Joseph Livesey
(Born 5th March, 1794, Died 2nd Sept., 1884)
The Founder of the Total Abstinence Movement.

This is a photograph of the Bronze Tablet which The Livesey Trustees have had made for affixing to the following places of historic interest in connection with our Movement.

The Tablet was designed by Mr. Simms, assistant to Mr. Paviere, Art Director of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, and symbolizes Livesey’s interest in Parks and other public amenities.

It has been placed over Swift’s shop in Church Street, where King and Livesey first signed the complete pledge ; The Empress Café, which was the entrance to the Temperance Hotel ; Toulmin & Livesey’s provision shop in Lune Street ; the house in Bank Parade, where Livesey died ; in front of the Temperance Hall ; on the Refuge in Bowness, Windermere ; and one above Mr. Moss’ tablet on the house at Walton. It is hoped to place one on the site of the Cockpit.
