Mousehill Green
This picture is of Mousehill Green, Milford. You haven't a title for the picture, so I thought I'd let you know. I remember it from 1953 onwards, but this picture obviously predates that.
The green was often used for fairgrounds. The shop by the road was the Delicatessen, now a craft shop I think, not sure though.

You're right, there was a fish and chip shop there. In the 1950s the fair used to come thereabout twice a year.

RE: RE: Mousehill Green
The Fish and Chip shop was unique to the area. The chips always had a slightly strange taste; my scoutmasters (Gordon Prior and Mark Hope - 1st Milford) used to say that it was because the fryer chewed tobacco and he tested the temperature of the fat by spitting in it. At the summer fair there was always a gymkhana in the field opposite the green.

RE: RE: Mousehill Green
Wasn't there a fish and chip shop by Mousehill Green? I've got a memory of being about ten years old, having been out on the horse drawn F. Raymond Stovold milk cart, helping Jock Wishart on his Saturday morning deliveries. We'd finished off the round by going out along Lower Mousehill Lane, coming back on to the Portsmouth Road just south of where this photo was taken. We stopped for fish and chips and I fed some of mine to the horse - I'd never seen so much froth slobber out of a horse's mouth!
