I believe the chip shop next to Cooknells was owned by the Martin family. 
In the early 1900s Cooknells had their own factory behind the shop in Beaumont Street, making all the shirts, underware, babies clothes etc. 
The two Bullen brothers who ran the cobblers were long time members of the Salvation Army and in their spare time taught music in their homes.
In the 1950's Seghini's had an ice cream palour in Bridge Street next door to what was until recently a travel agents, Kelly's baby wear shop before that.  It had high stools or so they seemed to me at the time, and dark wood.  Their eskimo pies, wafer biscuit cup filled with ice cream and a chocolate top, were lovely.
Cheers
G

Yes the chippie was martins.  they made their own meat cakes and I have never tasted anything like them since.  there was another chip shop in cowpen quay but I'm afraid the mane of that one also evades me.

The only chippie I remember was on Plessey Road, just above the Spartan's ground.
That would be in the 1950s.

I'm with Michael Dixon on this one,  as soon as I saw the photo  Seghinis came to mind.  As I remember it they were on the ground floor in the 60's as my younger brother used to go to judo classes on the first floor.

Will find out for definite tomorrow as my aunt (aged 84) is coming to stay  and she live off Renwick Road so may know a bit more.

Barbara

Would your brother be on this photo Babara?

Sorry the quality is poor. I think it was taken by Les Cobb who was secretary of the judo club.
