Chip Shop Sutherland Rd Baths

[Yosser 10]

Can anyone remember what the chip shop was called up the side of Sutherland road baths? It was on Buckenham Drive. The chips seemed to taste different to other chippies and looked more like the ones we cooked at home. Any memories?

Anyone have memories of this chippy.

Sure do. When we went there with the school swimming we would get one of those small brown loaves rip the top and eat it then fill it with chips. Delicious.

The chip shop was Moody's then on Earsham Street now Buckenham Drive. That property was, like the rest of the area demolished around 1975/76. I think they cooked their food in beef dripping- similar to Lomas' on Main Road Darnall- giving it a unique taste. Hope I'm not starting another 'Chip shop' thread here as they are well chronicled elsewhere.

Hi yosser. Dont remember the chips but I remember the bread. I learned to swim at sutherland road baths! Seemed big at the time but probably about the size of a washbasin really.

I think all the swimming baths were all about the same size with Glossop Road being bigger. Not sure about Longley Park tho'.
