Fitzwilliam Street 1942

[heavenmbmaa 10]

I am looking for the name of the butchers that was on Fitzwilliam street next to The Raven in 1942. Does anyone remember the name of the butcher or the shop?

I don’t know if this was the shop you remember, a couple of doors away from the Raven , going towards West Street, was a Butchers called Clayton’s.

Yes, they were at -  No 4.  G Clayton

There were other butchers, but I think they were to far away - 181 Bernard Walker & 189 J Barlow

Can anyone remember and give details of the Ironmongers, Neville Watts, who I think were at number 8 Fitzwilliam Street, just below the Raven.

In particular, if anybody can give information on the vans they used it would be great and if any photos were available, that would be awesome.

I have Kelly's directories back to the early 1900s, and "G. Clayton, butcher" is listed at No. 4 Fitzwilliam Street from 1971 onwards, but from the 1920s to 1971 No. 4 was "Greenlees & Sons, boot & shoe dealers".

I cannot find a J. Barlow at No. 189 Fitzwilliam Street, but old directories show a "John Barlow, butcher" at 189 Glossop Road.  From c. 1930 to 1939 No. 181 was indeed "Bernard Walker, butcher", but note that No. 181 was destroyed in the 1940 Blitz.
