The accommodation briefly comprises: entrance hall with built-in cylinder cupboard and a large double storage cupboard, open-plan kitchen and living room with folding doors to the dining room/bedroom two, bedroom one with fitted wardrobe and bathroom. I found ‘Welcome To Weaver Street’ to be a gripping and emotional read, which kept me guessing and which kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Once the gunfire stopped, mothers and fathers ran to their children, who were lying bleeding, crying with agonised screams. Thirteen people were killed over the next few days, including three Catholic civilians killed by the “murder gang.

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). One slight criticism of the book is that it’s a bit slow-paced and maybe could have been edited a bit, as it’s quite long and occasionally repeats itself. Residents of Weaver Street are a tight knit community and the couple receive a mixed welcome as personal history with the Irish colour’s some responses.

Nationalist-leaning newspapers increasingly referred to the "pogrom against Catholics" in Belfast after the bombing and wrote in harrowing terms of how Catholics were being "exterminated", in many cases by "uniformed assassins". The Catholic residents of Weaver Street endured more suffering after the bombing when they were chased at gunpoint from their homes by loyalists in May 1922, displaced and homeless. This spacious four bedroom semi detached property is presented to the highest of standards and boasts a wealth of charm and character and is situated in the heart of Winsford. The Free State provisional government claimed that by shepherding more children on to the street, this “rendered the bombers’ work more effective than if they had been scattered” over two streets.

As she queued in a butchers on the Newtownards Road in east Belfast, a gunman walked up behind her and shot her in the head. Kitty Conlon is the strong main character of the book, coming over from Ireland to Liverpool with her husband they move into a house in Weaver Street that has been bequeathed to her husband Tom by a great uncle. Butters John Bee Estate Agents also offer a professional, ARLA accredited Lettings and Management Service.One of their first acts was to re-mobilise the Ulster Special Constabulary (USC), known as the “Specials”, who had been stood down under the terms of the Truce. A welcoming entrance hall, has a convenient WC, and leads to the kitchen dining room facing the front elevation. I couldn't stand Tom, even at the start of the book, I didn't didn't really like him and that ending was a bit of a twist.

I haven’t read every book that she has written to date which is something I hope to rectify fairly soon. The final, most savage and most prolonged peak of killings was not in response to the signing of the Treaty but came in the spring of 1922.On the first Sunday of each month we have our themed First Sunday Family Praise which is more informal and includes activities for all the family. One reason might have been the numbing to the violence of that year, 1922, when many more children were killed.

The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Weaver Street, Chester, CH1 2BQ is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021.The violence in Belfast also had an added dimension in that it was part of a reaction by unionism against the struggle for Irish independence. In the House of Commons the following day, colonial secretary Winston Churchill read out a telegram in which Prime Minister of Northern Ireland James Craig lamented the “dastardly deed” but was largely exercised by the attack on special constables in Clones the previous weekend. Well for the answer to that story and so much more you are just going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you. While condemning the "dastardly deed, involving the lives of children" in Weaver Street, "a Sinn Féin area", Northern Ireland prime minister James Craig's condemnation was qualified.
