The house in Old Swan where Margaret lived from the age of 9 till her marriage. She used to drive her mother mad by playing ball against the wall. It must have sounded like a beating drum from the inside.

St.Cuthberts School where Margaret was a pupil and Grandma Burkie was a teacher. The botton floor was the school and the upper storey was the church. It was here that Margaret and Colm were married. The church is now closed and the whole building used by the school.

Hugh and Margaret planted a lavender shrub on Grandma's grave. We had great trouble finding it but were moved to realise that in there with her are the bodies of Granfather James Burke, their twin daughters, Catherine and Sarah, and great grandmother Sarah Burke. Ford Cemetery, grave number AS 287

The Devonshire Road house where Cully spent much of his childhood. The family was bombed out of this house and as refugees they were moved to Hoylake.

The Pierhead. Much improved in recent years. Margaret spent much time here in her youth. Always a good place to meet up because most busses had the Pierhead as their terminus.
