EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming villages of Kent in 1948. In this snapshot, we witness a remarkable sight - a travelling fish and chip shop on wheels! H. C. Macroy, the proud owner of this mammoth van, has ingeniously brought convenience and deliciousness right to the doorsteps of these rural communities. The image showcases the bustling scene as locals from Hextable gather around the mobile eatery, eagerly awaiting their turn to savor this delectable British staple. The vintage Bedford van stands tall, adorned with vibrant signage that proudly advertises its mouthwatering offerings. The aroma of freshly fried fish and chips fills the air, enticing customers young and old. It is evident that Macroy's venture has struck a chord with these villagers as his success prompts him to expand further. With one more van already in action and two additional ones on order, he is determined to bring joy through food across even more corners of Kent. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness. It reminds us that sometimes it takes just an idea, some wheels under your feet, and good old-fashioned comfort food to create lasting connections within communities.
