18th April 2017: Community Spirit Clearing The South Slip
On Monday 18th April 2017, eleven volunteers spent a productive two hours clearing the weeds and grass from the South slip and the stretch of alleyway that runs along the seawall from South slip towards Manorial Road. They filled over 70 bags of soil and grass as they uncovered six steps, but an old photograph (above right) shows there are still another 10 steps buried!!
A.G.Grenfell of Mostyn House asked the council to amend nine feet width of the steps on the South Slip at Parkgate and create a slope for perambulators, bath-chairs, carts and boats and this idea had been accepted. The school itself had a new organ installed, a tubular pneumatic model, horse riding had been revived and a stable built.
A small section from Susan Chambers WW1 article of June 1915
The photo on the right shows all 16 steps - as steps. Following the request of A.G.Grenfell in 1915 (above), the recent photo on the left shows the 9 feet of slope on the seaward side of the South slip.
