There was a small wood warehouse in Hooton place Chris Dillon’s, dad used to work there but I can’t remember the name of the firm though.

Think the Timber Yard was Braithwaites, Joe Ken

[fatboyjoe90]

When I was at St James in the late Thirties we were forbidden by the
school to use the back entry between Chestnut Grove and Hooton Place.
Only one lad had permission because he lived over Costigans on Marsh
Lane. We were never told the reason for the rule. Does anybody know
of any history cennected to the entry ?

[annie]

cant say i knew about that as i always used it and also the empty ground next to dr wethereds surgery as a short cut to school

[tottie]

My aunty and uncle, Nellie and Christy McDowell lived their with their sons Christy and John. We used to play swinging on the old gas lamp on the corner outside Costigans. It was only a small street.

[Babsm]

another family was the mooneys

I remember them, I went to school with Denise Mooney.
They lived next door to Mr and Mrs Savory that moved to Shelley street then Bibbys lane.
