My Grandfather Herbert Williams worked as a butcher in Nelson creek . I am unsure if it is this building but remember it as when you faced the hotel it was on the same street but to the left.

Colleen Yee
The Waxeyes used enjoy the fat that was chucked out for them. Loved stopping and watching them as we walked to and from school in the early 1950s.

Remember first Bill when visiting my grandparents in Redjacks Road then much later Pat and Jackie while I lived in Ngahere.One of the "True tales of The West "featuring Pat was that the health inspector cornerd Pat in the Top Pub telling him he had too many flies in the truck.Pat looked up from his beer and replied"Well chase the buggers out and when you get the correct number,slam the bloody doors."

When i first moved to Nelson Creek going into the shop when the fisher sisters had it they would be one 40 watt light bulb hanging from the roof I brought the coal range off Wally Boulton it was like brand new the sisters really looked after it
