I cant remember if you bought them half mast or we got our ma's to take them up

Take them up to show the topp of the boot with the air wear tag visible at the top of your boots - I spent a fortune on oxblood polish to shine my boots up

Sarah Clayton, was Liverpool's most famous woman merchant, she was born in the city on 26th August 1712
Sarah Clayton died 1st May 1779

Sarah Clayton (1712–1779) was an English industrialist. She was the owner of the major Parr colliery, and known as the 'Queen of Parr'.

She was the daughter of merchant alderman and major of Liverpool William Clayton (d. 1715). She never married and thus gained legal majority at age 25.

She inherited land near Liverpool. Between 1746 and 1751, she developed her land by founding Clayton Square and likely also the Leigh, Tyrer, Houghton, Parker and Case street in Liverpool.

In 1756, she acquired the colliery in Parr Hall. In 1757, the Sankey channel expanded from Liverpool to Parr, giving her a substantial benefit to other collieries in regard to the Liverpool trade. She provided coal to Liverpool during the developing Industrial Revolution, which for a time made her into the perhaps most successful merchant in Liverpool. She worked in collaboration with her nephew Thomas Case who was a slave trader but who also owned a colliery near her mine, and together, the Clayton-Case alliance controlled the coalfields along the Sankey channel.

In 1895, Scotland Road in Liverpool was a vibrant, working-class neighborhood that captured the essence of late 19th-century industrial life. The tightly packed terraced houses and cobbled streets were bustling with activity, as horse-drawn carts, pedestrians, and workers moved through the area. This was a time when Liverpool thrived as a major port city, and Scotland Road was at the heart of the industrial boom, with many residents working in the docks, warehouses, and factories that lined the waterfront.

Despite the harsh living conditions, Scotland Road fostered a resilient and close-knit community. Many of its residents were Irish immigrants seeking better opportunities in Liverpool, and their influence shaped the area's unique character. The street was filled with small local businesses, shops, and pubs that catered to the working class, providing essential services and a sense of belonging. Despite the challenges, there was a palpable sense of solidarity among the families, reflected in the lively markets and the ever-present hum of daily life.

By 1895, Scotland Road had become a symbol of working-class life in Liverpool, embodying the struggles and strength of its people. The neighborhood was a microcosm of industrial England, shaped by both the economic growth and the hardships that came with it. While the area would undergo significant changes in the years to come, this snapshot of Scotland Road offers a glimpse into the past, when the community was central to the city's transformation and identity.

….the doomed Radcliffe Estate built in 70s and lasted barely 10 years. Modelled on a Cornish fishing village, built on land between Shaw St and Everton Rd but by 1988 all the houses lay empty and the bulldozers moved in.

Sad for me because I was raised in literally the spot where I’ve marked on the pic, we were one of the last to leave in ‘71;
