The Stay Safe Board / Re: Diary summary week ending 6th April 2025

I’ve just noticed I have spelt L S Lowry incorrectly and it should, if my memory serves me correctly,
should be marchstalk men.

I’ve done my roses all 46 of them and a first spray against blackspot (says he smugly :) ;)”

Oh dear, did you dress in  a rush but to be honest does it matter if your V neck was at the back or front, do t worry about it.

As long as Bushinn did not get run over- someone might have turned his head round —- a Lancashire folk song , about someone who went out wearing his coat back to front,he got knocked down,and someone turned his head round!
The Fivepenny Piece,singing  a Lancashire folk song .

Gosh Viktoria you have just taken me back 50 years, a five year old, a three year old, no phone no money but we had two healthy kids and a roof over our heads and were happy.,

I still have the LP but nowt to play it on, remember “where there’s muck there’s brass”, and the one about Lowery “ matchstick men and matchstick cats and dogs”

The memory lingers on, but the wine still survives, I got a bottle in Sainsbury’s a few days ago.

Happy days of dial up modems and five minutes to load a page.

When did he die?  Is it not possible that as he had TB he might have been in an isolation hospital prior to being admitted to the asylum.  There was one in Southall

The Common Room / Re: Can artistic ability from distant ancestors persist to present day descendants?
« on: Friday 14 February 25 12:32 GMT (UK)  »
I believe that musical ability, artistic ability and many others are inherited, often skipping a generation
or two.
But I would also include many other abilities, engineering, the ability to use tools, practical commonsense and others.

One of my daughters has the ability to pick up any musical instrument and produce a tune, entirely untaught, it can only have come from her paternal grandmother.

So my answer is yes

Lancashire / Re: Southport Isolation Hospital

It is shown on the  nls map for 1926, half along Shaftesbury road, at the end of Lincoln road, now all housing.
My link to the map won’t work.
If any archives survive you would expect them to be in Southport  (Now Sefton) archives and library services


Added, I now see that Jonwarrn has found it, well done

I now have his death certificate and it states placed as Tuberculosis Hospital U D.


U D is west lancs urban district council.
The hospital is actually New Hall hospital, but opened in 1927, replacing the temporary hospital at the end of moss lane, how we find archives for this temporary hospital, or if they exist I’m not sure.

Records for New Hall after 1948 are at Liverpool archives
