Dont know about the oldest, but trolling through all the old posts regarding chip shops. I lived on Crown street. 5 houses up on the other side of St Oswalds. Used Lens quite a bit between 53 and 65. Got to agree with all the comments, He was the best. Does anyone remember the chippy that was on the corner of Crown street and Ranger street. I think thats where the saying Cheap as chips came from because his chips were 4d and Lens were 6d. But the 4d chips were absolute ****. I do remember the Gas light outside the shop. Malcolm Taylor and Tony Boardman and me used to hang about till he shut in the evening and got some free left overs.
