Mary Jackson

Mary Jackson was the co-owner of Jackson's Chip Shop on Victoria Street in the 1960s alongside her dour husband Fred with whom she lived with in the flat above the shop.

A more gregarious person than her husband, she happily gossiped with Ida Barlow when she was a customer in the shop in February 1961. In March 1963 Fred was disturbed by a late-night impromptu party being held by Jed Stone, Jerry Booth, Sheila Birtles and Doreen Lostock in the Mission of Glad Tidings and told Mary from his observation post at the window that he would be telling the police in the morning about chairman of the hall, Leonard Swindley.


 * Although her husband appeared irregularly from 1961 to 1966, the February 1961 appearance was the only time that Mary was seen on-screen.
