Step into the world of butchery, where precision and skill meet to create culinary masterpieces. From the bustling Berwick High Street to the quaint Pound Street in Petworth, butchers have been an integral part of our communities for centuries. In 1855, a Beef Cuts Diagram emerged, showcasing the artistry behind separating different cuts of meat. This diagram became a staple in every butcher's shop, guiding them through their craft with expertise and finesse. Ox Cuts Diagrams adorned walls as well, revealing the secrets behind tenderizing tough meats. Butchers wielded their tools with confidence and knowledge passed down through generations. But it wasn't just about business; it was also about joy. Fat Geese. By Lawson Wood depicted a whimsical scene outside a butcher's shop, where laughter filled the air amidst plump geese waiting to be transformed into delectable dishes. Integrity retiring from Office. A satirical illustration from 1801 showcased that even in politics, butchers were revered for their honesty and trustworthiness - qualities they carried over into their trade. Shoreham-by-Sea boasted its own Butcher's Shop on High Street - a hub of activity where locals gathered to select prime cuts for their meals. The aroma wafting from within enticed passersby with promises of succulent flavors awaiting them inside. Meanwhile, Joyes Shop stood proudly in Pound Street, Petworth - its shelves stocked with premium meats sourced directly from local farms. Here, customers found solace knowing that quality was never compromised. Breaking gender norms in the 1920s was Woman Butcher - defying expectations and proving that this profession knew no bounds when it came to talent and passion. Her presence challenged stereotypes while inspiring future generations of female butchers.
