About Barbara

I was born in a town called Rochdale which is in Lancashire. There was just me, my older brother, Roger and Mum. My dad had died when I was a baby so Mum had to work very hard to look after the three of us. We lived in a street just like Coronation Street and we didn't have much money. On the opposite side of the street was a great big cotton mill which made our house very dark. We had to keep the light on all day.
