Hello to a Podesta then
Chiappies was also demolished for the tunnel entrance.
Cheers Ged - nice to meet you.
Your chippy went too eh! Seems yer couldn't move for chippies and ice cream parlours down there. Its a wonder people survived eatin' all that stuff?
We must have clogged up thousands of arteries over the years! An we complain about Mc?onalds.
Funny how things change but still stay the same!

Debz. Was at Tommy O'Keeffe's today and he gave me a copy of this photo you can use. It features from right to left (just to be awkward) Gerry and Gene Chiappe (their dad, Gerry senior, a big bloke) was owner of Chiappes cafe/ice cream parlour on Scottie road. Next on the picture are Tommy himself, Jimmy Bellis in the front, the two to the rear are Dennis and Jimmy Hill (no, not that one) and the two on the extreme left are the other 2 Chiappe bros who were running the Manchester concern. The pic was taken in Manchester on a night out.
Also on Scottie at the bottom end were J. Podesta's - fried fish dealer (or Chippy to you and I) - they were at No.48 on the stretch between Gay st and Rose Place and there was an O. Fusco's confectioners at No. 31 and at 284 further up. Also a confectioners called A.B. Buschini. These are all in the Kelly's directory for 1908. Santagelli's ice cream parlour was on the corner of Gerard st and Bennett st right in the heart of Little Italy.
