Cycleracer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Originally posted by whodatden sorry to tell you its not i chippy anymore,i am the builder that did it up.it is now a one bedroom home and at the moment is rented out,the plan for the future is to build an extension on the back to make it a 3 bedroom property Is the ghost still there..... I knew Bernard and Kath very well as they had the chippy at the top of Andover Street to. Bernard was there up to a few years ago. I knew the two sons Anthony and Nicholas ( I think ). Anthony I believe married one of the Gower family. Clarefl, I may know your mum if she worked there during the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falls Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Here is a delicate question regarding Kath and Bernard. Is the last name Greaves and before running the White House, did they run a chip shop at the top of Spital Street (until the mid 60s) ? Or have I mixed them up with someone else. Sorry if I'm right off the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycleracer Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Your right on track mate there, but I'm not sure about the chippy on Spital Hill. As mentioned they had the one at the top of Andover Street from new about 1967 so it is possible they moved from there to the one above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falls Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for info. The reason I asked is I believe I knew Bernard from Pye Bank but he was a few years in front of me. It's possible that Bernard had a younger brother, Raymond, who was in my class. Small world if I'm correct. Once again, thanks for all our help.

Brush06 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I remember this chippy, and I agree it was one of the best - if not the best - in the City. I always used, when I was a postie, to make the delivery pad out so I could call in there for some food. Shame it's no longer in use, they don't make chippies like these anymore.
