Liverpool And the North |

| Brummies claim their city to be the UK's second city as do Glaswegians and likewise Mancunians who are very loud in their assertions that their town is the UK's second city. Not so Scousers, they know that London is the UK's second city. Anon. |

A Genuine
'Dicky Sam': Liverpool and Slavery The Victorian author of this book chose to disguise his identity under the psuedonym 'Dicky Sam' for a good reason: when he wrote it, many of the former slave merchants (or at any rate their sons) would still have been alive, deprived of a lucrative living not many decades earlier through the efforts of the abolitionists; and he would have numbered friends among both slavers and abolitionists. It must be pointed out that his book, like many other accounts, gives too much emphasis to slave auctions allegedly carried on in Liverpool. Let it again be said that traders were clever enough to disguise the 'Africa Trade' (as it was euphemistically called) by taking Lancashire cotton goods and other manufactured items to Africa, trading them against slaves ~ always, of course, with the active participation of African chiefs, who had no hesitation in selling their own people: cruelty and inhumanity of man to man know no colour distinctions. From Africa the traded blacks were taken to the America and the West Indies, where they were sold against raw cotton, rum, sugar, tobacco, spices and other local produce to bring back to the shores of Britain. Thus the boats left and returned carrying ‘respectable’ cargo, and helped to still the growing unease felt among the traditionally liberal and Christian English population. In recent years it has become fashionable among some sections of the Liverpool community to tar all Liverpool merchants of the 18th and 19th centuries with the same brush. Some unruly individuals recently have even carried their hate~fed ignorance so far as to deface, or mindlessly destroy, monuments to the very men who worked tirelessly for the abolition of the slave~trade, merely because they were Liverpool worthies of the past. It is hoped that this book will help to spread greater awareness of their noble work as well as that of the wicked slave~traders. And it is to a renewed spirit of co~operation and understanding between the many races that comprise the new, and no less genuine, Dicky Sams that this centenary reprint is dedicated. |

of Merseyside Breedon Books 1st 1994 large 4to, very very minor wrinkling to price-clipped d/w o/w F/VG++ 1075 gms (Order reference 13749). Fabulous Liverpool - hub of Merseyside and a seaport city of exciting contrasts - is renowned for its friendly folk, humour and magic music. Once honoured with the title of 'Second City of the Empire', Liverpool has woven a history of thriving maritime and commercial business, culture and architecture. It is the birthplace of numerous famous and talented people, including a plethora of brilliant entertainers of stage and screen, not to mention its three great football clubs. Liverpool was 'home' to fleets of world renowned luxury liners - including Mauritania (1), holder of the Blue Riband of the Atlantic for 22 years. Even the Titanic was registered at Liverpool! Some nine million emigrants passed through the Port of Liverpool on passages for new lives in the New World and Antipodes. Here, too, in the most important wartime port in Britain, was the secret headquarters which controlled the Battle of the Atlantic. Today's huge, modern Royal Seaforth Docks cater for growing shipping traffic, and Liverpool's 600-acre Freeport is the largest and most successful in Britain. Liverpool was the starting place for the world's first real passenger and freight railway - GeorgeStephenson's Liverpool & Manchester Railway. It also boasts two magnificent cathedrals and two universities. The wonders created by the massive restoration and transformation of miles of Mersey waterfront attract millions of visitors, and the area, including Birkenhead, also embraces two popular seaside resorts in Southport and New Brighton. Images of Merseyside draws on the huge collection of photographs held by the Liverpool Post & Echo. The result is a book which will delight Merseysiders young and old alike, as it shows the people, the buildings and the events down the years to provide a fascinating pictorial record of this historic, vibrant city and its surrounds. Front cover shows, Main picture: Liverpool waterfront, everyone's image of Merseyside; Inset left: The Derby House War Room which commanded the Western Approaches; Inset right: Liverpool's most famous quartet, the Beatles, in 1962. |

