- Appeal for piece of History
A broadcast technician from Brighton is appealing to the people of Liverpool in tracing a part of his Grandfather's football history. William Cunningham played for the Red's in the 1920's and was part of the squad when they were League Champions in 1922.
As a result, a more than grateful Liverpool board rewarded the players with a lavish banquet at the Adelphi hotel, which included French cuisine, music and individual gold watches.
Andy never met his Grandad who was tragically killed in a mining accident in 1934 after retiring from football through injury. He is however keen to hear from anyone who may have inherited or bought one of the 1922 Championship watches as the club have not seen any in recent times.
Andy believes his Grandmother probably sold the watch shortly after William died to help see the family through the depression. If by a miracle his made it back to Liverpool he would be more than willing to buy it.
Anyone with genuine information should email Andy at:- cunnerz@hotmail.com
- Relocation of the Farmers' Market
DUE to major regeneration within the city centre, the Farmers' Market has moved from its usual site of Chavasse Park to Monument Place, London Road.
The first market at the new location will take place on Saturday, 18 September.
The market will be selling its usual diverse range of local farm produce,
from ostrich meat and organically farmed trout to wild boar pies and freshly picked vegetables.
The regeneration at Chavasse Park is part of the £800 million development of Liverpool City Centre. The project is the biggest retail development in Europe.
