Butchers at upperthorpe

Recommended Posts

I was only a whippersnapper at the time,but we used to get our meat delivered every Wednesday and Saturday. The butchers shop was based at upperthorpe and was a husband and wife business,the wife doing the deliveries in their little mini van,she was called June. I think their name was Adamson or Adams ,can anyone help me please?

You could be getting mixed up with Grimesthorpe as Petre St is in that district.

There`s a topic that`s been going on for ages so maybe someone on there could help.
