Anyone remember what went in to the jawbreaker sandwich he sold in this butchers?
Yes
Yes that’s Fred, Stubbs F. M.
I know because he’s my uncle.
And a Gentleman.
Yes that’s my Uncle Fred..
I bought two steaks here after a rather good market day session on the beer. They were so large, I had to stagger back to Asda for a bigger frying pan.
Before it was Stubbs Butchers, it was owned by Mr Goodwill of Grangefield Road. I remember the floors being covered with sawdust and occasionally blood dripping from the animal carcasses hanging in the shop. Refrigerators what refrigerators?
I remember after a saturday night out getting hot beef sandwiches from this butchers.
The best pork belly sandwiches in the world by far
Thats definitely Freddy Stubbs. A true gentleman and a friend of my father who managed the Farm Stores in Dovecot Street.
My father was a good friend of Mr Stubbs the butcher. I became a friend also and know most of his family. That’s what we are missing these days, friendly faces and respect for everybody. Life is far too fast these days.
