recalls living in a row of cottages on Hosier
Street (now demolished) where the front door
opened onto the street. She also recalled playing
in the road as a child. Opposite was the Hosier
street chapel. One day someone from the chapel
came over to ask if the children would like
to come to the Sunday school. Annie said she
