The Tiber Street Council School First World War Memorial

You may remember an earlier post about a WWI memorial which was commissioned by Tiber Street School, Liverpool and hung on the wall at the top of the stairs next to the Head Teacher's office. We presume that those fallen were former pupils of the school.

I have now had the opportunity to see the memorial up close and to reproduce its contents. Close up photos are below, along with the names of those lost in the Great War, in the hope that they will be of use to genealogist and local historians. 

The names shown on the memorial are:

William Ball, Henry Beatson, George Boadle, Sydney Booth, Harry Burgess, Albert Carter, Charles Cleator, Robert Creer, Jonathan Daykin, Frank Ellicott, Roger Farrer, Thomas Fearon, John Fielder, Herbert Fletcher, John Fletcher, Alec Taylor (added later), Frank Foulkes, Frank Goodwin, Percy Haseldon, Harry Hogg, George W. Isaac, John Kinrade, Arthur Kirsopp, Harold Lloyd, Robert Lloyd, Joseph Martin, Alfred Moir, William Munro, George Murray, George Price, William Darling (added later), George Clark (added later), Oswald Procter, William Smith, Harold Stubbs, Joseph Sutton, William Thomas, Thomas Thompson, Arthur Todd, John Wallace, Walter Webber, James Webster, William Welch, Robert Williamson, Alfred Wockenforth, Stanley Wood, Joseph Worthington

This plaque is on the bottom of the memorial and reads "Designed and Executed by C L Poynter, 46 Beaumont Street, an old scholar"

Photograph appeal: Deane Road Cemetery, Kensington, Liverpool

As the plans progress for the restoration of the wonderful Jewish Cemetery on Deane Road, Kensington, we are making an appeal to the public for their help. Do you have any old photographs of the cemetery?

Because the cemetery was opened in 1837 and closed in 1905, it was not really a time for photography and we have very few. We have nothing to show us what the caretaker's cottage or prayer hall inside the walls looked like for instance.

We would be delighted if anyone who has any photos or etchings in their possession of any aspect of the cemetery, before or after it closed, showing any aspect;  gravestones, a funeral, the buildings, the beautiful listed screen wall at the front of the cemetery. Pictures will help us to understand how the cemetery has looked through its history.

If you can help, please email info@deaneroadcemetery.com or write to me or Saul Marks at the Liverpool Old Hebrew Congregation at Princes Road Synagogue, Liverpool L8
