There's clearly a continuing enthusiasm for a (free, open access) 'space' for women in our city to meet friends old and new, and just to catch up on the news. It's fun; so come! Please note: future meetings now at Everyman Bistro, 5 Hope Street, Liverpool L1 9BH. ]]> http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2008/10/06/monday-women-meet-at-heart-soul-liverpool/feed/ 0 dreamingblogger 08.10.06 Monday Women @ Heart & Soul, Liverpool 08.10.06 Monday Women @ Heart & Soul, Liverpool http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2008/07/04/monday-women-returns-to-heart-soul/ http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2008/07/04/monday-women-returns-to-heart-soul/#comments Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:15:44 +0000 Hilary http://hburrage.bpweb.net/wordpress/?p=478 After some great times at El Rincon (thanks for the warm welcome and hospitality, Francisco and co!) the Monday Women group is delighted to be returning to Chumki Banerjee's Heart & Soul Bistro in Liverpool's city centre. Meetings will continue to be on the first Monday of every month, from 5.30-ish for about two hours (come and go as you wish or need to; and the e-group continues anyway, of course).

The area lies in the heart of Toxteth - Dingle, comprising four adjacent sites: the early seventeenth century Ancient Chapel of Toxteth (the original place of worship of astronomer Jeremiah Horrox or Horrocks), the Turner Nursing Home built by Alfred Waterhouse in 1882-5, Dingle Overhead Railway Station, constructed deep underground and opened in 1896, and the Dingle Gaumont Cinema, erected on the site of the old Picturedrome in 1937. ]]> http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2007/01/12/liverpools-ancient-chapel-of-toxteth-dingle-gaumont-cinema-the-turner-nursing-home-dingle-overhead-railway-station/feed/ 10 dreamingblogger Liverpool Toxteth Chapel (small) 100x143.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Chapel inside.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Chapel inscription100x312.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Chapel graveyard 180x225.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Chapel Horrox plaque-closeup.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Gaumont Cinema Dingle Lane & Park Lane160x216.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Turner Nursing Home 140x211.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Turner Nursing Home sculpture 40x100.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Turner Nursing Home chapel 140x281.jpg Liverpool Dingle Toxteth Turner Nursing Home turret 140x53.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Overhead Railway Station (looking down)160x168.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Overhead Station group 160x217.jpg Liverpool 'The Dockers' Umbrella' book by Paul Bolger 160x181.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Overhead Station Tunnel to Herculaneum Dock 160x232.jpg Liverpool Toxteth Dingle Overhead Station buffer 100x98.jpg http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2006/12/27/monday-women-06-liverpools-no-cost-mutual-support-group-relocates/ http://dreamingrealist.co.uk/2006/12/27/monday-women-06-liverpools-no-cost-mutual-support-group-relocates/#comments Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:48:47 +0000 Hilary http://hburrage.bpweb.net/wordpress/?p=305 Monday Women is a no-cost group, open to all, which meets and has an e-group.
