A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

WINTER is the perfect time forLaser and Intense Pulsed Light

treatments

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

A record number of children took part in the Summer Reading Challenge at Lache Library

The aim is to encourage reluctant readers with some

children taking out up to seven books

The children were presented with a certificate and a

medal at a ceremony at the library with support from local

councillors Razia Daniels Neil Sullivan and Jane Mercer

who donated funds from the membersrsquo budget

Cllr Daniels said ldquoIt was just wonderful to see so many

children had taken part and said that they really enjoyed

the reading challengerdquo

The Lache Library Treasure Hunt was won by Luwe

Hayes-Roberts who was rewarded with an extra gift

His mother Nichola Hayes-Roberts said ldquoThanks to the

Lache Library staff the boys were given extra incentive to

read and enjoy many books they are very proud of their

medals and certificates

ldquoAnything that promotes a child friendly friendly and

helpful staff and a comfortable environment for children

to enjoy reading is a very positive thingrdquo

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Bruce Edge Ernest WEdge amp Son Butchers Handbridge (wwwchesterbutchercom)

Top Tips for a Top TurkeyFIRST things first how many people are

you catering for and how big does your

turkey need to be

Size ndash Allow 1Ib454g per adult when decidinghow big a whole turkey to buy

COOK YOUR URKEY FROM ROOM

EMPERAURE

Removal from your fridgean hour before cookingwill achieve this Be sureto remove any giblets fromthe cavity of the bird beforeplacing in the oven Prior tocooking it is good to bear inmind two important rules

1 NEVER OVERCOOKYOUR URKEY

2 NEVER UNDERCOOKYOUR URKEY

I know that this statesthe obvious but a successful roast turkey dinnerdepends on this No pressure then

urkey is very lean meat and therefore can go very dry when overcooked It really is essential to

get your cooking times organised so that you knowapproximately when you need to be removing theturkey from the oven Make sure that your bird isaccurately weighed prior to cooking and if you stuffthe bird please make sure to allow extra cookingtime

Te British turkey information service says thatif the turkey is over 4kg9Ib calculate 20mins perkg plus 90mins Terefore a 10Ib4540kg turkeyshould take 3 hours at 180

o

C

Under 4kg9Ib is 20mins per kg plus 70mins

A meat thermometer is a great tool to ensure aperfect turkey every time You need to aim for acore temperature of 75

o

C

Pop up turkey timers are great as they providereassurance that the bird is properly cooked Tetimer is pushed into the deepest part of the breastmeat and will pop up at exactly 75

o

C which is the

correct temperature to be reached You will need tokeep checking to see when thisoccurs around the time its dueto be cooked At this pointthe bird needs to be removedfrom the oven to rest forapproximately 25mins Tiswill help to redistribute the juices prior to carving

If you do not have either the

thermometer or timer thenpush a fork into the deepestpart of the leg If the juicesrun clear then the turkey iscooked If not give another10mins and then try again

o add more moisture to the breast butter can berubbed into the breast meat under the skin and thenall over the legs Season the bird and then cover thebreast with tin foil while leaving the legs to open

roast Te legs are not as tender as the breast meatand therefore need more exposure to the heat sothat the legs and breast are cooked at the same timeOtherwise the breast can become overcooked whilstthe legs need additional cooking time (the legs canalways be foiled later if necessary)

Note Te turkey is the main course prepare allof the other foods around the turkey not the otherway around

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

WINTER is the perfect time forLaser and Intense Pulsed Light

treatments

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

for News Day in March with Year 13 Media Studies students taking

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

WINTER is the perfect time forLaser and Intense Pulsed Light

treatments

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

WINTER is the perfect time forLaser and Intense Pulsed Light

treatments

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

of drama and music workshops linked to the show and then went for formal

formed but as always anyone who auditioned is automatically in the show in

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

of drama and music workshops linked to the show and then went for formal

formed but as always anyone who auditioned is automatically in the show in

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

for News Day in March with Year 13 Media Studies students taking

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

WINTER is the perfect time forLaser and Intense Pulsed Light

treatments

Treat unwanted hair on the face and bodythread veins on the face and upper chest orsun damage to the face hands arms anddecollate

