    Welcome to the forum.
    Many thanks lindylou..
    I have on there a short video of the church yard at St Marys Church, showing the Childes grave along with the Ireland Blackburnes grave, taken this year around June-July I think.
    There is still so much more I intend to put up on the site,, it's just finding the time and getting the right weather..
    I understand from one of the guys who does voluntary work around the churchyard,, that the coins being thrown/placed onto the Childes grave are a kind of bring good luck or the type of thing why you throw coins into a wishing well, also may be as a lasting heartfelt remembrance of the Childe of Hale too.
    The coins that are on the grave do get removed now and again by a member of the church-with no disrespect and all that to the Childe,, the money goes into the church coffers for maintaining the church yard.
    I have some recent pictures of grave renovation going on by some of the volunteers. The graves are several hundred years of age as you may be aware of. The volunteers are removing weeds and overgrown grass from around the edges of the old graves which I must say,, do look better for it..
    I'll get these pictures onto my pc and upload them here in the next 24 hours..

    Hale should become part of Liverpool, It's closer to Speke than places like Runcorn and Widnes.

    The Cannon on High Street though should be made operational.

    Here are a few pics of the voluntary work going on at the back of the church yard..





    They were taken at the start of September.

    This video I made was done around June/July.. It starts off with the Childe Of Hales grave.

    Is that you, then, are you John Reppion? If so, good work.

    When I'm next up the tower at St Mary's, I'll get some pictures from the top of the tower.

    I was thinking of taking some visitors there. Does anybody know if the 'Childe of Hale' pub still lays on meals? I had many a good scoff there in the past. No wonder the Childe of Hale was 9 foot 3 inches.
