1939 - 2017
This building is occupied by W.H. Alder butchers shop, which first appeared in Kelly's Directory in 1939, preceded by A & W H Billingham, butchers from 1936. This makes it the oldest business on the Cowley Road still going strong
From 2017 Cowley Road Carnival memory wall
- "Quality But hers"
- "The best butchers - Andy"
- "See the bronze disc set into the pavement with Andy's image"
- "Great butchers, still same Andy from early 70s"