Mike: On the Mersey Beat - policing Liverpool
between the wars Oxford University Press 1st 1991 8vo, short crse + small tr to d/w o/w F/VG++ 465 gms (Order reference 10465). On the Mersey Beat tells the story of police life in one of Britain's great cities before the Second World War. This is the story of the policemen (for there were no policewomen) who policed Liverpool between the wars. Related in their own words it tells of working conditions which, judged even by standards of the day, were appalling, of a hostile public wary of police officers and of dictatorial police chiefs willing to go to extreme lengths to keep the streets of Liverpool free of `undesirables'. Using the oral testimony of survivors from this period On the Mersey Beat brings to life the often mundane, yet occasionally dangerous life of the 'beat policeman'. Tales of relations with bookies and prostitutes, the pettiness of CID work, and the all-important relationship of the police with industrial workers and ethnic minorities are recounted by the men, often ill-trained and ill-prepared, whose task it was to police the streets of Liverpool. This is the compelling, dramatic, and often moving story of the men who walked `The Mersey Beat'. |

Brooke,
Richard: Liverpool As It Was 1775-1800 Liverpool Libraries and Information Services 1st 2003 large 8vo F+/F Facsimile of 1853 1st edn. 1225 gms (Order reference 12406). This book was first published in 1853 as "Liverpool as it was during the last quarter of the eighteenth century, 1775 to 1800." Liverpool Libraries and Information Services has reproduced it with an introduction by Jane Longmore, an expert on the history of Liverpool in this period, and illustrations from the extensive archives of Liverpool Record Office. The information in the book came from many sources including the recollections of the author's father, also called Richard Brooke, who lived until he was ninety-two years old. He had witnessed great changes in the town as the population grew from about 35,000 in 1775 to 376,000 by the time of his death in 1852. He was said to have been "gifted with a clear and retentive memory" and knew many notable Liverpudlians of his day, including William Roscoe, the Rathbones and Banastre Tarleton. The book paints a vivid picture of Liverpool at this time, describing the streets and buildings, how the inhabitants earned their livings, and how they enjoyed themselves. |

Garfield,
Simon: The Last Journey of William Huskisson
Faber & Faber 1st 2002 8vo M/F 380 gms (Order reference 9043). ‘The engine attained the speed of 35 miles per hour, which made it the fastest train in the world. Unaware of the incident, vast crowds of onlookers waved heartily as the calamity rattled past...’ The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was the greatest engineering feat of its age. George and Robert Stephenson's Rocket was to become the most famous locomotive in history. William Huskisson was one of the greatest statesmen of his generation, and certainly the most accident prone. On 15 September 1830, the three met for the first time. Huskisson's fateful accident, in which the Rocket crushed his leg and thigh, is an unforgettable image of the Industrial Revolution. But what really happened on that day? How did the opening of the world's first passenger railway turn from a glorious morning into a tragic afternoon? The Last Journey of William Huskisson is a wonderfully entertaining tale of ambition, genius, rivalry and legend, plotting the eight~year struggle to build a railway with a cast of engineers, politicians, actresses, surgeons, socialites and breathtaking machines. It is a loud and evocative snapshot of the times, but above all it is a deeply affecting human story of one man's shocking and very gory demise. This is an uncorrected proof copy. |

Ian Hargreaves, regular writer and columnist with the Liverpool Echo and Daily Post, has met many interesting people during his many years with those papers. An 'adopted Liverpudlian' himself, he has chosen twelve men and women who are either Liverpool born and bred, or who have had a great impact after coming to this city. This is not just reporter's heresay, Ian has meticulously researched his subjects and in each case has personally interviewed them. Those who feature in this book have very different personalities; age, sex, upbringing, interests are all quite disparate but they all have character and each has made a very positive contribution to society. Consider this list - Edwina Currie~ Alfie Lewis Lord Derby~ Gerry Marsden Ken Dodd~ John Parrott Harold Francis~ Councillor Harry Rimmer John Hardman~ Peter Robinson Carla Lane Archbishop~ Derek Warlock |

2 1900 - 1930 TPC/LRTA 1st 1982 large 4to, glazed pictorial boards 359pp F 1685 gms (Order reference 7175). The Edwardian era saw the City of Liverpool at its peak of confidence. Almost unchallenged in its commercial strength, the city did things in style. The electric tramways were a notable part of the success story that was Liverpool in the thriving pre-1914 years. This volume resumes the story of Liverpool's trams and buses from the turn of the century and continues through the difficult years of the Great War and the turbulent nineteen-twenties. Many technical innovations are described in detail, on the cars and along the tracks, and the emergence of the motor bus is traced as it challenged not only the trams but the Corporation itself. Public transport made the city possible and now let it grow. These years saw housing estates, municipal and private, cover the green fields while trams and buses with perhaps the lowest fares in England supported the new suburban lifestyle. These were also the years when money could be made in road passenger transport and private bus operators indulged in cut-throat competition; encouraged by Liverpool's sometimes unfriendly neighbours the newcomers ended any monopoly the trams once had. The reality of working life on the tramways is detailed, with short biographies of the major figures. The relationship between managers and men is traced as paternalism faded before the growth of trade unionism and inter-union strife. |

