blitzkid Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Does anyone remember a chip shop called the White House which stood in Andover Street, between Rock Street and Nottingham Street? I was a whitewashed building which looked like a single-storey thatched cottage (although if it ever was thatched, in the 40s it had a slate roof). The walls were rough and it had a small front window in the chip-shop part. In the only other room you could hear the rumbler machine peeling spuds.
