A fire has taken hold at a fish and chip shop in the Black Country Living Museum.

Crews from Dudley and Tipton fire stations rushed to the Dudley attraction after the blaze broke out in one of the historic fryers at Hobbs' and Sons Fish and Chip Shop.

Claire Packer, head of communications at the site in Tipton Road, Dudley, said the shop suffered minor damage and would be closed in the immediate term.

"Bostin' fish and chips will still be available at other outlets on the site, we know how people love their fish and chips," she said.
