What I have learnt about Bessie Braddock.
Today's picture will follow later, in the meantime here is an answer to your comment Alice, thought I would share with everyone.
Bessie joined then left the communist party and was an ambulance assistant during the war. I mention these first because my Grannie also did both of this things and my dad tells me that Bessie was one of her heroine's.
Back to Bessie - MP and 'ardent' socialist in Liverpool working on maternity, child welfare, youth crime and fashion rights for the 'larger woman', she also got the red lion on British eggs. Quite a good range and in 2003 voted the 8th in a BBC poll of Greatest Merseysiders.........

And here is my picture - a late evening stroll down to Otterspool from where it really didn't llok like we were looking back at Liverpool.
