It's set in Manchester:

and was also filed there (at least in part):

The fact that the daughter's name is Coleen would indicate that the 
family is of Irish origin.

Besides the aristocratic Catholic families (e.g. the Dukes of Norfolk) 
and those of Irish origin, there are also sizeable communities of 
Italian and Polish origin, as well as other European immigrant 
communities from predominantly Catholic countries.
