I think you are re-calling Trumpers hardware store. One of those "we got one here somewhere" shops.

Was a butchers shop for a very long time - both the 1937 & 1955 Kelly's have 'Caleb Baker, Butcher' on the premises.

Strange decision, Baker becoming a butcher

It was definately still a butchers in the late 70s as i used to be sent there to get mince for Saturdays Shepherds pie. It was closed for a while before being converted to accomodation.

thank you numanfan i am not sure now? been in the new place, but never in the butchers and i was 10 years old? just remember the building from the out side

I'm with mikeb on this one.

Lewis' was still trading as a butcher in the 1974 Kelly's, and that building doesn't look like it was built in the 1970's (or later).

The windows on the upper floor have the same distinctive 'upright' bricks above, the same as the rest of the terrace.
