Funny how I can't recall a take away chip shop or even a restaurant there. It was probably not open on a Sunday night when the Monkey walk was on - or I was too busy eyeing up the sheilas to notice.

Hi Milda,
where exactly was it? The descriptions on here are very confusing. I can't place it.

John, at that time it would be equidistant between the Melbourne Café and the Regal Cinema - on the other side of the road would have been the church where my sister was married and which is now a furniture shop as mentioned by Frank.

Hughie, thanks.
Now I remember. What confused me was the reference to the church. I thought that was the one in Dockhead St. I forgot there was one in Hamilton St. too.
