What makes Hoole so different tothe other suburbs in Chester?

Certainly, Hoole has its own senseof community, more perhaps thanother areas. But is this down togeography, the shopping centre orthe people? This is the questionposed by Andy Glover in thismonths edition.

Also in the magazine weve gotpictures from Hoole Rangers endof season presentation, a featureon the Millennium Greenway andLen Morgans regular history

article.We hope you enjoy the magazine.

Parish and eld

Hoole began life as part of two otherparishes, Plemstall and St Johns and

did not originally have a church of its

own. The original area of Hoole was

also different from today. Its truecentre

originally lay in what is now Hoole

Village, wehre all the big houses

(Hoole Hall, Old Hall Farm and Hoole

House) were centred. What we now

think of as Hoole was then known as

Bishopselds, together with Moor Park(Kilmorey Park) and Hoole Park. Hoole

was connected with Chester by a bridge

over the brook at the top of Brook Street.

The beginnings of Hoole Urban District Council

In 1864 the Hoole Local Board of Health was formed. This was mainly concerned with

building drains and paving streets. In 1867 Hoole got its own parish church, All Saints,

and in 1894 was designated an Urban District Council with extra powers such as housing

and planning. In 1895 the rst council was elected and Mr E N Humphreys was the rst

councillor to take his seat.

Fit homes for heroes to live in

In the late 1920s the rst council homes were built in a row in Hoole Lane. They were

followed by new streets named after trees such as Pine Grove and Maple Grove. In 1936

the area of the council was considerably enlarged by the addition of most of Newton and

Plas Newton. This was the main area set aside for new council housing, although the council

still had land available near the ring

road. The Second World War put

a stop on the programme but after

the war the development continued

with Willow Grove and Kingsway.

One of the last acts of the council in

1954 was the placing of a contract

to Warringtons for 38 council

houses on the Hoole House site

at 1,451.7s.10d per house. The

tenants were allocated at the last

meeting of the council on 8th March

1954.

OVER the years Ive heard people say many times that Hoole is a

lovely place to live and that it has a different feel from the other

suburbs around Chester, the comments usually reect that there

is something different about Hoole.

Ive often wondered what is it that makes the difference; is it the

shops on Faulker and Charles Street? Certainly Hoole is very

well served by all the different shops, do they add a sense of

community? Is it the local school: Hoole Primary? The school is

a lovely building and is well used by the community, Im surethe governors, teachers and other staff are all working hard

to provide a great educational experience for the children

of Hoole. Is it the local churches, Hoole is served by 4

churches who work together not just providing Sunday services

but many activities and community projects that offer all ages

from the youngest to oldest, an opportunity to come together

and experience community and friendship. There are other

organisations and facilities all within Hoole that I could also list,

youth clubs, pubs, bowling, etc, etc each bring something unique

and all add to what makes Hoole different?

For me, the answer to the question, what makes the difference

in Hoole? comes down to the people. Over 20 years I have met some incredible and wonderful

people who live and work in Hoole, many have something in common, a willingness to get involved

and be the difference. I love the following story because it reminds me that I/we can make a

difference. In my work as a Church leader I often wonder if what I am involved in actually does

make any difference, sometime the problems and issues of a person or in a community can seem

insurmountable. If we focus on the enormity of some of these issues it can seem that any one

individual cant possible change anything but if we recognised that actually each of us can make

a difference, if we decide to do something instead of doing nothing, we would see that change is

possible. Christianity teaches that things can change; it can be different because God gives us the

power to bring about change

One morning an old man was walking along the beach and noticed the tide had washed thousands

of starsh up on the shore. In the distance he spotted a boy who was gathering up the starsh and

one by one was throwing them back into the ocean. He approached the boy and asked him why he

spent so much energy doing what seemed to be a waste of time. The boy replied, If these starsh

are left out here like this they will bake in the sun, and by this afternoon they will all be dead. The

old man gazed out as far as he could see and responded, But, there must be hundreds of miles of

beach and thousands of starsh. You cant possibly rescue all of them. What difference is throwing

a few back going to make anyway? The boy then held up the starsh he had in his hand and

replied, Its sure going to make a lot of difference to this one!

Maybe today you too can make a difference!

A PEACEFUL green corridor pathway runs

through Hoole - the Chester Millennium

Greenway - it gives us a chance to see muchwildlife.

There are many more pedestrians enjoying

the route than cyclists which does tend to

make us forget it is a shared path. Most

cyclists warn of their approach by using a bell

or shouting coming through which is great.

This is especially useful for the blind, or deaf,

those with young children, dogs or Friends of

the Millennium Greenway volunteers intent of

clearing litter! Of course, dogs must be under

control and owners have to clear up after theirdog and take the bag to the bin provided or face

a hefty ne!

