BAZZER 10 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hi, Its been a long, long time. I'm trying to think of a butchers shop down the Meadows, where I worked about 1964. It was a one-man band (along with his missus), but they used to supply to hotels, shops etc. My job, as a 15/6 year old, was boning bacon, making pies and my famous sausages. Wednesday, was dripping day. We had a commercial boiler type thing. I used to fill it up with pork fat, or beef fat, and render it down to dripping. I then poured it into waxed tapered packets. The whole area stunk terribly on Wednesdays, but the end product was worth waiting for. About half way down Arkwright Street (from Town), I turned to a street on the right, but can't recall that either. Anyone help please ? It's on the tip of my tongue,,,,,,, probably, as soon as I press Submit, it'll come to me ! My last visit to Nottingham, unfortunately was to my Auntie Eileen's funeral, at Bilborough. A sad sad loss. Hope everyone is well. Baz 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 There was a kosher butcher down Arkwright St - it obviously wasn't the one you're trying to remember but does anyone recall that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,874 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Kirkby street 3/4 way down on the right. There was another on Kirkwhite st near Bridgeway hall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spencer 9 Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 There was a damn good Butcher’s on Holgate Road called Jowett’s - people used to come from all parts on Nottingham to buy their meat But like all the great corner shops on Holgate Road - they are long gone. I fondly remember it being a hive of activity on a Saturday morning 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