Lighter skin is ideal for faster and moreefective results as the treatment involves

the the laser or IPL light being attracted tothe pigment or colour of the hair vein or sundamage If the skin is darker treatment canstill be performed but the machine is set at alower setting and results will be completedover a longer period of time

Although it is still advisable to use a factor 30during the winter months whilst undergoinglaser treatment it is not as critical as in thesummer months

The Ellipse IPL system is a world leaderHough Green Clinic has been treatinghundreds of clients over the past 10 years andwe happily can conrm that laser hair removal

by Ellipse is permanent on the limbs and bikiniline

The treatment to the face is permanentat the time of treatment as no hairs willgrow again in the treated follicles Howeverhormone levels change over our lifetime andsometimes new follicles with new hairs willform on the face andor neck A top up of

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Stage is set for next big showTHE school production for 2016 will be Little Shop of Horrors Over a course of

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

of drama and music workshops linked to the show and then went for formal

auditions After some serious head scratching and deliberation the cast was

formed but as always anyone who auditioned is automatically in the show in

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

for News Day in March with Year 13 Media Studies students taking

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

of drama and music workshops linked to the show and then went for formal

auditions After some serious head scratching and deliberation the cast was

formed but as always anyone who auditioned is automatically in the show in

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Stage is set for next big showTHE school production for 2016 will be Little Shop of Horrors Over a course of

three Wednesdays throughout September over 100 students attended a series

of drama and music workshops linked to the show and then went for formal

auditions After some serious head scratching and deliberation the cast was

formed but as always anyone who auditioned is automatically in the show in

one way or another The backstage crew have also started to work on preparing

for the staging of this epic show meeting each Thursday after school There is

a full complement of crew members including a stage manager deputy stage

managers assistant stage managers and other key roles for the behind thescenes work Tickets for the production will be released in early December

BBC newsRecruitment is already underway for the BBC School Report team ready

for News Day in March with Year 13 Media Studies students taking

lead roles This is an opportunity for those students who enjoy writing

broadcasting and photography and those who hope to have a career in

the media to expand their skills and have some fun It works by giving

students a chance to look around the Salford studios and do mockinterviews

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

GARDENING BY JANET HEATH

THE year end is approaching and it is time to enjoy

the small splashes of colour in the garden Frost is so

pretty on the most ordinary of foliage so enjoy the

frosting on the humble blackberry leaf (see photo) or

the large flat dying heads of Sedum or HydrangeaI know I have mentioned this before but one of my

favourite shrubs Viburnum bodnantense Dawn

started flowering in October and is heavy with scent

in milder periods throughout winter Plant it near a

regular thoroughfare so you can catch the honeyed

scent daily

For colour the evergreens take the stage in

winter Some conifers have architectural shapes

provided they are given space to grow naturally

Chamaecyparis pisifera Filifera Aurea is a bit ofa mouthful of a name but it will grow as a broad

pyramid shape with drooping golden foliage all

year and can be clipped to keep it compact Partner

it with the rich deep green leaves and red berries

of mounded Skimmia and some glaucous blue

Euphorbia characias wulfenii

Other plants that may be in flower include

Mahonia media the varieties Charity or Winter

Sun are often seen for sale This is a tall shrub with

evergreen large spiky leaves and long stems covered

with tiny yellow scented flowers Mahonias are great

for striking winter colour and if they get too tall cut

stems down in early spring and they will re-sprout

new shoots for next winter

Jobs to do in the garden include pruning grapevines

when the plant is fully dormant in winter They

produce sap when stems are cut and can have

disease introduced to the cut when the plant is

growing Pruning in winter when the sap will not

bleed prevents this from happening

Make sure plants in pots are protected from frost

by making sure the pots are not waterlogged as they

are more likely to freeze and crack in cold weather

Take a plastic bag larger than the pot cut the bottomoff to allow drainage and then stuff with straw to the

top of the pot Move lemon or orange trees in pots to

greenhouse or cool conservatory and do the same

for pelargoniums Last year I kept mine dry in pots in

the garage by a window and they came through to

grow on this year

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

THE identity of a First

World War Chester nursenamed lsquoSelfrsquo in a historic

photo album has now been

revealed

Archivists were seeking

the identity of a First World

War nurse who compiled a

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Below Caroline Allwood and her son Fredrick

