ah ...not many butchers left anywhere now, it used to be called edges, there is still a edges butchers in new ferry. i miss the bakery that was called galleys it was down the library end.
Didn't know Edge's used to be there as well as the New Ferry shop, which also looks like a proper traditional butcher. Muff's were in Bromborough before I moved there (early 80's).
i didn't know they had there own slaughterhouse, bets that rare nowadays. do you remember lucys dairy at the bottom of the rake, my mother used to be the milkwoman there, thats another thing thats a rare site...the milkman and the daily deliveries.
I live close to bromborough village and it is far from a ghost town. Yes there are a large number of charity shops but we still have 2 good butchers, a veg shop, small supermarket and poundstretcher, boots etc. The shops do get busy,the relaxing of parking regulations has given the shops a new lease of life.
I love Bromborough, and I know it's not completely dead as a village, although I think that it has deteriorated a little in the last decade.
Back in the early 90's when my children were babies, I'd walk up there with the pram (used to live in The Chase off Brookhurst Rd) and I could guarantee it would be bustling no matter what day of the week.
I think I'm trying to relive my past and just find it sad that so many lovely villages seem to be declining
