Reynolds Fish and Chips was a family business from the Reynolds’ house at 8 Strachan St. in the 1940s.
The house was beside Shakespeare school, to the left of the house in the photo. Reynolds' was a favourite stopover spot with kids who turned to the right just inside the front door for penny candy, while adults veered left for delicious, homemade fish and chips.
The Reynolds’ neighborhood restaurant and candy store was one of many home businesses in Stratford at the time, and is fondly remembered.
