Shambles Street : (South side) : Halton's butcher's
Before Health & Safety and Public Health laws appeared butchers were allowed to display their joints of meat outside shops but notice the wooden grill above eye level allowing a flow of air on warmer days. The man appears to be Mr Halton at number 8 who was in business from 1868 to 1910 so must have served hundreds if not thousands of families. He is well attired for his trade too.
