me when we met in the Dingle in May. :PDT11

Just found this thread, cheers for the link Ged, I had forgot that I had sent in a couple of photos to them, on page 2 of the Images link, theres an old photo of me and my wife, and an even older photo of the Beaufort Street School (Bewy Board) nativity play, from about 1969, that one made it into The Echo.

Great stuff Paddyryan.

A long time ago you may recall quite well
From a needle to anchor they used to sell
In a variety of shops with the best attention
I can’t name them all, but many I can mention
There were places of worship, places to drink
There was a factory close by where they bottled the ink
Familiar the trade mark, a gracious white swan
Two trams served this route, 45 and 21

The facilities offered were beyond compare
The only street in the city to boast its own fair
A ride on the high flyer, terrific the thrill
And the dusty flour men coming out of the Wilson Mill
The Domestic Mission, the Park Palace, the Florrie
The cow butter stores on the corner of Warrie
Wringers repaired with new rollers and cogs
The animal clinic for sick cats and dogs

Feeling off colour or a pain in your tummy
There is Kennedy’s Chemist on the corner of Northummy
Always well stocked with medical goods
And bad teeth were extracted by dentist Mr Woods
Woolfendens, and Denny’s pawnshop – they accepted pledges
Oven fresh bread from Johnson’s and Black Ledges
Irwin’s, The Maypole in competition with Gates
Spareribs and cabbage from old Postlethwaites

Clarkson’s for bedding, new boots from Lee’s
Or the running shutters, and flowers from Bee’s
John Cook the pork butcher made delicious spice balls
And the tanner hop, in Jack Quinn’s dance hall
The hollow, the big step, quite close to forge crack
The Rat House, the Crows Nest to knock a pint back
Then there was The Flat Iron, The Brass Bars and The Weathercock
Old Clement Troop’s shop for a second hand frock

Bleach, soap and soda to help with the chores
Gas mantles, paraffin and candles from Law’s
Bob’s for a shave, a trim or a shingle
All these facilities in one street in the Dingle
A street full of memories, they linger still sweet
But progress has now changed, the face of Mill Street

[ChrisGeorge]

Nice poem, Ged. Thanks for posting it.

[Waterways]

I remember a lot of what was in the poem. ..and Mill St was replicated in Park Road which ran parallel to it.

[Ged]

A couple of good pics here by Springy of Dingle point rocky outcrop showing as it was on the original shoreline and then on the main path of the garden festival site which in itself became Riverside Drive as there now.

Gutted, need to register :shock:

I'll lift the pics onto here tomorrow then. (Ken) Springy's ok about it.

I have found a photo of Micawber Street , Dingle. I took this over 30 years ago!!

[Ged]

Great pic Ronijayne.

[Paddy]

See the side car on the bike, I remember being taken out on one. Who's the kid Ronnie.

[Ged]

Not much of a sidecar that, not like the one that Olive in 'on the buses' veered off in another direction. That one on the pic looks more like a bread tray :)

[Waterways]

Nice looking little girl, with hot-pants on too.

The side car is just a chassis. You could legally rise a bike over 250cc as a learner if it had a side car - or chassis. Young kids would put them on, pass their test and take them off.

The houses at the bottom in Northumberland St are still there, the rest have been demolished. I can't remember the name of the street cutting through Micawber St.

I can't either and it is driving me mad. Was it Weller Street?

I looked at the side car thing, it has no 'car' bit. Maybe for luggage?

[Ronijayne]

My nephew will be thrilled he was a nice looking girl when he was three:rolleyes:lol

It was Weller Street !, just found an old map :hug:

[gregs dad]

I`ve seen a window cleaner years ago with his ladders on a flat sidecar like that

Just been through my "family history research" and found I had relatives living in Micawber Street number 52 in 1881 !.....anyone remember them :rolleyes:

I am sorry for your loss Paddy.

Could be what that is GD. We had a team of brothers who did our windows. Fronts only one week and fronts AND backs the next.

You can see it clearly on my photo, pity there is no street sign. Weller Street was the only thing I could think of so I was pretty sure but not CERTAIN. Thanks

Was Weller in Dickens books?

He has three sons of his own now!
