The First Fish & Chip Shop
There are rival claims to being the first fish and chip shop. The northern claim is in Mossley, near Oldham, Lancashire. In 1863 a Mr Lees sold fish and chips from a wooden hut in the market and later transferred the business to a permanent shop across the road which advertised itself as the first fish and chip shop. The southern claim is for Joseph Malin who is reputed to have opened a fish and chip shop in Cleveland Street, London in 1860.

Don't know how much they were, but they were a cheap meal.
