Artist and recovering anorexic Lucy Sparrow has opened a chippy where everything is made from felt.

 

The interactive creation includes hand-stitched fish and chips in sewn-together boxes, tubs of salt, bottles of vinegar and mayonnaise, ketchup sachets, signs and menus.

In total there are 65,000 individually hand-crafted pieces including 15 different chip shapes in five different colours.

The Bourdon Street Chippy is intended as a nostalgic, tactile reimagining of one of Britain's most beloved institutions.
