The McCartney family moved from Speke to 20 Forthlin Road, a post-war terraced council house, in 1955.
Devastatingly, within a year Mary McCartney died, leaving husband Jim to raise 14-year-old Paul and 12-year-old Mike alone. There is an incredible photograph in the kitchen of of the house. Jim in his suit, just home from work, over the sink washing their smalls by hand.
Mike sneaked round the door with his camera all set up and said “dad” then captured the startled look on Jim’s face as he turned. A magical moment captured forever.
