Title: The Newsboys' Home for Destitute Boys, Everton Road, Liverpool, England
Post by: Grangelaner on Wednesday 08 July 20 22:19 BST (UK)

I am currently pulling together a scrapbook to commemorate the centenary the Everton Red Triangle Boxing Club in Liverpool.

It was first known as the Everton Red Cross Triangle Lads’ Club and became a branch of the YMCA after it acquired the property from the Newsboys’ Home for Friendless and Destitute Boys on Everton Road, (120-126) not far from the Heyworth Street junction with Breck Road in November 1919.

I would be interested to hear if any readers have photographs, old newspaper cuttings etc. related to the home back in the those early days. See attached clipping I have confirming its transition to the YMCA back in 1919.

Thanks in advance

If you're after articles which mention the Newsboys' Home, there are quite a few items in old newspapers such as this one from "Liverpool Mercury" Tuesday,  Sept. 30, 1884 .

British Library Newspapers are free to search at most libraries and on-line if you have access via a library card.
