Sure there was also one on the corner of Lion St/York St in Church. Remember as kids we used to hang around the corner at closing time to get any chips that they were throwing away.

I remember Leonards chip shop in Ranger Street. The shop always used to be full. Queueing down the side of the counter, sat on the long bench and at times spilling out that you had to sit on wall outside. Leonard and his wife were keen golfers and i do believe they were members of Green Haworth Golf Club
I was only a child then. The 1950s.

The one Cashy is on about on Henry St, does not do deliveries. The Chinese took it over about 6 months ago.

And Len was a real gentleman .

His fish and chips were a pleasure , just as his service was .

When his wife died he enjoyed a game of dominoes on Saturday nights at the Stop and Rest .

Best chippy ever in the history of the universe. We will never see (or taste) his like again. As my ma used to say, "when Leonard died, the secret died with him."

Retlaw.


I'd forgotten about the mixture .... that was damn fine eating:D Also remember the days before OPEC and inflation, when prices didn't keep going up and up and ... well, you get the picture. Those were the days when my body could handle three squares a day plus a skinfull of Thwaites' best bitter, topped off with double pudding chips and peas. Now it's Lipitor and salad:mad:

Can still get decent fish and chips in Kingston. The Pilot House pub downtown is great. Margaret Grogan from Preston is in charge of the kitchen, and part owner of the Pub. Eddie and Sheena Walker, also from Preston, run the Rose and Crown out in the township. Nice atmosphere, oh, and mushy peas. Mrs. Grogan also makes a great steak and kidney pie and decent scotch eggs. Her steak and oyster pie is also a winner. So, if any of you guys are ever over here, you know where to go.
