caption_attribution_description: English: Caroline Street in Cardiff.
context_page_description: Caroline Street is a pedestrianised street running east/west in the lower part of Cardiff city centre, located between The Hayes and St. Mary's Street. It is known locally as Chippy Lane due to the density of fast food shops along the street.
context_section_description: Up until the post-World War II period, the street was a traditional mixed-trading street, with occupants including butchers and cobblers.
  Since that time, the number of family and privately owned fast food outlets has steadily increased, and as of 2011 only a single outlet for Greggs bakery is resident on the Hayes end of the street, keeping Caroline Street relatively free of national and international chains and franchises. Dorothy's claims to be the oldest resident fast food shop on Caroline Street, which is a fish and chip shop. The favourite fare served by all shops includes the preferred South Wales delicacy of curry sauce and chips. Colloquially locals call the street Chippy Alley.
