The ward was first formed in 1953, its boundaries were changed in 1980 and was dissolved in 2004.

### 1953 boundaries

The ward was part of the Liverpool Walton Parliamentary constituency.

### 1973 election

Following the Local Government Act 1972 the ward boundaries of the council were altered. The number of wards was reduced from 40 to 33 and the aldermanic system was abolished. Pirrie ward was retained and returned three councillors.

### 1980 boundaries

A report of the Local Government Boundary Commission for England published in November 1978 set out proposals for changes to the wards of Liverpool City Council, maintaining the number of councillors at 99 representing 33 wards. Pirrie ward was retained to be represented by three councillors.
The report describes the boundaries of Pirrie ward as "Commencing at a point where Utting Avenue meets Richard Kelly Drive, thence northwestwards along said drive to Walton Hall Avenue, thence northeastwards along said avenue to the northeastern boundary of Walton Hall Park, thence northwestwards along said boundary to the southeastern boundary of Warbreck Ward, thence generally northeastwards along said boundary and southern boundary of Fazakerley Ward to the western boundary of Gillmoss Ward, thence southeastwards along said boundary to Utting Avenue East, thence southwest-wards along said avenue and Utting Avenue to the point of commencement".
The ward was part of the Liverpool Walton Parliamentary constituency.

### 2004 election

A review by the Boundary Committee for England recommended that the council was formed of a reduced number of 90 members elected from 30 wards. Pirrie ward was dissolved and distributed into the new Norris Green ward and the re-arranged Clubmoor ward, with a small part in the rearranged Warbreck ward.
# Local Fabian societies

There are 45 local Fabian societies in the United Kingdom, aiming to bring Fabian Society debates to communities around the country. Some have continuously existed since the 1890s to the present day.

## General history

Most local Fabian societies have risen and fallen over the years. The Fabian local societies were given a substantial boost in World War Two when re-founded by G.D.H. Cole and Margaret Cole, who noted renewed interest in socialism and that wartime evacuation created chances for Fabians to strengthen influence outside London.

## Bournemouth

Bournemouth Fabian Society has been in existence since 1892 and as such, is one of the oldest local societies. Beatrice Webb was a key early contributor, having been educated there, and Rupert Brooke. The society has come and gone, with peaks in 1924 (during the first Labour Government) and in World War Two. It fell into abeyance between 1960 and 1966, but re-emerged and has maintained eight monthly meetings until the onset of Covid-19.

## Central London

Like other local Fabian societies, the Central London Fabian Society (CLFS) was given a substantial boost during renewed interest in socialism in World War Two. Events included country walks, tea dances and music appreciation sessions. By the 1960s, hundreds of members attended weekly CLFS meetings in Conway Hall and the society contained a 'Science and Technology Circle' which examined Operations Research. The CLFS has been in continuous existence since then. Since the late 2010s it has undergone substantial revival and expansion, sometimes drawing on archival research for inspiration.

## Oxford

Founded in 1895, Oxford Fabianism has gone through several phases, being named Oxford University Fabian Society, Oxford City Fabian Society, Oxford Area Fabian Society, and Oxford Fabian Society (its current name). Visiting speakers have included Ramsay Macdonald, Sidney Webb, Rajani Palme Dutt and many more. Oxford Fabians have conducted social research projects over the decades, including into Oxford youth activities, colonial government, and composition of Oxfordshire public boards.

## Research

It has long been known that the history of the local Fabian societies has been less investigated than that of the Westminster Fabian Society. In 1962 historian A.M. McBriar observed that it was hard to chart the influence of Fabian local societies as their history was under-researched.
Some local Fabian society archives are held in the London School of Economics archives, largely focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Researching more recent periods has required using local archives, private collections and oral history interviews.
Since June 2020, the Central London Fabians have been leading research into Fabian local history as part of the 'Fabian Challenge Fund'.

He exhibited this series in a few venues in Connecticut as well in Boston, Massachusetts.
In 2005 Seehafer left the U.S. to work and live in Berlin (Germany) where he worked as a photographer as well continued his painting and mixed media work. Among them was a digital collage "Untitled 1990" which was based on his cart paintings and studies of the late 1980s and early 1990s. This particular image would be presented in different formats including a photo and mixed media version done in 2014.
There have been various academic papers and treatises discussing Massurrealism.

# Port Alfred High School

Port Alfred School is a state run, co-educational school located in the coastal town of Port Alfred, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
The Port Alfred School community celebrates its origin at a special Founders Day Assembly in August each year. On this special day, everyone takes the time to reflect on just how far our town's oldest school has come since those early days of 1883. This was the year that the school was officially converted into a Government School and it was housed in an Anglican church building in Park Road. The school then had an enrollment of about fifty boys and girls.
Over the intervening years, the school has grown to nearly 1000 children from creche to Matric situated on a beautiful campus is formerly known as Alexandra Park on the R72. Rooted in a proud past, the Port Alfred High staff, governing body, and alumni work together to move with the times, catering to the needs of our local children on a multitude of levels.
The school's motto, “Facta Non Verba” meaning “Deeds and not Words” is an underlying yet constant theme which the School underpins at every opportunity. Honesty, integrity, grit and determination, per- severance, loyalty, and commitment are qualities held in high regard by one and all at Port Alfred High.
Above all, Port Alfred School is a family centered school and this ethos allows for the investment of personal attention in its valued pupils to further their growth and provide an all-round education of an excellent standard.
# Placidus Timmons

Brother Placidus, O.S.F., (17 April 1948 – 22 January 1997) was an Irish Catholic Franciscan Religious Brother and missionary who was shot to death at the mission school he headed in the Rift Valley Province, Kenya, in January 1997 by the local police chief.

