More about this scene

Daniel Defoe, speaking of Leominster, described it as having 'nothing very remarkable about it, but that it is a well-built, well- inhabited town. This town, besides its fine wool, is noted for the best wheat and consequently the finest bread.' Notice the horse- drawn wagon in the centre of the photograph.

I have a picture of a double fronted butchers shop in the corn market. Over the door it says L.Pugh, outside is the butcher and his wife and probably their daughter Marie.  A family story was that a lad from the family when asked who he was replied "Jack Pugh, Leominster, kill sheep"  I assume there was an abbatoir behind the shop. The picture is in an album of my parents around the 1920's. Any information please email me at bpmann@ntlworld.com Thank you.
