 In 1902 the Bamber family relocated to Smollett Street in nearby Bootle , one of several moves that caused Elizabeth 's formal education to be divided among several schools . Alongside her normal schooling her political education began at the Marmaduke Street Socialist Sunday School , and through the medium of her mother 's campaigning activities . One of Elizabeth 's early memories was of the soup kitchen for the destitute which Mary helped to run on St George 's Plateau : " I remember the faces of the unemployed when the soup ran out ... I remember blank , hopeless stares , day after day , week after week , all through the hard winter of 1906 – 07 " .