## Early life

He was born Larry Timmons in Delvin, County Westmeath, Ireland. As a young man he became a member of the Franciscan Brothers of Ireland at Clara, County Offaly. Upon entering the novitiate of that religious institute he took the name Placidus. As well as being furnished with a theological education, he held a degree from the National University of Ireland at Galway.

## Missionary

In 1982, Timmons went to Kenya on missionary work, and helped oversee the construction of churches and schools in the Diocese of Nakuru. He was a highly respected schoolteacher, and worked for many years to obtain better political rights for his students and parishioners. Shortly before his death, Timmons protested the government's apparent practice of issuing new voting cards preferentially in areas that supported President Daniel arap Moi of the Kenya African National Union.
In the early morning of 22 January 1997, approximately 15 armed burglars raided the secondary school at Lare headed by Timmons, the latest in a series of violent and deadly raids that month on Franciscan establishments. Despite poor rural communication, local police arrived quickly; one of them, Francis Kimanzi Mbaya, was a man whom Timmons had accused of corruption. Mbaya fired repeatedly at Timmons, killing him instantly. The burglars were never found or arrested, and the police maintained that Timmons was shot accidentally.
The Nakuru Diocese claimed in the local newspaper that the police had arranged the raid themselves in order to silence Timmons after a confrontation with local officials over bribery and voting discrimination. The diocese administrator accused the authorities of not giving enough attention to the circumstances of the death or evidence that pointed toward a conspiracy. Mbaya was charged in the incident, but his trial was halted amid requests by Ireland and the European Union for further investigation.
The government's investigation ended in December 2000. It found that Mbaya had a chance to recognize Timmons, had not asked Timmons to surrender before firing, and had continued firing after Timmons dropped to the ground and pleaded with him to stop. It further criticized the local police for failing to investigate the incident and releasing suspects improperly. Mbaya was convicted of manslaughter in July 2004. He was sentenced to ten years in prison.

## Legacy

Timmons was buried in his native country on the grounds of the Franciscan monastery at Clara, County Offaly. In 2000, a memorial plaque was also erected at the Church of the Assumption in his home town of Delvin.
# Denton Castle

Denton Castle is a motte and bailey castle built in the village of Denton, Norfolk, England.

## History

Denton Castle was built after 1088, following the Norman invasion of England, probably by William d'Albini, who linked his estate at Denton to that at Buckenham, where he also built a castle.

# Death in a Strange Country

Death in a Strange Country (1993) is the second novel in Donna Leon's Commissario Brunetti mysteries set in Venice and the sequel to Death at La Fenice (1992).

## Plot summary

Early one morning Brunetti is confronted with the body of a young American serviceman fished out of a fetid Venetian canal. All clues point to a mugging, but robbery seems too convenient a motive. Then something incriminating is found in the dead man's flat, and Brunetti becomes convinced that somebody is taking great pains to provide an easy solution to the crime. When he uncovers collusion between U.S. bases abroad and international business interests involved in toxic waste disposal, he exposes the sinister face of the military-industrial complex. Add to this the corruption of Italian politics, and the reader sees Brunetti rendered helpless in the face of evil. Only a vengeful Sicilian mother can bring a bit of justice to the world Leon has created.

## Adaptations

Death in a Strange Country was adapted for television in 2006 by Teamworx Produktion GmbH as Endstation Venedig, part of its Commissario Brunetti Mysteries series, starring Uwe Kockisch as Guido Brunetti.

# Port Alfred

Port Alfred is a small town with a population of just under 26,000 in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It is situated on the eastern seaboard of the country at the mouth of the Kowie River, almost exactly halfway between the larger cities of Gqeberha and East London and 30 kilometres (19 mi) east of Cannon Rocks.

## History

Port Alfred was established in the early 1820s by British settlers who were moved into the area by Lord Charles Somerset as there was conflict between the Cape Colony and the Xhosa people. Originally, it was two separate towns (settlers arriving on the west bank in 1820 named their settlement Port Kowie, and those arriving on the east bank named theirs Port Frances).
In 1860, when Queen Victoria's son Prince Alfred visited, the name was changed in his honour.

### Port

In 1839, William Cock and George Hodgkinson started to block the natural river mouth to the east and canalise the present opening to the sea. By 1841 South Africa's first man-made harbour was opened after completion of the stone-lined channel between the ocean and the Kowie river. This allowed high-masted sailing ships with their heavy cargo to dock at the wharf.

## Transport

Port Alfred is located on the junction of the R67 and R72 roads. The R67 connects Port Alfred with the N2 at Makhanda to the north, while the R72 joins the N2 near Colchester to the west and follows the coast to East London in the east.

## Education

Educational establishments based in Port Alfred include Stenden South Africa (a subsidiary campus of Stenden University in the Netherlands), a private Christian school (El Shaddai Christian Academy), the largest aviation training school in the Southern Hemisphere (43 Air School), Mtyhobo Primary School, Dambuza Primary School, Nomzamo High School, Kuyasa Combined School and public school, Port Alfred High.