Village - the story of Formby Formby Society 3rd revised edn 1982 8vo paperback 144pp, min sunning to spine, minor marks, neat previous owner's name & address to 1/2 title page o/w VG+ 295 gms (Order reference 14864). The village of Formby was founded by Norse settlers in the early tenth century in what was then a remote and inaccessible part of the Lancashire coast, cut off by forest, lake and marshland from the rest of the country. For many centuries its inhabitants led a quiet and isolated life, tending their fields and their livestock, making and mending their boats and fishing gear, and keeping a watchful eye on the dunes and watercourses which alone protected them from inundation. It was not until the nineteenth century that the coming of the railway opened up communication with Liverpool and began the process by which Formby eventually became a Merseyside commuter town. Even today, however, the district retains many distinctive features, and the coastline (much of it now a protected area) attracts many thousands of visitors throughout the year. The history of Formby has never been dramatic, but it is full of interest, and in Viking Village it is told for the first time. Originally published in 1973, and long out of print, the book is now reprinted in a revised and updated form. |

St. George's Hall, Liverpool is one of the finest neo¬classical civic buildings in Europe: a symbol of 19th century Liverpool's success and prosperity. It was built between 1841 and 1854 to the design of a young architect, Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, who had to combine concert hall and law court facilities in one building. This booklet outlines the building's fascinating history and construction, which includes the first attempt at air~conditioning a public building in the country, and describes the main features of its superb architecture and decoration. It is illustrated by 29 colour and 12 black and white plates. Cover: John Goodchild's Fantasy of St. George's Hall under construc¬tion, 1854. Watercolour. |

Liverpool
Black Caucus: The Racial Politics of Militant
in Liverpool - the black community's struggle for participation in local
politics 1980-1986 Merseyside Area Profile Group and Runnymede Trust 1st 1986 8vo paperback 144pp, very minor sunning to sp, very slight yellowing to covers o/w VG++ 230 gms (Order reference 7303). The last decade has seen a steady growth in the political participation and influence of black communities, and many serious attempts by local councils to challenge racial inequality at municipal level. Britain's oldest established black community lives in the long~declining city of Liverpool where generations of black people have faced and fought discrimination and disadvantage. In 1980 Liverpool City Council finally adopted an Equal Opportunities Policy and a broadly based Black Caucus emerged to campaign in the Council and in the community for this policy to become a reality. But the Caucus met solid resistance from the Council which, since 1983, has been ruled by a decisive Labour majority. The dominant force in the Labour Council is the Militant Tendency and it is their policies inspired by their analysis of racial politics that has brought the sharpest conflicts with the Black Caucus and dealt the most forceful blows to the policy. This book describes the continuing battle of Liverpool's black community for political participation and racial equality in the face of powerful opposition. It is essential reading for all who are interested or involved in the struggle against racism and discrimination in political parties, local government and in the wider community. The book includes a foreword by the Archbishop and Bishop of Liverpool and also publishes for the first time evidence submitted by Black Caucus members to the Labour Party National Executive Inquiry into the Liverpool District Labour Party. The Liverpool Black Caucus is the group of representatives from local black organisations elected since 1981 to sit on the Race Relations Liaison Committee of Liverpool City Council, until the local Labour leadership abolished the Committee in 1985. |

Liversedge,
Stan: Liverpool from the Inside Mainstream Publishing 1st 1995 8vo F/F 700 gms (Order reference 4149). Liverpool FC has long been recognised as one of the greatest football clubs the world has ever known. Hugely successful throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with a record~breaking string of Championship and Cup wins at home and in Europe and a legendary support, it was widely believed that Liverpool were untouchable. But a series of disasters struck the club and almost broke its spirit: the tragedies of the Heysel Stadium and Hillsborough were compounded by the controversies of the Souness years. With the growing strength of Manchester United, Newcastle, Blackburn and half a dozen other clubs in the Premiership, many of the game's observers predicted that Liverpool's fortunes would never again be revived. Now, however, with the 1995 Coca~Cola Cup won and a place in Europe guaranteed for season 1995~96, things are looking up. And one man has seen the club through all the highs and lows of the last three decades: Stan Liversedge, known to the Anfield legions as the editor of the club's match~day programmes, was on the inside of this world~renowned institution for almost twenty years. His unrivalled access to the club's top players, its managers, backroom staff and its board of directors gives Liverpool from the Inside a fascinating authenticity. Ian Rush and John Barnes sharing their view of Graeme Souness; Bruce Grobbelaar defending himself against corruption allegations; and Peter Beardsley describing how Kenny Dalglish was ready to sign him for a record fee ~ and how Graeme Souness eventually sold him. Stan Liversedge writes about how and why the club makes its major decisions, about the effects of stress on managers and in chronicling the triumphs, tragedies and tarnished image of Liverpool FC, no one is better placed to reveal the inner workings of a club which has undergone massive upheaval in recent years. |

