Photo. of Mark Williams butchers shop which stood on the site of the Roebuck Hotel. From 1983 it has been McDonald's
Note that the metal framwork holding the Pork Butchers, sign, is the same one holding the Roebuck Hotel sign on that photo.

Superb butchers, I worked next door in Hunters chemist and fell for one of the butchers- Tony Farrimond- [deceased] I called in daily for 2oz boiled ham just for a look at him we later married and had three children, Happy Days!

Just come across this posting and although my wife would swear there's very little if any romantic side to me I found your tale quite touching Audrey.

Used to go in there and buy cooked pigs tails in jelly for me and my Dad.
