Going back to your very early post (sorry only just caught up).
I think the couple who had the chippie on York St were John and Dora Birtles and I think his brother Bill had a garage down Clayton and sold Vanguard cars. Wouldn't like to fill one up with petrol today.

Thanks for the comments on my thread, glad it's given pleasure to folks. Don't know the name Birtles but in the late 60s the York Street chippy was owned by a family named Greenhow. I know because my teenage brother who was just about to go off to university got their daughter pregnant. They married and had a son but it didn't last.
