Looks like the last butcher in the butchers' aisle in the Market has shut up shop. The old routine, use 'em or lose 'em. There's still a couple in the Country Produce section but I reckon it won't be long before we are all eating Tesco etc. They've shut so many shops down that you have to go to them if you want anything because there is nothing left round where you live.

yes not many left now bud. We use the one in liscard alot, always packed in there.

You should pop over to Oz Bandy. More Vietnamese butchers than you can shake a stick at. Mind you - beautiful meat and MUCH better prices than the chain stores (we have no Tesco).

Anyone remember Harrys on oxton road.it was a couple of doors up from the vale pub. Another Peace of History taken from Oxton road.

First Alex Greens,Then Brant Glass, And Good Old Harry the butcher.

Try "Braveheart" in Wallasey Village.

maybe it is to make way for bingo that is going to start in market.in wirral globe about it this week.

Was this the one on left going into town, after the brewery ?
My mother used to use one around there in preference to the ones in Oxton or Wellington Rd which were nearer

There was one in Oxton Rd. on the opposite corner of Windsor St. from the Windsor Castle pub, called Hoyle's.

Yes Hoyles it was. Thanks for the memory !!
The tradesmen of way back must have been good for people to recall them today. Oxton Rd seems to have had a fair few.
Who will have good memories of a Tesco in where ever 50 years hence.

Now here's another - on the corner of Oxton Rd, Balls Rd & Ridley St was a grocer Brunnings or Vinnings or something like.
No I'm not having a quiz but these are places that were used because used have a choice of where to shop.

I wonder what people will think when they get up to their Tesco breakfast, go out to their Tesco HP'd car, with Tesco Car insurance and Tesco petrol. Make phonecalls on their Tesco mobile and use Tesco internet. Switch their lights on using Tesco electricity and heating using Tesco gas. Pay their rent/mortgage to Tesco finance. Go to work at Tesco's and relax at the Tesco leisure centre. And the biggest pleasure in life - go shopping to Tesco.

Watch out - its creaping up on us???

Chuffed to death. Managed to get hold of some sweetbreads and lambs fries today. "Heaven, I'm in heaven......."

I remember Harry very well we went to school together, Harry started work in the said butchers on saturdays, when he left school (temple rd) he started working full time for the then owner Tommy Griffiths. He was offered the shop not sure which year it was? We lost contact in the sixties Thats about all I can tell you I used to live in Clarendon St off Oxton Rd

By the way does anybody remember Dashley's in Oxton Rd Best pork pies on the planet.

Hi Jimbob and Issacasimov, Dashleys was "The best Butcher" and there pork pies were to die for. I haven't had a decent pork pie for about 42 years. Hey Jinbob what number Larch Rd did you live at.

mindplayer(posing as Jolly, cant remember my password.)

Spot-on with Dashley's pies, talk about juice

What about Hinton's in Grange Road West? When I moved in to my own place , like a lot of blokes I was clueless about how to cook for myself-got a lot of help from the girls in there , bless 'em !

Just a thought - went to Cheshire Oaks today and felt a wee bit peckish so decided to buy a pasty from the van there. £3.45 for one pasty-yes that's right-£3.45.B----r me!Needless to say I went to the Port and settled for a Greggs.Mmmmm Greggs!

couple in the port, best place for meat is cost co though

There's a butchers in Upton Village still trading well enough Bandy

Ah Hintons! My mother's fav butcher, paying a little each week for the Yuletide Capon and pork joint..nice sweetbread too

Does anyone here remember Reg Greenlees near Bebington Station?

What about Jackie Page on Conway St. I remember the floor always had saw dust on it.

There's a good Butchers at the top of Seaview Road in Wallasey. Guest and Sons I think it's called. Also one on Seabank Road. Not sure of the name but run by a friendly guy.

There are also 4 Butchers in New Ferry! Amazing given how rundown the place has become.

Steve Lewis on Seabank Rd.
