elliots the butchers: A memory of Warwick

Elliots The Butchers

A Memory of Warwick.

My dad was Joe whitehand And he was a butcher in elliots butchers, in the 60s. I loved going to the mop, and st Nicholas park, anyone remember the green dragon pub in the market place, we used to wait for my mum and dad to come out ( which seemed like ages ) so we could get some spending money for sweets! I have since moved to Derbyshire, but I often visit Warwick. Annie.

Hi. I remember the Green Dragon and yes the resident s who lived at Hatton who were allowed out did catch the bus from there. Does anyone remember the Chip shop on the corner by Woolworths run by Lou Whittaker (best chips and scratchings) in Warwick.

Hi yes I can remember the chip shop and I can remember residents of hatton when we were kids, there were all sorts of horror storys about Hatton! I used to love going to the mop and was it a hog roast they had there? I live in Derbyshire now but still have fond memories of Warwick.
