The photos are magnificent!!
My ancestors were butchers for a couple of centuries in the Southwark,Peckham and Brixton areas and I 'googled' some few years ago looking for images of the trade in those areas.
This is my favourite ......... not my ancestors but it gives a great incite to what they looked like ... the meat display is great dont you think?

Love these group photos.  I've got a few but they have been copied so many times, they are really blurred.

I'm going to visit my cousin Carol next Friday.  Her brother,  Brian, (obviously my cousin too) died last year, (brief pause for emotion).  
Anyway, Brian was the last person to live in the family home and apparently, there is an abundance of photos that have been passed down.  
I am so looking forward to seeing the photos - yes of course I'm looking forward to seeing Carol but I saw her earlier this year - I aint seen the photos.

Apparently, they were in a biscuit tin. (ring any bells Sybil/JJ)

How fortunate you are Dave to have photos of your ancestor's shop.
I only wish that I had taken more notice of all the 'bits and pieces' in shoe boxes etc when I was young .... too late now of course ......... but how nice it is to see what others have kept in good condition.
