In the days before inflation, it seemed as if it was 1sh. and 6d. for ever ... I do seem to remember that when they were at the point of the season when the new spuds came on line, the price went up to 8d.. Unlike today, however, it always went back down .... and penny dabs were always a penny.

I remember Leonard's on Eden street across from the Old St. Peter's school, which they knocked down. Best Fish and Chips ever.

Oh what a blast from the past!! I can remember the chippy opposite Accrington baths.
The chips were fantastic.
Mind you there were quite a few in Ossie who made good chips, mon Trinity St, and up New Lane, but I can't remember the names

sm_counsell · 08-01-2010, 17:29

Anyone know why they were called 'Dabs'? often wondered. I know 'dab' was a kind of flat fish but there was nothing 'fishy' in the dabs I ate in Ossie

Len's chippie on Ranger St, 1/6d for Fish and chips, the best ever. I remember queueing outside the shop he was so well patronised. He was selling six penn'orth of chips long after most of the others had put their prices up.

Yep, he was a specialist. That's why his fish 'n' chips were the business. The queues stretching up Ranger Street on Friday teatimes told their own story!

so many chippys have turned into chinese in recent years.
i was just thinking the other day that KEN and his wife ( ive known them for years ) is still going strong at the church street chippy after what must be about 30 years.
Anyone think they might be the longest running owners of an hyndburn chippy ??

my fav chippy now though is moor end chip shop on union road.
