Totall agree with that
Church st chippy is good as is Abbey Friar on abbey st, both just do good fish and chips.
Also Abbey Frair won chippy of the year not long ago.

I was in the Read Con last night when my mate came in.
He said he had been to Clayton street for his tea and the queue was still as long as it used to be even though it has changed hands.
When I used it on a regular basis the queue would be round the corner a quarter of an hour before opening.
Ya can remember that Gremlin, was a pain if you were working and needed a quick lunch
Abbey Friar definitely.
The Chinese on Moscow mill st, can't think of it's name off the top of my head. But fantastic fish and chips, in fact no complaints about anything we have had from there.
Leonard's, corner of Ranger St and Eden St.
It's been knocked down?...no one told me!

Thats the one, cheers restless. 
the origonal abbey friar that was demolished was even better.It was about where the traffic lights are or there abouts at the tesco petrol station near the cops.I forget the womans name that owned it but she knew me when i was a kid so she must have been from baxenden
Ya it was next door to Clives hairdressers, bottom of Plantation Street
Would it be a lady called Jean Hampson, husband name of Neville? I know they had a chippy on Abbey Street, could it have been that one?
It was on that part of Abbey St, facing Palmer Rileys Electrics,
it will now be under the first set of pumps nearest to Plantation St.
The owners did live somewhere up Manchester Rd, when the firemans strike was on in the 1970's, he would pull up on his way home, and give the lads on the picket loads of fish & chips.
Retlaw.
Yes it was Neville and Jean
Hard to choose between Abbey Friar, the one at West End on main road and Clayton Street Harwood. Someone choosing York St was a surprise to me. To me that's one of the worst
Jean's a widow now, she turned 80 this year. She lives on Queens Road West opposite St Christophers. She's supposed best friends with my elderly cousin who lives round the corner, though they fall out all the time like a couple of schoolgirls. It makes me laugh!
