We lived in Crown Street from 1979-1987 (approx), and I'm sure the man who owned the chip shop was called Arther. Could it be the same man? I think the chippy is now a kebab house!

Arthur Wiggins used to run the chippy in the late seventies. He used to work with me at BTR on Centurion Way before that.It's still a chip shop, nota kebab house, in fact no kebabs on the menu.
This is the chippy I said served Fish Chips and peas for £2.20 Friday lunch time. ( normal price £3.30

I remember your mum Steve. Barbara Lambert lived at 84 Stanifield & the shop they had was at the top of Mill ST on the corner, no 61. Stanifield they sold fruit, veg & fresh fish.

thats right he did run it in the late seventies i was still in leyland at the time ( getting into all sorts of unmentionable trouble at belgrave rd).
we didnt have much to do with arthur once mum had died, i went to live with my gran on mill st and my younger sister went to live with relatives (mums sister) in barrow in furness.
i think arthur probably did quite well. I do have fond memories of walking up to the chippy when mum was alive, and me inviting all my mates for a cheap saturday lunch in the chippy.
i wonder what became of aurthur
Kew gardens was a great place to live - i still have gravel under the skin of my knees from learning to ride my bike there

Noel, I stand corrected[
] I drove past there last night and it is still a chippy.Vanessa

Steve I last saw Arthur in 1987 at a caravan site outside Longridge. He was a member of the club there. I was visiting from Wiltshire with a view to moving back up north at the time so it was a bit of a shock seeing somebody you'd known from way back. Vanessa, Fish Chips Peas on Friday lunch £2.20 remember. <bg>

Oh yes I do. Chips were 4d, mixtures 6d and fish 8d at Mrs Worrals.
Thanks Eileen, you made me feel very old.[
