Mullaneys in Wolverhampton
Here are some photographs taken on 2 July 2005, when we visited Wolverhampton, where the Mullaneys lived after they left Stockport. They lived in the south-eastern part of Wolverhampton, and the old houses, grouped around communal courts have now vanished, but the streets remain.
