	HUGH McNEILE - LoveToKnow Article on HUGH McNEILE
		A proposal was carried that the elementary schools under the control of the corporation should be secularized by the introduction of what was known as the Irish National System.
		The threatened withdrawal of the Bible as the basis of denominational religious teaching was met by a fierce agitation led by McNeile, who so successfully enlisted public support that before the new system could be introduced every child was provided for in new Church of England schools established by public subscriptions.
		To his influence was also attributed the defeat of the Liberal parliamentary candidates in the general election of 1837, followed by a long period of Conservative predominance in Liverpool politics.

	Kirkby. Who is Kirkby? What is Kirkby? Where is Kirkby? Definition of Kirkby. Meaning of Kirkby.
		In 1947, the Earls of Sefton, the owners of the land, sold the right to build to the Liverpool Corporation, who were seeking to develop the area around the city in an attempt to alleviate the housing shortage caused by the Blitz, and to provide housing for workers on the burgeoning industrial estate.
		The current population of Kirkby stands at 36,400 [1], somewhat down from its peak in the 1960s of 60,000, largely due to falling birth rates and the slow decline of the industrial estate forcing workers to look elsewhere.
		The M57 motorway runs along the eastern edge of Kirkby, and the town is well served by public transport, with train connections to Liverpool and Manchester (via Wigan).

		A number of independent Humane Societies existed in the United Kingdom and the first mention of a Liverpool Society was in the Royal Humane Society Report of 1825, but the organisation was rather a life-saving service of the Liverpool Corporation Dock Committee than a Society.
		A public meeting was held in the Rooms of the Liverpool Underwriters Association on 9th January, at which the Mayor, Hugh Hornby Esq presided, for the purpose of raising emergency funds to meet the pressing needs of the occasion and to form a permanent fund.
		In 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s the average number of cases fell to 100, it dropped to 67 in the 1980’s, 45 in the 1990’s and this trend has continued to the extent that the average is now nearer to 30.

		By 1915 some women were employed as cleaners, releasing other men for duties such as conductors. These men were probably over 40 years of age or medically unfit for the army, as the Tramways kept to this patriotic policy.
