It makes more sense, though, as my mother always claimed there was a chip shop next door. The photo shows "Bleasdale's". Also, the comment about the factory stack in the background. There was nothing in the back of # 158 as far as I know, but there was a factory behind # 144.

I'm only grabbling handfuls of air, of course, and I defer to your knowledge.
