Even in a small village there are opportunities to find interesting terracotta. This is a butcher's shop in Tattenhall, Cheshire, where I presume the terracotta came from one of the works around Ruabon. I like to think that the oval once contained images of pigs, cows and sheep! Sadly I fear that the business has now closed.

A butcher's ticket from June 1864. John Wragg's shop was at 45 Mill Lane, the site of which later became the Sun Inn, now long gone too. Sadly the document is rather faded and I haven't managed to decipher what the product was of which 3oz was purchased for 1s 9½d. Got to love those prize beasts on the header.

The sign of a good butcher. The queue says it all - quality and service.
