My Years Living Next to The Butchers

The Village c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My dad Rowland Cook took over Lasts butchers in 1985. I grew up in The Maltings which was attached to the shop and is the house on the right hand side of the photo with the big bay window from the age of 11 until I left home when I was 20. My parents ran the shop for 10 years before it closed and they moved on. The shop has since been demolished and a nasty modern house has replaced it which looks totally out of place in the street scene. Although I have many fond memories of my years in Botesdale I was glad to move away to the town.

Hi there. I was wondering what information you could give me on that butcher shop. I believe the grimes previously ran it correct? they are part of my family.
