Do you remember the 1950s fish and chip shop?

By Sandie Miller

In the late 1950's I used to go to the Regent Ball Room, and on Saturday nights we would walk home down Church Street.

We used to stop at a fish and fhip Shop that was half way down Church Street to get our fish and chip supper. I remember the fish and chip shop, was next to Dockerells, and on the opposite side of the road was a shell fish shop which I think was called Alanjohns. I remember that we always had to queue for fish and chips as it was always busy at that time of night.

Has anyone got any memories of this shop, or remembers the name?

Church Street: undated but looks either late 1940s/early 1950s

As an ex telegraph boy messenger from 1946 to 1950, I cannot remember any fish and chip shop in Church St. The nearest one was in Gloucester Road at the end of Kensington Gardens.
