The house where Grandma Burkie had her flat.

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.

52 Mansell Road,Kensington, the house,now much modernised, where Margaret spent the first years of her life. The family was living here during the blitz on Liverpool.

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.
