    Ged, that's a funny area to have a late night walk. Odd that I missed you...

    Yes, you're right there dazza, but Steve and Pablo - come on. Anyone worth their salt knows the prozzies are now along Nethy and at the back of the Royal.

    I found myself in town after dropping my daughters off in their boyfriends and thought i'd take a walk through the very atmospheric area of Canning with its mock gas lamps. I think the wet on the cobbles adds to the feeling too.

    Many of the houses have those foot scrapers at the foot of the steps leading to their front doors.

    Some more at the bottom of my 'Streets ahead' page of my site below.

    Cos they've been displaced by all the film crews down Falkner Street. At least now we all know where go - nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more? ; )

    Interesting, dazza. Do you have a time period for that document?

    Hi Chris, unfortunately there's no date attached to the document. It was published in the Liverpool 800 book, by John Belchem. The document ref. at the record office is: LVRO 252 HEA 4/5/2

    It was published in chapter [5] called 'Cosmopolitan Liverpool' describing the diaspora of Liverpool's waterfront. He talks about 'Scandinavian' populations preferring Liverpool to Manchester and refers to two tables dated 1911 & 1920 listed elsewhere. So anytime from there to the WWII, I'd say?

    Thanks, dazza. It looks as if the man whose name appears at the bottom of the document, Dr. W. M. Frazer, Medical Officer of Health and Port Medical Officer of Health, Liverpool, indeed did hold those positions between the wars.

    I never thought to check out his name - nice bit of sleuthing Chris. Dr. William Aldridge Fraser, published a report on the health of merchant seamen in 1937. I think he retired the same year [though I wasn't able to check the full article to confirm].
