This is a picture of Christine Campbell (nee Howe) on St Patrick Street, off Hardybutts. Part of this street can be seen at the side of St Patricks Presbytery, still with the cobbles. The shop on the right hand side was run by my aunty Agnus Moylett (nee Howe)

I remember the lady stood with the children she was Mrs O’Leary. The street was Higham St going across where they are stood. I remember the little girl.

Such a sweet little girl....looks like her coat was maybe made by her Mother, notice the deep, hand stitched hem.
Just lovely.

Also would the the building in scholefield lane at the top of the photograph be the Mount pleasant pub.

I remember Leslie Bannister’s sister they lived in Anderton St. Related to Harry Highton the clogger.
