Re: Memories of Garston (Copper Works)
Hello Taffy! I would be interested in anything you might write about the Copper Works in Garston, I believe my Grandfather died whilst working there many years ago, (prior to my birthdate of 1932) Grandparents came from North Wales, and settled in Garston, can't say when sorry, and unfortunatly I know very little about their early years there. The surname was Davies. I wish you well with your research, and Welcome to this great site. I do have the book 'Garston' put out by the Historical Society, I think it's 'Great' I even appear in one of the photo's (top picture on page 103) unfortunatly the info given is incorrect! the party was a VE or VJ day party in 1945, not 1951.
Garston Police Station to close??????
GARSTON Police Station, one of the oldest in Liverpool, faces permanent closure after a shock survey revealed few members of the public ever use it.
The threat to the future of the Victorian station in Heald Street, off St Mary’s Road, has been made in a letter from Merseyside Police Liverpool South commander Andy Cooke., who has announced a public consultation on the closure proposal before any decision.
Last night, former Lord Mayor Cllr Ron Gould said he expected public uproar about the plan.
The first reaction is expected tonight at a meeting of the city council’s Garston Neighbourhood Committee, at the Speke Community Centre, at 5.30pm.
Chief Supt Cooke has been invited to expand on the role and future of Garston Police Station. continues.....

Treasurer quizzed on church theft
Oh dear....
A former parish treasurer has been questioned by police investigating £100,000 allegedly missing from a Liverpool church's accounts.
Janet Crossett, 36, has resigned from her position at St Michael's Church in Garston, after she was arrested on suspicion of theft.
She has been bailed until April while the investigation continues.
The Archdeacon of Liverpool, Ricky Panter, said the diocese was co-operating with the police. continues....

Looks like they won't be getting their roof repaired now. This might prove to be the last straw for the Church as their vicar is not being replaced and they are being merged into a team ministry with All Souls, Springwood, Allerton, and St Mary, Grassendale. Very sad that this should happen to such a venerable old church.
