Chip Shop, Opposite the Holte End Witton Lane

C

curry and chips

proper brummie kid
Anyone remeber a chip shop which was opposite the Holte end villa park, if you watch any old villa footage from the eary 70s (3rd divison)
you can see the roof of it, the ground wasnt so enclosed.

Any photos anyone ??
 
Yes , I lived in Hillside Road in the 70's (by Brookvale Park) and was a regular visitor to the Villa, I remember the 'chippies' but cannot ever remember going in, used to have a pie at half time instead in the Villa ground. I left Hillside Road in the early 80s and my interest in football waned after that. To me football is no longer a sport - just a buisness, money first, players 2nd and fans last Eric
 
Yes it was called Cissies I think or that was the name of the lady that owned it, I lived just down the rd in Holte rd and dad always bought us chips back on the way back from the Astn Social club when it was on the corner. I have a pic somewhere I will try and find it.
