I can’t get a copy of the R.B. Rose essay you reference (thank you for referencing it so i know it exists!) from the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire and i don’t know where else to go. i’d really like to get an offprint or to print it from online and i’d love to find more about John Finch and my family and am having a hard time. You’re clearly excellent at this research and i’d really appreciate some pointers on getting that essay and looking for more info. Thank you!!!

]]> Comment on Places I Remember by japaba http://inspidered.wordpress.com/2012/04/05/places-i-remember/#comment-89 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 00:50:46 +0000 http://inspidered.wordpress.com/?p=544#comment-89 I like the little drawings of Sefton Park and Princes Park. I forget that they are that close together. There’s a little island in the lake in Princes Park that I used to play on as a kid and it seemed huge when I was that age, from about 9-13 y/o. I went there last year to have a look at it and upon inspection of the Island it just looked so…..well……small. I kind of regretted going to look at it at first but then as I walked along it I remembered the things it used to be to me and how all that was just an imagining, so I imagined it again and it felt good.

The chapter “What Redburn Saw in Launcelott’s-Hey” is sad and incredibly haunting. One wonders how closely it adhere’s to Melville’s own experience. You say the “alley” is now demolished. Where did it once exist? That is, what street or collection of buildings has today taken its place?

Very nice site, by the way.

It’s the lone ranger Sean from spider
Ive written a piece for the HOPE St project
Forgive me for the delay but do consider this to be included in the project cheers mate.
Oh I’m typing it now because I will most probably lose this piece of text that it’s written on :D

Hope St – Behind the scenes

Come gather round people wherever you roam and loan your ego to the brothers and sisters
Who passionately find joy in the backstreets of Hope
Ladies and gentlemen this is Network theatre
Established in Orwells ’84′ fifty years after the birth of it’s ancestor ‘Merseyside Left theatre group’.
Network was created after the closure of ‘merseyside unity theatre ‘ and strives every Tuesday to continue encouragement, participation, performance and innovative theatrical writing for Liverpool.

Let me know what you think Adrian I still need to include dates and profanities toward unity but I might leave that to you I’m in tuesday if your about
Take care
Sean

]]> Comment on POVERTY AND MORTALITY IN 1840s LIVERPOOL by June Francis http://inspidered.wordpress.com/2011/04/21/poverty-and-mortality-in-1840s-liverpool-2/#comment-52 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 09:52:01 +0000 http://inspidered.wordpress.com/?p=380#comment-52 Figures are interesting. Quite a number of my ancestry moved to Liverpool during this era – surprisingly quite a number lived to an age above the average. The only one that was Irish came earlier and moved to Manchester. As a writer and because of my ancestry, I am not wanting to read more about this period, This is a good start.
