This photograph is of an old High Street butchers shop from about 1912, which was run by Albert Groves. Unlike today’s shops Albert Groves did everything himself. He bought the animals, slaughtered them, made
different things like sausages and then sold the meat in his shop. After a few years his son Jack took over his job. The family continued the business until 1957 when Jack Groves retired.
	This butchers was run by Colin Sevier and Bill French in 1991 and the photograph shows them outside their shop opposite Victoria Avenue. All the meat is stored inside the shop because it is hygienic. Today Alan Warwick runs the shop.
