I didn't live in the Accrington area until the late 1960,s so I can't comment about the price of chips over here.
When I was about 7 and lived in Walsden just as the WW2 ended my mum used to send me to our little corner chippy for a 2 pence bag of chips for me and my brother. We got plenty each as well. When I was a little bit older and still couldn't mange to stomach meat (and can't to this day) we would sometime have a meat pie to share. I had the crust off the top and our kid had the meaty bit from the bottom. As for fish I had to sit outside while my parents had one because I was sick when I smelt it.
