I lived in this street from birth till 25 yrs old.  My father lived there from 1925 and he never knew that we were built over Williamsons tunnels.  We always thought that the big disused tunnel in the Corporation Yard was a part built railway tunnel which we now know was one of Williamsons creations part finished.  Pat Burke

My paternal grandmother and grandfather, Annie and Walter Hobson, lived in 12 Congress Street from the late 1930s to he mid 1960s.I was told that I went there in the mid 60s and pulled off all the wallpaper accidently, as the houses were so damp

My grandparents, Walter and Annie Hobson, lived st 12 CongressSt front c1937 to c1964.I went there as a child..the wallpaper was peeling off the wall due to damp.

I recall visiting once in the late 60s when Walter & Emily Hobson still lived there. Annie & (grandfather) Walter had moved to Primrose Drive by then and Emily & Walter eventually moved to Skelmersdale. I wonder whether we visited because demolition was imminent and my Dad (Harold Hobson) wanted to see it one last time. He had fond memories of Congress Street.
