Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Kitchen Place? Not Melville Street? Paul Moulden had it briefly late nineties.. Always preferred Crescent Road or Eustace Street back in the day. Melville was always steamy - made the chips soggy imo, and I suspected the fish was sourced from Braddies... Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Still there, the furniture place... They wanted more room and stopped letting the chippy to expand...Moulden moved up Bury Road then. Think the cobbler stuck to his guns and stayed until he decided when to shut up shop. Edited May 22, 2020 by Youri McAnespie Quote

Just googled it and it was actually in Century Mill.....so, what was the place Youri mentioned re Vantona....my ex wife worked there at Coats Viyella, so I should bloody know that....but regards the ex....I can't even remember the colour of her eyes 😂😂 Quote
Traf Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Vantona was down near Moses Gate. Lorne Street area Quote

Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 It wasn't Copyplan, nor Proffits, wasn't Division One either Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Vantona - we always called it Vantona. They had a factory shop just off Egerton Street. Quote

miamiwhite Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane gents, very enjoyable indeed. However...I shall leave a teaser for you.....two chippy's on Deane Church Lane.....one is Rigby's and still there, the other is a great Chinese.....but.....what was the Chinese one called when it was in English hands ? And for the Mount St Joseph puffs on here.......what was the chippy called near the papershop adjacent to Park View Road/Street..Willows Park.......almost opposite Melbourne Road..... Quote
Traf Posted May 22, 2020 Posted May 22, 2020 Can't help on either, I'm afraid. For us Farnworth lads, they were well out of range for us. Quote
