Last week we posted about the remarkable Charles Martin who worked for Peeks for over 40 years & acted as a roof top gunner during WWII. His granddaughter, Joanne Hopkins, has now sent us this superb photo of the Peeks Freans Homeguard from WWII. What a fine body of men.

Thanks Tony,I think my style of dress brings too MaccyD’s the D of Decorum.

Kind of Victorian eat all you can,is it?

Had to think for a couple of seconds…….then 👍😂🤣😂🤣

Loved loin pork chops with a kidney in you don’t see them around nowadays.

Yep I often used to drive one of these up the Great North Road,I suppose I was pretty interesting because it was 1990 and this Guy was made in 1931.

Sounds rather tasty.🤗

Painted a nice word picture there Prof.👍

Problem nowadays not many traditional High Street butchers shops around nowadays. Here’s me as a traditional butchers boy in 1962,note my winklepickers.

Sorry only got this one left.

That’ll teach ‘em. P

My last job of the day as we were closing the shop,sweep floor and get rid of old sawdust and spread new,beautiful smell.

What Ho Kirk,yep and it’s blinking heavy!

When you were younger and heard the Beatles. 🎶When I’m 65.🎶 Did it sound absolutely ages away?
