The website, Pearsons of Liverpool will soon be up and running. I received an E-mail today from the MD of Trans-Pennine Publishing for me to carry on full speed with the website now that everything is up and running.

As soon as the website is done (couple of weeks, maybe less), I'll post it here for all to see. The book will be an amazingly low run of just 1500 copies so if you are after a copy then let me know. Although I'll be taking orders via the website, if any of you are certain you want one, PM or e-mail with your full name and address and I'll add it to the list.

Been looking through some of my old Echo suppliments. This one's from 1987. Have you contacted this chap Brother Cad, is he still alive?

It says Milners safe works but I knew it was the Phoenix so did it become this later?

Now that's an interesting post - I'll send that on Ged

Milners safe works was virtually flattened in WW2 so the company had to move down the road to the Phoenix at the bottom of Overbury Street.

Sunnidays Coaches Ltd was also a subsidary of Pearsons. Got those pictures on my PC (glass plate quality) along with another 197 I'm dying to show but can't

Entwhistle Heights was built on the site of Milner's Safe Works.

Ged.
I've got quite a few Echo supplements, but not that one.

[shytalk]

Milners was a bit further back than Entwistle, Milner house was behind Entwistle Heights, not as tall.10 story I think.
The mosaic entrance with Milners name in it was still there up 'till the 80's, might be worth a check to see if it still exists.

[Ged]

There is a pic in 'A pub on every corner' or 'it all came tumbling down', one of Freddy O'Connors books anyway showing both Entwistle Heights and the lower Milner House. Midnight it was before I finished looking through those old suppliments including a 1955 centenery Daily Post special which is very thick but the pics don't scan well. It gives the world and local headlines it ran for every year of its existence up to then. Some 'looking back at the war-time' suppliments (where I got that earlier pic from) detail each daily bombing raid on Liverpool and what was hit. The Daily post and Echo must have some cracking pics that could almost rival the records office. I have the recent glossy colour books they issued but they must only scratch the surface.

[Cadfael]

Had a 'near final copy' of the book sent to me today via photocopy in the post. Amazed at the information they have found and spent about 5 hours reading only half of the book so far! So much detail.

When I'm allowed to put a couple of pictures up, I'll display em here.

I have been in talks with the publisher all week and we can finally reveal that the books will be rolling on the presses in December!!

I have set up a temp website for the moment while I work on a new website for the official launch of the book - Pearsons of Liverpool

At the moment, we are looking for just 85 orders for which those 85 orders will guarentee your personal name at the back of the book.

To place an order, please go to the following link:

After the War Was Over - The Pearson's of Liverpool Story - Hayward & Earnshaw

Once we receive 85 orders we can then start the press rolling and start production. In the near future there will be an official launch night which the company will be in Liverpool to meet people and to sign copies of the book. More details nearer the time.

Please mention my website when ordering!

Cheers
Cad.
