With stoppage of humanitarian aid deliveries into the Gaza Strip, UNICEF warns of severe consequences for children and families in desperate need

“The ceasefire must hold, and more aid must be allowed in to prevent further suffering and loss of life.”

“This is a desperate situation for children.”

Thousands more children are deprived of education as the crisis in eastern #DRCongo escalates.

An additional 330,000 children are now out of school with fears many may never return to education.

“In the first two months of 2025, a total of 13 Palestinian children have been killed in the West Bank."

"The casualties include a two-and-a-half-year-old, whose pregnant mother was also injured in the shooting."

Tremendous! You haven't changed Nigel!

Happy new year Ursula!

Merry Christmas Vrs!

One of our favourite days of the year. 💙

Our Men's Senior squad made their Christmas visit to spend with the incredible patients, families and staff at @alderheycharity.org. 🎄

Hi Vrs! Good to see you here. A very interesting talk and event. Recalling your extensive help led to this reconstruction.

A watercolour - aeriel view of Liverpool's Mann island as it would have looked in 1890. Showing roadways and bridges, several docks and steam or sailing ships, industrial buildings and chimneys, commercial and warehouse buildings and pubs.

Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool waterfront area around Mann Island and the warehouses/pubs of 'Nova
Scotia'. 1890. Including docks, foreground buildings serving the cross-Mersey underground railway and - just in - George's dock (right) later filled in to build the 'three graces'.

I think that's right Urs. There were apparently hundreds of cow keepers over time; domestic dairies because milk didn't travel well?

Thanks P!

Yes, Tara. Was a dense mix of fix and transient but had 0 population after

An aeriel view of art of Liverpool as it would have looked in 1823 - showing its streets and buildings. The picture is annotated with the names of streets and buildings, including the Seamen's hospital, the Infirmary/asylum, St John's church and lane, Lime Street and Shaw's brow.

Re: previous post - some annotated features.

Thanks Ursula! This one was a real surprise to me too!

Thanks so much Mike. According to Crispin Pailing, remains of over 43,000 folk had long since been exhumed and moved to Anfield Cemetery by the time the church was demolished in the 1920s; & the land was redeveloped as Woolies

Hi Tara, thanks! This is more or less the same view today

A watercolour showing an aeriel view of part of Liverpool. The view shows what existed before St Georges Hall, showing encircling streets, a church, markets, Georgian institutional buildings, shops houses and mills.

Watercolour reconstruction; Liverpool 1823. . What existed before St. George's Hall? The first Liverpool Infirmary and asylum, the Seaman's Hospital, a cattle market pre Lime Street station, St John's church, and Shaw's Brow before the grandeur of William Brown Street. Nothing remains.

Hi David! Good to greet you here too and thanks for your kind words as always! Ed

That'd be nice!

The painting itself took six months elapsed time but the research on and off for two years. Several months is fairly typical for execution. Thanks A!

Yes! With Cockerell's Number one Dale Street newly built next door

Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool's Dale Street area/Commercial Quarter in the 1860s (cutting diagonally) with Tithebarn St clipping bottom left, Cavern Quarter top right and Municipal building under construction, top left. Orientation is rightwards to the waterfront.

Fascinating P. Can it be true? Wonder what the objects right of White's are?

A watercolour representation of part of Liverpool as it would have looked in 1769. An aerial view showing buildings, industry, cultivated fields, tree-lined rope walks, a church and ornamental gardens. The painting focuses on Church Street, and Hanover Street

Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool, 1769; the delta of Church Street and Hanover Street: featuring St. Peter's church (the 'pro-cathedral') and the Blue Coat School. Based on a contemporary map by John Perry. Left, the lengthy tree-lined rope walks that would become Bold Street.

A great photo Angie; It feels somehow very now and therefore a more poignant loss.

A watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool's Herculaneum pottery. Showing a birds eye view of the works, surrounding fields a windmill, pottery buildings, kilns, yards, a dock with ships and the river Mersey with shipping.

Watercolour reconstruction of Liverpool's Herculaneum pottery (c.1815) once located in Toxteth Park. Opened 1790s, closed 1841, replaced by Harrington and Herculaneum docks.

A watercolour reconstruction of the Mulberry, showing the Old Dock and activity on the dockside
