diamondjack Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Does anyone remember what the chippy was called on the corner of Chelmesford Street, dont know if thats the correct spelling. Also any families that lived there in the 60s. this chippy was called Harrys and he ran it with his wife Sandra, beckets was lower down worthing road near ripon street run by old Mrs Beckett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
