McCann - Chip Shop Liverpool

Post by **Kevin McCann** » 05 May 2010 20:47

My great grandfather Thomas McCann used to own a chip shop somewhere in Liverpool sometime after 1924 and upto 1939. Not sure what resource I can consult to confirm this and find more details. Can anyone help? Thanks Kev

Hi Kevin,

Some of the members have old trades directories on CD, I have a few of them and I looked in the 1938 Directory, but the only McCann Fried Fish Dealer was a John McCann 490 Prescot Road.

Is that of any help to you?

Hi Jan

Thanks for that. Thomas had a brother John so that may be a connection - 490 Prescot Road - any idea if that is the Liverpool end or the Huyton end of Prescot Road?

Thanks again fo for your help

Just found out 490 is in Old Swann and is today a Chinese Chippy!

Hi Kev,

I think it's the Old Swan end if you go to google maps and type in prescot road L13 3DB.
