Melrose the Butcher
The Melrose family originally came from Felton where they ran the Widdrington Arms Inn (now the Running Fox bakery and cafe). A son, William Edward, set up a butcher's shop in Queen Street, Amble and he and his son after him ran it for many years in the 1800s. The Melrose family also married into the Lyall family in Amble.
The attached photograph is of a clock that must have been in the shop but in 1971 was still in Amble (when this photo was taken). Does anyone know anything about it?
