I can only ever remember two chippies the one across the road from were we lived on Church Street, Church; it was between Canal Street and Kershaw Street. I can remember going in and helping make chips by pulling the leaver on the chipper, it was a big black b***** that chipped one spud at a time.

The other was the one on the corner of Ormerod Street and Richmond Hill? Or was it Hope Street. The chippy was always a treat; chips and mushy peas in a bowl……can never remember us having fish or anything exotic like pies.
