Book Description
Drawing from technical and privately published family histories, this remarkable account provides a broad understanding of the development of the meat industry utilizing England’s Kentish Town as a model. With research on the decline of retail butcher shops from 45,000 in 1945 to fewer than 6,000 in 2010, this record not only describes the expertise and skill required of each trade associated with the meat industry but also catalogs how social changes impacted the business.
