Its the sawdust on the floors that I remember in the butcher's shops of that period. I liked to shuffle it about with my feet making patterns on the floor! What I didn't like was seeing the cows going to be slaughtered in Scholes- as a four year old it was very scary!

Pig's cheek can still be bought in most Morrisons stores, Fred.
Lovely tackle!
