Fish and Chips for women farm workers on a chilly March day 1948. The van is a converted
An enterprising ex Royal Naval Chief Steward has sunk his gratuity into a mobile fish and chip shop and now takes hot dinners to workers in the fields and villages around the Dartford rural area in Kent.
Once and twice a week he visits the various farms, each on a different day, but mainly between the lunch hours or just before. Workers in the fields now know that on a certain day or two days during the week they have no need to take bread and cheese or sandwiches for lunch - for there will be hot fish and chips.
The ex Naval Chief Stewards name is H C Macroy, and he now has three mobile shops working the Kent farms and villages.
This picture shows one of them, an old ex-government ambulance, serving farm workers on a farm near Wilmington, Kent.
