Yep thats one of those two shops i was talking about Jaysay, was actually corner of Royds and Napier. It was the one that was owned by Mary Capell, then later became a Wibis. Which stood for Wines, Beers and Spirits if i recall.
There also used to be another Chippy or Pie Shop, i think, down at the bottom end of Napier Street/Grange Street ,close to Wellington Street, this was run by Annie Sudders who was also on the Council at the time, she used to have the nickname of "Pie Annie" in the area. After the Shop closed, her Husband used to sit with the door open playing his accordian!!
