George Schonhuts butchers shop in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, 1955
George Schonhuts butchers shop, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, 1955. The window of George Schonhuts butchers shop in All Saints Square in Rotherham, showing a traditional range of meat products and a range of continental and specifically German sausages which must have been an unusual sight only one year after rationing ended. Mr Schonhuts family originated from the German town of Obernhof. The Family settled in Mexborough in South Yorkshire in the years prior to World War I. Despite some persecution stemming from the German origins of his name, Mr Schonhut refused to anglicise the family name. The butchery business flourished for three geneations as both retailers and as a wholesaler to other businesses in the area

EDITORS COMMENTS

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.
