I think I must have been a 'founder member' customer of Chan's chippy -
you all remember his place was right across the road from 'The Load Of Mischief' (I used to catch the B3 there to get to Blackburn and St Peters where I schooled) There must have been a few envious chip shop owners around at the time especially when he bought his first Jaguar which he always had parked outside the front door -- but what the hell - all the English chippies closed at 10pm or thereabouts and Chan kept serving until the early hours - I'm testimony to that as I used to call in there (at the tender age of 17) on my way back from the TOASTRACK college in Manchester, on the last bus, about 1am!! - for me it was chips, steak pud, mushrooms cooked in his 'special sauce', with a dollop of curry sauce- then;- supplied with wooden fork, scoff and make my way on foot to the bottom end of Clayton where I lived at 28 Warwick Ave - (I can taste it now)

Was a regular at the chinese chippy at Oaklea myself during the 70's/80's - never any problems there...There was a good chippy near to the Greyhound traffic lights too - next to the club with the bust outside -can't remember if it was a Con or Liberal club...

Re: Anyone remember Chans Chippy in Clayton?
 

It was a working mens club, always known as the top club (can't remember its real name). My uncle was a member there.

Re: Anyone remember Chans Chippy in Clayton?
 

When I was first married, I lived at the bottom of Henry St. We had a communal yard and Chans little boy used to come in our kitchen and ask for cornflakes...he loved them and would eat them like crisps.
I do not remember him being called Stephen.....I think he had a sister too.....I remember them both as smiley faced toddlers.
