Stunmon Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Who remembers the wonderful butchers shops when I was growing up in the 1950s. I remember the pork pies from Friedrichs at Firth Park and The Wicker. Mother having joints of pork 'dipped' so the meat was lovely and pink. No concession to Health and Safety then!! Large carcasses hung up on the wall behind the counter. I bet there's some tales to tell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Spencers Butchers at Firth Park was great. My school mate John Spencer worked there with his dad after he left school. His son worked there too for a time before it closed when John died I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lysander Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Watson's butchers (next door to Friederick's )on Bellhouse Rd was our family butcher for very many years until our allegiance went to Senior's at Sheffield Lane Top on account of his giving our church lunch club a nice discount on all meat purchases!

His wife Elsie also worked in the shop. She is still going, she's 102 years old now. My mother, who was Elsie's sister used to send me on the bus every Saturday to go and pick up the weeks meat.
