Fish and chip shop Bordesley Green East

[LyndaE]

Does anyone remember a fish and chip shop from the 1940s/1950s? It was at 352 Bordesley Green East. More recently it has been a Chop and Wok. My grandparents owned the shop and I would love to know the name of their business.

Of course their names were Arthur and Evelyn Twilton. Their two daughters also worked in the shop Iris and Patricia.

In Kellys it is just listed under Arthur's name

Not a name but in 1954 - not sure if Arthur Twilton was there in that year

The 1955 Kellys, which might well have been written in 1954 gives the owner as Mrs E Carthey

My grandparents had retired by then and were living in Solihull.

Thanks tgatd interesting. I think they sold the shop in the early 50s probably 50 or 51.

That fits with the erolls as the last entry online is 1950. (Not all years are online). They were there on the 1939 register.

Thank you. I just wish I could find out what they called the shop. Probably just Fish and Chips!
