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.

Remember the first one, and I seem to remember there being one on Henry St, just around the corner from the Stag, but the few grey cells left are wlosive when questioned.
