EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene outside T & W Mays Tower Meat Stall in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk during the 1910s. The family butcher shop, with its distinctive tower sign, is located on the right side of the street, surrounded by other businesses including Youells Ironmongers on the left. A James Sutherland flatbed truck is parked outside, its cargo of goods carefully unloaded by passengers dressed in period attire. The pavement is filled with people, some of whom are likely customers, while others appear to be passing by or waiting for the tram that can be seen with its tracks running along the road. The tower sign of T & W Mays Butchers shop stands tall, adorned with ivy, a symbol of the establishment's longevity and commitment to the community. The shop's name, "Tower Meat Stall, Family Butchers," is prominently displayed, emphasizing the personal touch and local focus of the business. Across the street, the sign for Youells Ironmongers and Chandlers can be seen, another local business that would have provided a variety of hardware, furniture, and tools to the residents of Great Yarmouth. The presence of both businesses on this bustling street underscores the vibrant trade and commerce that thrived in this East Anglian coastal town during the early 20th century. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when life moved at a slower pace, and the local butcher and ironmonger played essential roles in the daily lives of their communities.
