Dorothy's, known to Valley weekend revellers as Dottie's. At least it was so in my youth (I am 76). If I remember correctly, back in my teens (1964) there was only one chippy, Dorothy's, on Caroline Street which was only ever called Caroline Street back then. The other chippies and the nickname Chippy Lane came much later.
in 1996-1997 I used to work at Tony's Fish Bar...it had three managers [Nadir, Merza and Rezza] and all of them migrants from Iran. Not sure all three of them still alive or not.
Chip alley rather than chippy lane or simply Caroline street. Was always Tony’s or Dorothy’s nothing else. Unless you were flash with funds and it was charlestons at the end or Taurus around the corner. Steak and chips even during mad cow scare and open through the night. We used to do Taurus around 3am once a month
Chip Alley, mun. The perfect way to finish the evening. 😊
You know it!
