Totley Chip Shops

The old Fleur de Lys when Tom Kirby was the landlord.

The first three houses on Butts Hill were occupied by members of the Fox family. The first of these, West View, was the chip shop run by Mrs. Ethel Fox. Her son Albert, was nicknamed Chippy.

A second chip shop was down Chapel Walk next to the Wesleyan Chapel. This was occupied by Mrs. Green and her daughter Francis.

A third chip shop was purpose built and run by Mrs. Cross near the old Fleur de Lys. Her son, Tom Kirby then took over the pub before it was demolished to make way for the present day Fleur.

The chip shop on Totley Rise used to be run by a Mrs. Collett sometime before the Shaws took over.
