My Great Gran's house was at the bottom of St James RD the family name was Flynn, my gran lived there and my sister and I were there most weekends. I wanted to transfer to the school cause I like the brown and yellow uniform. I remember the Kelly's, and Roonies, and Mrs Young who used to live next door. I remember the sweet shop in the street behind.    miss those days even though some were tough with the troubles
