Great photo resource. Thank you. [yes, figured out how to quote properly].Hi Treen and welcome to the forum, there are lots of members that lived in this area and I have a vague recollection of a shop at the top of Upper Webster Street. If you look at this website we have a picture of the pub which was opposite the shop. I would love to see any images you have and add them to the website.

i used Berthas ,and a shop off webster st. i the coal was kept at the back of the shop the entrance was in parliment st.No...No coal yard to my knowledge, the only coal yard I can recall in my area was Berthas on Park Lane ..
yes it was a handy shop i used it when fetching a bag of off cuts from the wood yard in the cart. (a old pram) lolI had forgotten that shop, they didn't have a great deal of coal if I remember correctly, its the first shop in the photo you just posted..
The shop was Cissie McHugh's. My Aunt.Re the picture of a boy on a bike just posted on the main site. I am fairly sure the boy is Reg Upson (Upton)? and the shop behind him on the corner of Upper Webster/Parliament Street was run by Cissie McHugh.
Thank you, I will start a new thread and explain further in there.Can't see much, a marriage, a death and a probate for a Thomas but the various spellings for Mcallister make it tricky. What places your Mcallister family on Upper Webster St?
If you want to give further details it is probably best to start a new thread 'Mcallister Family' or something similar in Surnames Interest (link below) so your query doesn't get overlooked in this street thread.
Cissie McHugh was my aunty. Mchugh 's were a big family. My mum was Lilly McHugh. I was born in Clarendon St. 1951. Moved to Great Barr, Perry Barr, South Australia.Re the picture of a boy on a bike just posted on the main site.
