Growing up in Ann Street

“My father took over the shop in 1960. I was born in 1967 […] my earliest memories would be way back in the mid 70’s, you know. Whenever […] we were being brought up here above the shop there was loads of people living in Anne Street, Now there’s hardly anybody living above the shops, unfortunately. So the people that own the shops, they lived above the shop, and then the big gardens to the back here so it was a good enough ‘aul place to live, but now unfortunately, there’s very few families living above the shops.”
