I have similar memories of Elliots Chippy (which for some reason was nicknamed "Santa's"). In the early 60's in the evenings the back room was more of a coffee bar-full of teenagers. We used to spend evenings parading from Elliot's to the coffee bar down past the Empire cinema (we called this the monkey run!)stopping in shopdoorways now and again for a snog with some spotty lad, who with a bit of luck may take you to a town hall dance, which were held on occasional Saturday nights-I recall Freddie and the Dreamers playing at the town hall once., also Wee Willie Harris with his green hair causing a stir when he visited the coffee bar!
