Chip shops near you (how many)
We lived on Pendle street from the mid 1950's so we were lucky to have the chippy owned by the Sutch's on the corner of Perth St. As I got older I remember getting closer and closer to being able to rest my elbows on the counter top! Does anyone remember Kens chippy, can't remember the street it was on but it was off Willows Lane just up from the church where the chapel of rest is now. He was the last shop to only sell fish, chips and mushy peas, no fancy things like pies! At their peck there was 5 chippy's within a 5 minute walk from our house. By the way we could only afford to use them on Friday night, pay night. One last thing, do you remember that one opposite the Accy baths. I thought they had the best chips in town!! I went in years later on the way home from having a pint and they couldn't have tasted worse!!!! Must have been all the chlorine in the baths water that made them taste good when I was a kid!!