captioned as Fred amp Self at Church House

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

moving pictorial record of

the days when the 2nd Duke

of Westminsterrsquos palatial

mansion served as a hospital

for wounded troops

The album of 300-plus

photographs depicting

nurses and their patients amid the huge Gothic

splendour of Eatonrsquos Waterhouse Hall was

acquired by archivists from a Chester book

shop in 1979 Several of the pictures in the

album dating from 1914-17 show their creator

in her nursing uniform although they are

captioned simply with the word lsquoSelfrsquo

An appeal was launched last year but

produced no response until now Thanks to

detective work by Professor Alison Fell of the

University of Leeds and Chester archivist Liz

Green the mystery may have been solved

lsquoSelfrsquo is now thought to be Mrs Caroline

Allwood (nee Haworth) who lived at Gorstella

Dodleston from 1914

After studying the album Professor Fell and

Liz Green came to the conclusion that the

unknown nurse was local because of the

informal nature and content of some of the

pictures

Caroline Allwood was a ward sister at Eaton

and later Oakfield from November 1914

She had a sister Nellie Haworth who was a

nurse in London in 1911 when Caroline herself

was living at Church House Churton with

her husband John a farmer and their son

Frederick aged two

There was nothing in the album to connect

Caroline Allwood with lsquoSelfrsquo

apart from a picture of awoman in a nursersquos uniform

labelled simply lsquoNellrsquo thought

to be her sister Nellie

Haworth

However Liz remembered

among some loose pictures

one showing a house with a

woman and child standing

near the railings at the front

The words lsquoChurton House

Fred amp Selfrsquo were on the

back of the photograph in

her familiar handwriting

When the photograph was enlarged the

figures of Caroline Allwood and her smiling

son Frederick Insull Allwood emerged from the

grainy picture solving a mystery dating back

almost 40 years

The full album of pictures is available for

public viewing at Cheshire Record Office on

Duke Street in Chester

Above Caroline Allwood simply captioned as

lsquoSelfrsquo (1915)

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around

Handbridge break-ins

ON THE BEATwith Police Community Support Ofcer Chris Fox

Please call 101 if you have any issues to report

Also my e mail address is Christopherfoxcheshirepnnpoliceuk

Please remember if you have any issues the Police and the local councilors hold the

following Surgeries on the first Saturday of every month

Chester Street Saltney ndash 9am-1015am

Westminster Park Shops ndash 1030am ndash 1145am

Handbridge ndash Dee Bridge - Opposite the Ship Inn ndash 12noon-1pm

If you see one of us out and about stop and have a chat

I have noted a slight increase in theft

incidents around the Handbridge area Please

look out for anything suspicious and report

it in to the Police on 101 so we can check it

out Make sure that you remove valuable

from your gardens and vehicles and lock

them away in a safe location Also make

sure that you lock car doors as a lot of thefts

from motor vehicles are opportunistic and

can be avoided I would also advise that you

ensure your house doors are locked at all

times and that you have a working alarm that

you set when you leave the property Having

adequate security measures in place can

minimize the chance of you personally been

effected by crime

PrioritiesFurther Police attendance around Schools

and education to motorists when parking at

drop off and pick up time at schools

You SaidA regular issue raised by the public is that

of speeding vehicles Officers will over thecoming weeks be visible using a variety of

methods to combat such offences

We didDuring October PCSO Fox has carried out

two sessions on Lache Lane monitoring the

speed of vehicles Six vehicles were found

going at inappropriate speeds and Police

Warning letters have been sent out to the

Keepers of these vehicles We will be looking

at further traffic offences in the near future

You SaidTo target anti-social behaviour across the

area especially in the run up to Hallowersquoen

There are a number of areas where

officers will proactively target to challenge

inappropriate behaviour

We didFrom the last week of October until the 8th

November there has been a double crewed

Police patrol checking all the areas where

anti social behaviour issues are likely to occur

in Chester During the October half term

youth activities have been held to give youths

things to do Other than a couple of minor

Halloween incidents the Halloween bonfire

period has passed off with few issues around
