That fish and chip shop was at the bottom of Christmas Steps in the mid 1930s as my Mum used to go there after a Saturday evening spent at the Ice Rink. The following comes from her 'Memories': Before my friends and I parted to go our various ways home, we would carry our bikes down a long flight of steps and when we reached the bottom there was a fish and chip shop. It was a tiny shop in this medieval area. The fish and chips were 3d. and tasted wonderful. After this feast, we visited the kiosk for a cup of tea or coffee. The tea cost a penny ha'penny and the coffee 2d. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
