EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1955 and take a glimpse into the bustling world of George Schonhuts butchers shop in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. This print captures the essence of a bygone era, where traditional meat products lined the window display alongside an intriguing assortment of continental and specifically German sausages. It was truly a sight to behold, especially considering that it had only been a year since rationing ended. The Schonhut family, hailing from Obernhof in Germany, settled in Mexborough before World War I and faced some persecution due to their German origins. However, Mr. Schonhut remained steadfast in his refusal to anglicise the family name. The business thrived for three generations as both retailers and wholesalers to other local establishments. Their reputation for quality meats spread throughout the area like wildfire. As you gaze at this monochrome image captured by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , you can almost hear the sounds of customers bustling along All Saints Square outside. The quaint building stands proudly amidst its surroundings, offering a tantalizing glimpse into an era when small businesses were at the heart of communities. This photograph is not just about one butcher's shop; it represents an entire industry rooted deep within British culture. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how these local establishments played an integral role in shaping our nation's culinary traditions.
