One of my mam's sayings: "She's not going out dressed like that is she? She looks like one of Ann Fowler's!"
Oh I dunno, Debz's auntie works there and believe me they're well fed and come Christmas they're well dressed.Quote:

The building in the photo has been demolished.
I don't think the building in Fraser Street looks anything like the one in the photo.
Yes, the Ann Fowlers of Netherfield rd no longer exists - it moved somewhere else - must be Fraser st as you say.
Certainly was advanced at the time in respect to washing themselves,I remember in our house it was just a cold water tap running into a white stone sink.

The Ann Fowler Home was originally a Welsh Chapel serving the large Welsh population in Everton.Quote:

Been in both places, Ann Fowlers, which was subsequently replaced with the Fraser Street Womens Hoster. Not as a resident, thank God, but as a housing officer trying to place the Women, which was, believe me, difficult as a lot of Landlords did not want to take "one of Ann Fowlers". Lots of sad stories and casualties but whilst I did not relish visiting, particularly Fowlers, you have to remember that it was established at a time when, sadly, womenwho were homeless literally on the street. "Fallen", as in "Fallen Women" could and did mean prostitution but for most women it could mean having a child, being abandoned, or being illegitimate or simply being poor. Many Women felt great shame being in there. As the Daughter of a Woman placed in an orphanage when her own Mother died, and a Father born illegitmate in Brownlow Hill Workhouse I always tried to place myself in the position of these Women I was interviewing. After all, there but for the grace of God.......................This brings back memories
The Victoria Settlement was down the road from Ann Fowlers. Never went in it. What was it?
Victoria Settlement was womens university and was built around 1895/1905? prolly where ann fowlers women went for education in social life?
The Victoria Settlement was the former home of Major Lester,it was a boys club in early 80's.......it was demolished 1990's? & a block of flats now stands there also called the Victoria SettlementQuote:

I also went to the Settlement,I made Punch&Judy puppets there and was one of the puppeteers for a while.
We probably have George , i loved making things in there , it was like another world , as soon as you went through those doors , you were transported into an other dimension , i thought it was a magical place ...Quote:

Good site that Ged :handclap: don't think I've come across it before. Very interesting to read about Major Lester having another 3 graves other than his own, for poor children. He must have been a great and compassionate man.Quote:
