I remember the chippy my grandma lived next door and my dad worked at the pit do you remember that also the confectioners on the other corner i seem to think Jean Wikstead i think she was called but it all depends on your age if you remember things and if you went up joe morts you will certainly remember that

Re: who remembers
 

I regularly used the chip shop in the 1950's after swimming. I remember getting a years swimming pass for 10 shillings and tried to avoid the time when the miners from next door were finishing their shift as you couldn't get in the hot shower.

Re: who remembers
 

we used to go swimming every sunday morning the pools now don't have patch on the old accy baths everthing seemed to glem from the green tiles to brass and copper pipes, many a time i bang a knee or an elbow on the stone steps at the deep end.
