No, look lad, I told you they are didn't I - those muscles don't scare me.

I scare people with my expression and eyes more than my pecks.
After seeing your pic - I agree. :unibrow: :)
Once I take over all of South Liverpool and name It all Wavertree, I will take Hale Village too back for Merseyside and make plans to resurrect the Childe but make Improvement.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:

Pah, after burning all the churches in the area, the parish of Childwall will spread all the way to Hale as it once did. I will let you keep Hale :PDT_Piratz_26:Quote:

My army called The Wave's of Wavertree will make sure of that.
Once Childwall Is called Wavertree the Abbey will be renamed Wavertree Abbey Obviously and will become one of my many homes.
I will keep the pub though, need that Satelite Tv and Ale makes money and money Is king.
Went to Hale again after not finding anything In Halewood to snap!
Too many country lanes though In between.:034:
Hale Max Hail Max
I tried that way recently accept I went from Woolton to Halewood and that was longer.:eek:Quote:

No wonder I got burned, only fields, farms and nothing else.:eek:

Chris,
I went to your Myspace and then clicked thru to Scouseproud. A lot of work there.
On your YouTube vids you have one of Albert Dock and You are standing by a small hexagonal shaped building. It used to be part of the customs set up.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that in an earlier life I re-roofed that little building. It was during the big renovation of the south docks and I was working for Walsh Roofing (From Huyton) back then. I was sent to do it on me todd with a small ladder and just the tools I could carry.
How things have changed.
Ed
I think that was more Halebank Village.Quote:

I hope you don't mind me sharing a website address with you, which you may be interested in? www.halevillageonline.co.uk
I made the website around 18 months ago while my mother was ill, I needed a release or something to take my mind of her illness-the website was the result..
The site is now into the end of it's second year online and has around 43 thousand hits. Although I am adding new items and material to it,, it is never finished and is always on the move and not static..
I think from the feed back and comments from people in the village, they are fairly pleased to have something online for the village. I know get stopped in the village on a weekly basis asking what has been added or how is the site and your mother.
I have enjoyed reading your comments about Hale Village and your views of the place over the last several months..
There are loads of photographs-colour and black and white, along with various pages of history of locations which are being updated or added to..
If you have any comments good or bad about the website, fire away.

Hi William
Welcome to the forum. I did set up a thread based on your email to me. You will find it at Hale Village. Others are welcome to comment on your site either in this thread on the Childe of Hale or else on the other thread that I started. The best of luck to you with the site, William. :handclap:

Hi Yer Feller,
Wow ! its nearly a year ago since myself and another member from here walked around the *Child of Hale's* Grave.
It was a lovely sunny day and we both marvelled at the wooden statue but also tut - tutted at the graffitti.
Hello William, I have saved your web-site in my favourites. I will take a look as soon as I get a moment :)
Welcome to the forum.
Many thanks lindylou..Quote:

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.:PDT11
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.

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. lol No wonder the Childe of Hale was 9 foot 3 inches.
That would be super. Thanks, Cadfael. :PDT11Quote:

I'm going back down to tomorrow, found where you get to the crop field and bbc says Tuesday morning weather Is sunny.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
I went last Friday and dulled up after a hazy spell.:disgust:
Can't wait to drive though, takes 40 minutes to cycle there from Smithdown to Ramsbrook lane.
Good on you Maxie - watch out for the bog monster though.
Villages and shorelines at the moment are giving me the best Ideas for photos, Liverpool I'm struggling for a little for something stunning. Too much construction work and restricted space and I won't do north until I can drive except for Crosby since the roads are murder down there.
Plus Hale at the shoreline Is really relaxing and kills any negativity I have Inside, thats why I love going down there.
Take your bike on the train to Waterloo Max and cycle down South Road (the station's on South road, just turn left as you come up the stairs) to Marine Gardens at the very bottom. Do a right along Marine Crescent and Beach Lawn and beyond to Burbo Bank - it's very relaxing down there. Grassendale-esque but with the beach view - you'll enjoy it - don't delay.
