The closure of the W. Jones butcher shop in High Street Newtown is a tragic loss to the town.
Of all the shopkeepers the general public deal with, the butcher is the most critical. From the cut of bacon to the selection of the Sunday joint, the butcher has the most influence on our diet and wellbeing by the quality of his products.
The Jones window always held temptation: burgers, kebabs etc. in addition to the normal cuts of meat.
M Jones was at the top of his trade and profession producing sausages, pies etc. in the traditional way and therefore will be sadly missed.