O'Mara, Pat:
The Autobiography of a Liverpool Slummy Bluecoat Press no date 4to paperback 221pp, minor wear+ creasing to covers o/w VG++ 575 gms (Order reference 11836). THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A LIVERPOOL SLUMMY is a fascinating picture of Liverpool life in the early years of this century. Born in abject poverty in one of the city's worst slums, Pat O'Mara chronicles a tough childhood dominated by a brutal, alcoholic father. Survival is paramount but there is no room for sentimentality in this remarkable account of one man's fight to escape the drabness and poverty that surrounds him. The
Autobiography of a Liverpool Slummy is essential reading for anyone interested
in social history and the lives of those born without privilege and opportunity.
Pat O'Mara's dramatic account of his childhood and adolescence is particularly
valuable in its revelation of the techniques of survival (the money~lenders
and pawnbrokers, the false compensation claims, the tricks and frauds
perpetrated against foreign seamen) and its eye~witness account of major
incidents (particularly the Lusitania riots and the Police Strike). Above
all, however, it is the claustrophobia of slum life that captures the
attention and makes the book so indispensable. |

He has placed the School in its local, national and international context and has unearthed a wealth of material of value to the social historian and general reader alike. This is more than just a narrow history of a school ~ it is a reflection of the society around it. Over 100 Illustrations Front Cover shows the Hardman Street School 1852 |

Shortfall,
Barry: The Cameo Murders Bluecoat Press no date 4to paperback 223pp, very very minor bmp + wear to edges of covers o/w VG++ 390 gms (Order reference 11727). Fifty years have now passed since the brutal murders of the manager and his assistant at the Cameo Cinema in Liverpool. Immediately, the police launched a massive manhunt and over 9,500 houses were visited, 75,000 people interviewed, 1,800 fingerprints taken and handwriting samples taken from 1,840 women. The subsequent trial and conviction of George Kelly and Charles Connolly made legal history. The first trial was the longest murder trial in England and Kelly become one of few men to be tried twice for a capital offence. The conviction and execution of Kelly is one of the milestones which led to the eventual ending of capital punishment. The probability of a miscarriage of justice has ensured the Cameo case a lasting place in Liverpool folklore. Barry Shortall's gripping account of the case is essential reading. Charles Connnolly's counsel at his first trial ended his defence: "I ask you to use this test: would it be right in the years ahead when you look back at the Cameo murder trial to be able to say, 'I know what I did was right. If you look back and said, 'I think', and 'I hope', then your verdict will not be right". |

This is the fifteenth book to be written by Tom Slemen and the tenth in the Haunted Liverpool series and it bears all the hallmarks of the master storyteller's work: alongside a classic mix of murder, mystery and suspense you will find local tales of the supernatural, unexplained mysteries and the downright weird and grotesque. From the shocking cases of the demonic ship's captain who slaughtered most of his crew and the headless nun who reduces a grown man to jelly, to the crazed parrot whose mimicry exposes an adulteress and the girl in the red dress who is a harbinger of doom, these stories, like all his others, will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. |

