I saw some earlier photos of a walking day that were taken in Langton Avenue so I presume this is where the family home was. This as you know is just round the corner from where my Nan lived, Smalley Street. Sorry to hear your Sister had passed away

Yes, Josie, I remember her. I think there were two sisters both with the jet-black beehive hairdo, but I definitely recall the one in Oliver's Chippy. I think I've seen her in recent years down Platt Bridge, (though not for a long time now).
