I know it's somewhere in the Liberties but that's about it.
As soon as the Liberty boys and girls start to troop in I bet some of them will not only tell us where it is but post photos of it.'Never look down on a person unless you're helping them up'.

Blackpitts
My old man was a coal and Turf merchant and one of the main depots was at Blackpitts .... I used to think it was called Blackpitts because of it being a coal yard and only applied to the yard ( how singular we think) but have since discovered that the area was called Blackpitts because in the 1300's they buried the victims of the black plague here.
My brothers and cousins would know a hell of a lot more than me about the area .. yo me it was just me Da's coal yard !

But seriously me Da's name is actually on the 1911 Census,he is down as an 8 year old as he was born in 1903.There was a gap of 31 years between him and me Ma.
The only turf and coal merchant in Blackpitts as far as I remember was Mc Henry Bros.
