Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 The first Fish and Chip shop I knew (the one at the left end of the block). Orford Avenue, Clifton. Foreign food hadn't been invented then, so they only sold fish, chips, peas, fish cakes, and pies. Everything was served in real newspaper which you could read whilst eating. The shop was split into two halves which you can see on the photo. The left side with the clear window was the take-away section; the right side with net curtains was the eating-in section, which was exotic and special with formica tables and tubular steel chairs. And as a kid, you went with your own money and asked for "6 chips"; which wasn't referring to how many you got, but the cost - 6d. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
