Does anyone remember a chip shop on at the side of a bombed site on Park View Road opposite the top of Burnell Road.

 

As a kid I used to buy chips there, they were always cooked in dripping and tasted great.

I had a good mate who lived at the bottom of Broughton road,actually on Penistone rd.

Lived in a big house,his name was Malcolm Mackenzie (custard) to his pals. He then lived on Rudyard and sadly died a few years ago.

Actually 2 up, 3 down if you count the off shot kitchen. My mate Graham Turner lived in the front room with his mum. Graham's mum and Custard's mum were sisters.
