Hi,
Can anyone tell me about the shop on the end of Banning Street,
the one owned by G Weaver?
Does anyone know what was sold there?
Any info on G Weaver himself?
Thanks.

My Dad said a woman named Molly King lived in one of these streets, and sadly died very young in tragic circumstances. Anyone remember her?

Thanks a million for posting these amazing photos!....We lived in Banning Street no 31 and all went to St Laurences Church and School.We are McGinn's. Would love to hear from anyone else who went to St Laurences or lived around this area.
