Do I remember Elliot's Chip Shop! I haven't lived in Heanor since 1975, but I went to the Grammar School between 1955 and 1960. As teenagers we used to spend whole evenings in Elliots back room - five or six round a table with only the money for one plate of chips or a coffee! Friends used to come in with messages from girls waiting outside, which, if oyu were lucky could lead to a trip to the Empire or the Cosy on Saturday night! Mr Elliot as I remember was small,balding man who looked upon us teenagers quite kindly. When I began working in the town after leaving school, I sometimes took my lunch in there, mainly to meet the girls from Morleys!
