The area in London where his parents lived had two story houses built in one continuous row, all around the block, except for openings in the middle of each block where hacks could enter with coal and other supplies. These buildings had numerous apartments, each being a living unit for a family, with ah kitchen and living room down and two bedrooms upstairs. A front door opened onto the cobblestone street and the slate floored kitchen had a door to the back yard and was also handy to the cookhouse. Food could be prepared at home and for a very small sum it could be taken to the cook house to b cooked or a whole hot meal or any part of a meal could be purchased for just a few pence and taken home to eat. These homes were built of stone and roofed with slate. James and his sister, Ann, and brother Dan, lived here with their parents until Jim was five years old.
