Fried Fish Shop

This fish and chip shop – which would have been called a fried fish shop in the 1920s and ‘30s - is a replica of a shop still standing in Lower Lichfield Street, Willenhall. Originally built as a house, like many others it was converted to a front room shop around 1900.

The outbuilding in the yard behind is a scaled down version of the original remaining in Willenhall. The coal fired frying range and interior fittings are from a fish and chip shop at Old Birchills in Walsall and date from the late 1920s. They are really too small to satisfy today's demands.

This shop is only open during peak times, Traditional Fish and Chips can also be purchased from Hobbs and Sons Fish and Chip Shop
