Bootle+and+Kirkdale

//This is part of the Hangover city, Liverpool, uk setting// =Bootle and Kirkdale=

Historically The Dingle is a protestant area, settled by welsh immigrants (and more than one welsh witch). The catholic equivalent is in Bootle in the north of the city around the docks. Other than the stronger accent, with carries a more pronounced taint of Irish, the communities and their behaviours are broadly the same. The houses in this area, except for the size, are very similar to those in the Dingle; typically they are 3-4- bed room and have attic space converted to provide more living space for the larger Catholic families.

There is a small community of River Witches just ‘over the border’, in nearby Kirkdale. They live in a collection of houses above a range of shops which they uses as cover for their activities; one is a Cafe, another sells prams, cots and (advice on raising young children and babies) and the finally one is a ‘hippy-health food shop’ which is a good source of herbs and similar paraphernalia for potions and talismans.
