AITCH:
I do, now that youve mentioned it, remember Mellings Shoe shop on Ince Bar - but I didnt know they were one and the same - as for the other clogger - if you were stood at the top of chatham st - facing the chipper which would have been on your left side - a street then facing - terraced houses on the right (that first house later became a betting shop) the clogger would have been a few doors down from that.
As for that chipper (the Oak Tree pub being a few doors further up Belle Green Lane) I can picture the woman - heavy set - but I cant recall her name.
I also have fond memories of her - her bark was worse than her bite - and yes - she used to give you a bag of chips whenever you brought in clean newspaper - used then to wrap the fish n chips.
