Gorgeous!

Have checked out the local butchers round here, there's nothing comes close frown Only one that looks to come close is one in Handbridge, just outside Chester, which is probably no closer than Muffs. But (coincidentally?) they are also Edge & Sons family butcher (Ernest W Edge, the New Ferry one was originally W H Edge) wonder if there's a family connection? No mention of a connection on either website

Hi Sunnyside,I've lived in Bromborough since 1953.Lucy had a brother who lived at the other end of the row.He had some land at the rear and side which faced the 4 houses in Hadley avenue.Eventually,Wirral Council bought this land and built more houses on it.However when they began clearing the site,they discovered loads of old bones.Seemingly the old bugger (during the War)had a thriving, black market butchery department in full swing.Him and I became great friends,sharing many sea fishing trips,Scotland,Southern Ireland and all over Wales.Sadly he passed away a few years ago.I sometimes sit and think about him,and I cant help laughing to myself.Happy Days.
