A 1938 advertisement

After his release from a German PoW camp at the end of the war, Eric Green, who had served with the Durham Light Infantry, return to Farnhill, where his family ran the butcher’s shop in Main Street.

Eric married local girl Annie Mosley in 1919, at Farnhill Chapel; and in 1924 he, Annie, and their young daughter Madge, left the village and moved to Cowling, where Eric set up his own butcher’s shop.

Here’s the advertisement Eric put in Kildwick Parish Magazine in January 1938.