Our volunteer group have cleared litter and

enhanced this linear park, a valuable open

space pathway, since it opened in 2000. You

are sure of a welcome either clearing litter

in spare time or lending a hand, on specic

Volunteer Days, usually held in the middle of

the month. Genial company and much bird

song whilst working in a tranquil countrysetting. Who could ask for better? Tools and

gloves are provided. Join us, stay as long as

you wish.

At the moment our projects are, mainly

clearing litter along the intended extension

route, or tree planting etc. After the pathway

has been surfaced seats, bird boxes etc have

also been our suggested projects.

The Council and the PCT have organised

walking groups. People using mobility scooterscould be welcome too. Generally, they are

around a couple of miles in length, at various

locations across Chester. Do contact, Council

Ofcer James Duckers, James.Duckers@

TOM Jones well known local

trumpeter and founder of

The Wall City Jazzmen is

retiring after a career of over60 years.

Tom played with many local

dance bands and served

with the RAF returning to

Chester in the early 50s

and founding the Jazzmen

who rst played at the old

Clemences Restaurant in

Northgate Street. In 1956 the

band moved to Quaintways Restaurant.The start was slow until someone wrote a letter to the local newspaper basically saying jazz

was a jungle type of music only played in smoky cellars where hard drinks, etc were readily

available. Curiosity was aroused and the crowds ocked in only to nd that the atmosphere

was airy and the only drinks available were tea and mineral waters, however the crowds

liked the jazz and the Monday nights at the Wall City Jazz Club was the place to be. And

since the band has been playing at the Mill Hotel on Mondays many people have said they

still have their membership cards, some even saying they met their wives and husbands at

the old Jazz Club at Quaintways.

The band had great success appearing on TV playing in the well known jazz clubs in

London and Manchester as well as Liverpool where they played on the opening night of theworld famous Cavern Club. Their name is on the Cavern Clubs Wall of Fame as also is Pat

Fields who joined the Wall City at 15 years of age in 1958 and turned professional. A few

years later she returned to the band when the Monday night sessions were started at the

Mill Hotel.

The Wall City Jazzmen with Pat (or Trish as

she prefers to be called) appeared in many

concerts with the top stars of the time and

played with many well known jazzmen from

the UK and America

During this time Gordon Vickers was themanager and credit must be given for the

way he promoted the band and his continued

association and he always does a spot with

the band if he can arrange his business

commitments to include Monday evenings.

Toms well attended retirement party took

place last month at the Mill Hotel and many of

the musicians who have played with the band

congratulated Tom on over 60 years of jazz

and the legacy of the Wall City Jazzmen.

HealTH aND beauTYwith Angela Bartlett

Q. How do self-tanning preparations work and are they safe?

A. Nearly all self-tanning products contain a chemical called

Dihydroxyacetone, commonly called DHA . This chemical

was rst recognised as a skin colouring agent by German

scientists in the 1920s and later permanently added to the list

of approved cosmetic ingredients in the 1970s by the FDA

(the Food and Drug Administration) and there is no evidence

to suggest that fake tanning products are unsafe. DHA is

a simple carbohydrate, often derived from plant sources

such as sugar beet or sugar cane, however, there is a

slight risk of contact dermatitis with self-tanning products but

this is often due to other chemicals such as preservatives and

fragrances in the products more than the DHA itself. If you have

a history of allergies or have never used a self-tan product before itis advisable to carry out a small patch test at least 24 hours prior to

slathering your entire body in it!

It is well to know that for rst 24 hours following application of self-

tanning products the skin is especially susceptible to free-radical

damage from sunlight so protect your skin from UV exposure during

this time and remember that a tan acquired from a self-tanning

product will not protect your skin from the suns damaging rays

so always wear a sun protection product at all times. The

application of an anti-oxidant rich cream is also advisable if you

are at all concerned about free-radical damage and premature

skin ageing. Your local beauty salon will be able to eithercarry out a professional, natural looking self-tan for you

or advise you on the best products to use at home.

Q. I like to buy cosmetics on-line. Are there any

precautions I should take?

A. On-line shopping is a very convenient way to acquire

goods, including skin care products. However, there

are some precautions that need to be mentioned here.

Most reputable skin care companies will only supply

qualied professionals in recognised beauty salons.

The grey market is not only supplying fake designer

handbags! There has been concern in recent months

about the ever-increasing number of fake skin care andcosmetic products coming onto the internet market. Last

December the journal Professional Beauty reported that

there are many counterfeit products which look identical

to the real thing being sold on internet sites and can

reveal a terrifying concoction of chemicals, sawdust and

even urine. Many products sold on the internet have

been found to be out of date and so will be ineffective.

Also remember that many internet sites will not offer you

the advice that you need in order to select the correct

skin care product to suit your skin condition. Always

consult a professional skin care therapist who will carry

out a proper skin analysis under a magnied lamp toadvise you on the best product for your skin care needs.