Slemen,
Tom: Strange Liverpool Bluecoat Press 1st 2005 8vo paperback 127pp, crse to fr cvr + minor wear to edges of covers o/w VG+ 250 gms (Order reference 11029). Tom Slemen has earned himself an enviable reputation as Liverpool's foremost authority on the paranaormal. Tom is well known both on local radio and in the local press and his Haunted Liverpool books are all bestsellers. In the course of his research into the supernatural, he frequently comes across true stories which do not fit into this category, but are fascinating nonetheless. Over the years, he has filed these stories away and has now brought them together to produce an intriguing mix in Strange Liverpool. It is probably the sheer variety of his stories which is the key to his success, taken as they are from way back in the past, right up to the present day, and featuring characters from all walks of life. In Strange Liverpool we meet Mick Riley, a lazy Liverpool layabout who perfected the art of doing nothing and was the person responsible for the saying 'enjoying the life of Riley'. In total contrast, Owen Elias, a simple Welsh lad from Angelsey, came to Liverpool to make his fortune and through sheer hard work and determination, built street after street of Victorian Liverpool. From
the French birdman who met his death at Speke airport, to the gang of
barefoot child thieves who led the police in Victorian Liverpool a merry
dance; from Scary Mary of Scotland Road, to Dashing Dan of Lime Street,
this book is crammed full of strange and incredible characters and is
a must for all Tom Slemen fans. |

Michael: Sail on the Mersey Countyvise 1st 1984 4to stapled paperback 36pp, one of the colour plates of the front cover image has been printed 'off set' o/w VG++ 160 gms (Order reference 6503). One hundred years ago the Mersey was crowded with sailing ships. The tall masts of deep sea barques and ships were to be seen in almost every dock. The picture of Queens Dock in the 1880s was typical. Hundreds of small craft, flats, schooners, gig boats, fishing trawlers, all worked under sail. Many of the growing fleet of steamers still carried full sets of sails as a sort of `belt and braces' precaution in case their engines broke down. This publication illustrates the history of sailing ships on the Mersey over the last one hundred and fifty years. It has views of the river and the docks in the days of sail and pictures of some of the different types of vessel to be seen. It also has pictures of some of the most famous ships of the sailing ship era including the most famous of them all, the tea clipper Cutty Sark. |

of England - Formby, Freshfield and Altcar Tempus Publishing 1st 1999 4to paperback 128pp, prev owner's name + address sticker to inside fr cvr o/w VG++ 305 gms (Order reference 11803). Formby and its environs have a history dating back to before the Domesday Book. For most of this period it was a small, isolated village, but after the coming of the railway it grew in size and importance. This collection provides a pictorial record of the last century or so of Formby’s existence and charts the changes in buildings, streets, employment, leisure and society. According to local legend, the first potatoes grown in England were planted here, taken from a wrecked ship. The importance of agriculture and land management has persisted since ~ prize~winning asparagus was grown here until fairly recent times and management and protection of the extensive sand dunes continues today. In addition to the ‘traditional’ picture~postcard views of the town, this intriguing selection of archive photographs portrays the everyday life, work and leisure of Formby's inhabitants. Not surprisingly, the sea has played a significant role and this is recognized by a chapter devoted to the marine rescue services. Formby's lifeboat station was the first in the country, a fact discovered and researched by the authors in their first book. The importance of Freshfield sands in pioneer aviation and of the coastal defences in two world wars is also not forgotten. Many
of the photographs included here come from the albums of members of the
Formby Society, who have also contributed valuable information to the
captions, which are rich in historical detail and anecdotes. This nostalgic
compilation is sure to appeal to all those who know Formby, Freshfield
and Altcar. |

It's Sound - a celebration of Radio Meseyside Bluecoat Press 1st 1997 4to paperback 111pp, very very minor wear to edges of cvrs, minor dmge to fep + front pastedown o/w VG++ 500 gms (Order reference 11008). Radio can be the most satisfying of all mediums but also one of the most frustrating. It can be a friendly fireside companion on a winters night, the supplier of key information,¬ the buffer against loneliness on a long drive, or your cheerful wake up call in the morning. It can also drive you crazy. Is there anything more annoying than just hearing the end of an item and wondering what had gone before, or catching the last few bars of a favourite record? In this advanced age of communications ranging from television text services to the internet, the radio is still the prime source of information for many people, especially here on Merseyside. This book attempts to combine the spirit of radio with a glimpse behind the microphone at Radio Merseyside. The book is not a catalogue of events covered by Radio Merseyside since its launch in 1967, rather it gives a flavour of the station's output over the years ~ highlighting some of the items that may have touched you across the airwaves. It is not a book of lists, a news review of the last thirty years, or even a definitive profile of Britain's most successful local radio station. It is a dip into our recent history as heard over the radio, touching on the tragic, the comic, the important and the trivial. We
hope that, like Radio Merseyside, this book will entertain, inform, and
stimulate. |
