1. The Three Pillars Marker

Inscription. This plaque is dedicated to the three ladies who tought us how to cook this shops style of Fish and Chips

The Fenner sisters (Anna and Rachel) lived above the shop when we first arrived for several years. It was their late father that ran the shop from the 1920's until 1968 and was the grandson of the original owner. These ladies took the time and dedication to pass on their father's knowledge to us, as they did not want to see the shop that he had established as one of the best to go to ruin.

Mary Goody was the matriarch of the area and the first to point out that as the new owner's of the Rock and Sole we were not good enough. She had worked in this shop as a young girl in the 1910's and 1920's

It is thanks to their efforts that we are able to present our customer's today with the very same high standards of fish and chips that have always been served here for over 140 years. Ladies, thank you the Rock and Sole Plenice family and customer's owe you everything.

In 1871 the third ever fish shop opened its doors to London at 47 Endell Street and since that time it has served over six generations of Londoners with the finest fish and chips. The original customers of 47 Endell Street would have been workers from Covent Garden market and from the local factories and warehouses.
