A new book hits the shops this week on the ancient district of EVERTON

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liver...0252-26880488/

The web page to the book has a facility for looking up every family that was living in the area in 1960. I've found us and loads of family and friends on it.

The author of the book Ken Rogers (left) is an echo journalist as is Peter Grant who has written books, his latest being about the dockers. Here they were at the Big History Festival in the St. Georges Hall the other month.

I've just finished reading " The lost tribe of Everton & Scottie Road" by Ken Rogers and found it most enlightening. Coming from the Everton area I was always likely to enjoy the book, but the author also explains the council politics behind the "resettlement" of the Everton community. I'm sure "macca" will find some answers to his questions if he reads this book with an open mind.

Great to see pictures of the old school. I've got mixed memories of my time there, but it was a good school generally. Ted Ray, Artur Askey and Leonard Rossiter were old boys of the Collegiate and my mam and grandparents were so proud when I was accepted.
Thanks Lindylou

I have read the book also it is a good insight into the slum clearance programme and life in the late 50’s early 60’s, plenty of good pictures.

Unfortunately there appears to be some editing errors on the photography side of the book. Pages 30 and 31 are mirror images of the area. My friend Stanier spotted this. A corrected version is shown which could save hours of confusion.

Myself and Ged agree that the picture on page 144 is not the demolition of Rossie school but the much earlier construction.
I still think the book is a very good read, just pointing out the errors for accuracy if the book is updated.
My errors!!! Pages 30 and 31 should be 20 and 21, page 144 should be 164, I'll bring my doctors note in tomorrow!
Thanks again, Ged (see next post).
Cheers, Chas

Chas. How strange, pages 30 and 31 of my copy are text. The picture you've shown there is on page 20 of mine.

The 'demolition' of Rossy school picture is on page 164 and is actually the construction showing brick layers at work and no Heights in the background.

I have a lot of the photographs in this book from the LRO but lots of good additions too.

**chasevans** · 07-31-2010

I'm hanging my head in shame, thanks Ged, you're right. The pages are 20 and 21 and 164, I'll edit the post. It was very late when I posted it and I didn't have my glasses on. Ta for the nudge.
Best wishes,
Chas

Ha ha - no probs. I thought I had an updated edition already then. It looks a good read at 220 odd pages.

**Samp** · 07-31-2010

Ged! a number of the pictures came from the Shrewsbury Club Archives. If you look in the front you will see the Archive Team get a mention. We have a whole series of the construction of Rossie School, found them in the club.
