EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken around the 1920s, a proud butcher named Tom Greenwood poses beside his new delivery van in the quaint seaside town of Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, as Tom, dressed in his white butcher's apron and holding a large piece of fresh meat, exudes a sense of pride and accomplishment. The van, adorned with the distinctive green and wood striping common during this period, proudly displays the number plate and the name "Tom Greenwood, Family Butcher." The addition of a telephone on the side of the van signaled a modernization in the butcher's trade, allowing for easier communication with customers and more efficient delivery services. Tom's new acquisition represented not only a practical upgrade for his business but also a statement of success. The van allowed him to expand his reach beyond the local market in Walton-on-the-Naze and bring fresh meat to more customers in the surrounding areas. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of a tradesman during the 1920s, showcasing the importance of hard work, tradition, and innovation in the family butcher trade. The image is part of The Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library and serves as a reminder of the rich history and character of small businesses in Essex during this time.
