Regarding your concern for the occupants of the chippie.
The 1939 electoral roll show 248 Green Lane, which was Jack's fish & chips, as being occupied by John Henry and Gertrude Pritchett & family. The 1945 electoral roll show them (and a larger family , presumably others having reached voting age) at the Victoria hotel, Stafford St. Kellys confirms they were there in 1943 and 1944. By 1949 he is running an off licence at 110 Holte road and they are still there in 1950, but seem to have gone by 1956
