Anyone remember when it was Alfies, now that was a proper chippy. Alf used to chop the wood with an axe behind the counter to throw in the open fire stove that fed the friers, meanwhile Annie did the serving.
If Alf's was shut there was always Keith's (now Chans) a few yards away.
Probably the 2 best chippies around at the time.

Always knew it as Skidmore's - presumably his surname

As a fairly infrequent visitor these days my vote would go to the Chipmonk on Boundary Road.

Not many 'proper' chippies left.

The Chinese chips never taste as good.

Fingerpost Chipmunk and Marg's probably best left.

Minging Margs? I can't agree.
