replied on: 12/31/2005 12:02:51 PM The Chinese restaurant just down from Louie's milk Bar was, as far as I can recall, open for a number of years-I think it is now a Chinese takeaway! We remember going there a few times-it was quite a novelty to have a Chinese in Heanor-before that we would have to travel to Nottingham or Derby for a taste of the Orient, I remember the couple who ran it had a very young family-and on one occasion their little boy came to eat with us. Very pleasant family-nothing was too much trouble for them. |

replied on: 1/14/2006 6:01:30 PM I expect they enjoyed a long overdue retirement. Did the chip shop become a freezer centr after the chippy closed? |

replied on: 3/7/2006 6:33:06 PM Just reading through this thread, I'm actually looking to find some information on Morris Whysall/Wiseall, possible married to Phyllis ... all I know for sure is that he ran the chippy on the corner of Peel Street. I can see that someone remembers a Morris being there ... does anyone remember anything else about him? I'm hoping that this is the same Morris. thanks xx |

replied on: 3/8/2006 9:28:24 AM Hi All I remember is Mr Morris' chip shop on Peel Street - great fish, chips and mushy peas and not forgetting the fritters. Mr Morris used to sell many items, bread, chocolate, fruit, milk, you name it, he sold it. Ann Marie |

replied on: 3/8/2006 3:27:08 PM There is still a chippy on Peel St in the same place as "Maurices" I remember Maurice's well-it was a grocery shop with a chip frying range behind the grocery counter. Evenings and Fri/Sat lunchtimes were his "frying" times. People would take their dishes, plates etc wrapped in a teatowel to have them filled. If you didn't fancty fish or meat pie, Maurice would cut you a slice of home cooked ham to have with your chips. He had a very good reputation around the area. Maurice, if I recall correctly, was a stocky dark haired man, not too tall-he was always working-I seem to recall he had a bad leg, but that could just have been the way he walked as he carried in heavy buckets full of potatoes-chipped and ready to fry. Everything he sold was "top quality" |

replied on: 3/9/2006 12:41:01 PM We always just knew it as Maurice's.One way to find out would be to find the house number of the shop and then look through electoral roll for a year when he lived there(and was over 21!) |
