Slaughterhouse/Butchery Mansfield Sept 12

[skankypants]

There is very little information i can find on this place,just that it closed down late 80"s early 90"s.And was possibly owned by "Townroes"butchers.The site standing now is only part of the original complex so i have been told.ie 2 adjoined houses,and a outbuilding for the walk-in fridge.I dont know if this was a abbatoir,or just a prep/hanging/butchery....Located in the Mansfield area.Nottinghamshire

Thanks for looking...

hi mate. at one point this butcher's had there own slaughter house / yard at the back of the premises. I know this because my uncle had his apprenticeship there in the late 80s as well as seeing a calf get the "bolt" for my own eyes.. nice to see this building as it is because I remember it to differently. nice job.

It's certainly got that macabre feeling about it. A house converted for torture :shocked: Plenty of hooks to hang yer coats up though

Cool mooch that mate.

Just to add a bit more to it. Spoken to my grandparents and it was first called Savages Butcher's and then Townrows as you mentioned.

Wasn't this Charlie Flear's butchers at some point? I went to school with his nephew.

It was compulsary purchased a lot of years ago when they planned to widen the junction that this sits on, then they never got round to it!

Coincidentally someone was taking pics there yesterday when I drove past.
