I used to manage the William Hill on Witton Roundabout sometimes when I was a relief manager. I remember managing it on New Years Day once. I was very hungover as I had been out celebrating my cousin's birthday on the 30th and then celebrating New Years Eve.

If I remember right the chip ship was down the road opposite the betting shop and there was a post office there too.

Chip shop was in Manor Road IIRC, I don't recall there ever being another one there.

there's never been a chippy on the roundabout, there are few fast food outlets. The chippy you are referring to is on manor Road next to the post-office.

I remember a Cafe on Aston Lane , which would have been opposite where the Tesco's is now. It's long gone. Every time I went in there , there was a portly Italian lad who went to the same college as me (mid 80's) . I think his dad may have owed it , but didn't know him well enough too ask.
