The top politician returnedto his Liverpool roots toopen the latest wonder of theVictorian age – theOverhead Railway.

The Marquess of Salisbury’sfather had married intoLiverpool’s Gascoyne family,acquiring extensive land in andaround the city. The Gascoynesbuilt picturesque Childwall Hall.

It was 4 February 1893 andburly, bearded Lord Salisbury(1830-1903) was in the city tolaunch the world’s first overheadelectric railway.

The Tory leader and political

titan had already served twoterms as Prime Minister between1885 and 1892. He was nowbriefly in opposition – withLiverpudlian Liberal WilliamGladstone in power.

Following the ceremony, fin-ishing touches were carried outon the line and the Overheadopened to the public on 6 March.It was an instant hit and wasdubbed the Dockers’ Umbrellabecause of the shelter it providedalong the full length of the docks.

The Overhead was inspiredby the elevated steam railway inNew York. An Act of

OVERHEAD OPENING

Parliament in 1882gave the green lightto the Liverpool lineand work began in1889.

The initial£466,000 system wascheaper than onewith steam trains, asoriginally planned.The Overhead wasbuilt from wrought-iron girders mostly in50 ft spans standing16 ft above the road-way.

It connectedSeaforth to Dingle –the southern sectionwas completed in1896, including an800 yard tunnel.Eventually the sys-tem was extended toAintree

The Overhead waspowered by six

steam engines (pic-tured) in a generatingstation near the cen-tre of the line. Theywere powered by 30ft long Lancashireboilers providingsteam at a pressure of120 pounds persquare inch.

The Musgravehorizontal compoundcondensing enginesran at 100 rpm gener-ating 500 amperes at500 volts.

A boiler, super-heater and condens-ing plant and otheradditions were addedas services increased.

New trains wereintroduced in 1902which reduced traveltimes. Originally theentire length of theOverhead was cov-

ered in 32 minutes,including 16 stops -an average speed ofjust over 12 mph.

The improvedequipment uppedthis to nearly 19 mphlargely due to thenew faster trainsweighing 55 tons

when loaded with154 passengers.

The Overhead pro-vided a grandstandview of Liverpool’sbustling docks andwarehouses - andlifelong memoriesfor those who trav-elled on it.

WEST DERBYFARMERS MARKET

CELEBRATINGANCIENT MIDSUMMER

WITH A MODERNSPIRIT

by Teresa Gestwa

According to a Polish Midsummer cel-ebration ritual, if the floating wreath isfound in the river by a fitting mate thewreath maker will marry very soon,otherwise she shall wait for the next 12months.

Even though this practice may not be anaccurate marriage prediction in the modernworld, it did not stop over 300 people fromenjoying traditional Polish wreath makingrecently in the World Museum Liverpool, ini-tiated by Merseyside Polonia.

As soon as the door of the WestonDiscovery Centre was open to the public theroom was full of people interested in thisunique Polish custom. The Midsummer Nightis a magic time of the year rejoiced by theancient Slavs as a celebration of fire andwater. One of the rituals that accompanied itwas making and floating flower garlandsdown the river. Rather than believing in thispagan tradition Merseyside Polonia preferredto enjoy this Polish ritual by turning it into acommunity gathering and a great opportunityto try out visitors’ artistic skills.

This successful event saw many happyfaces in the World Museum who were eager tocelebrate Polish culture. Wreath making was abit of a challenge for some but one to evoke agreat sense of achievement. Take a look at theimpressive cress paper flower crowns docu-mented on many photos available on the char-ity’s Facebook page.

As an organisation fostering good relation-ships between the local community and Polishpeople, Merseyside Polonia offers an array ofcultural events throughout the year. If youwish to find out more visit MerseysidePolonia on Facebook or sign up for an eventalert by sending an email [email protected].

How Did your Ancestors Live aHundred Years Ago?

Local author Kenny O’Connell becameinterested in researching family history andafter then reading “The Gangs of Liverpool”(a history of Liverpool’s Victorian streetgangs written by Michael Macilwee) hedecided to a write a novel based on the sub-ject.

By using the comparisons between the 2011and the 1911 census years he came up with astory that is told through the eyes of a hoodiewho is sent back in time to 1911. The Hoodiegoes on a life-changing journey into the past;he witnesses poverty, injustice and the brutal-ity of the 1911 riots. The hunter then becomesthe hunted as he becomes a victim of the noto-rious High Rip Gang, who terrorisedLiverpool.

What they said about “The Hoodie and theHigh Rip Gang”:

• Doctor Michael Macilwee (author)…

“A stirring tale of gang warfare, love andredemption in the Liverpool slums”

• Andrew Schofield (actor)...

“Every now and then another great storyabout Liverpool comes along and I believethis to be one of them”

THE HOODIE ANDTHE HIGH RIP GANG

• Dave Kirby (playwright)...“This is a great book that incorporates a lot offactual events, blending them in with fiction. Ilove the idea of a hoodie being sent back intime and learning some hardlessons from the past”

Dog of theMonth

Bruno is a handsome and friendlyeight year old Black and Grey CockerSpaniel at Dogs Trust Merseyside.

He came to the rehoming centre from thedog warden who brought him in as his familydidn’t want him anymore. Bruno has gotcataracts which restrict his vision, but he iscurrently undergoing tests at the centre todetermine whether this is operable.

Despite his eyesight problems Bruno isbouncy and full of energy! However he doesneed a lot of human company and gets verydistressed when left alone. He therefore needsto be rehomed with someone who is at home alot of the time. Bruno can be rehomed withchildren aged over eight but not with cats.

The rehoming centre is also currently run-ning desperately low on stocks of tinned dogfood, so is appealing to readers for any tinsthey can spare.

coffee included - great value.We’ve had nothing but posi-tive reactions from allinvolved and I was reallypleased to see The LINKthere”.
