Abstract
When there were riots in Liverpool’s Toxteth district in the early 1980s, they led to the closure of the bank I and my father before me had used for over 30 years. This brought to an end the last remaining contact I had with a small area of Liverpool in which I had been born on January 5, 1944, where I had gone to the Hebrew Primary School and the Collegiate Grammar school. The same square mile also housed Liverpool University, where I had obtained my undergraduate degree in psychology in 1964 and my doctorate in 1968.
