Wigan Album

Great chippy, used to go every saturday after a walk around wigan when i was young !!!!!!!

Another touch of nostalgia, thanks for posting!
We also used to go there on Saturdays for a bag of chips and a penny crust after Wigan baths (getting cold shivers remembering the freezing water there).

Yea, the owners at the time put up a very long and hard fight to keep the chippy open, unlike the Pet Shop just down the side that gave in with a nice wave of the Wigan Metro Cheque Book.
I think they should have incorporated such a great chippy in with the new arcade, as they did with the frontal of the old Ship Hotel.

I used to go to this chippy, every day when I was an apprentice at Lowes Market Place for dinners for the tradesmen ( lunches for our southern brothers). The price list said Bread and Butter(10%buter) . That was political correctness before it was invented

fantastic chippy. used to go every Saturday for fish and chips, then sit on the grass across the road in the blazing sun... chowing down! pity its gone now(d@mn royal arcade monstrosity)
