Horseflesh in the News

Nothing new in Pinner:

HORSEFLESH FOR SALE 

Extract from the February 1942 Villager (issue no.14)

Horseflesh for sale, ostensibly for human consumption, at 120 Marsh Road was, to say the least, an unpleasing sight which detracted from the amenities of the district.  Definitely and emphatically there is neither necessity nor demand for such an establishment in this neighbourhood.  Immediately the place was opened the Pinner Association sent a vigorous protest to the local Food Control Committee.

 Extract from the June 1942 Villager (issue 15)

Horseflesh for sale. Regarding the paragraph in our last issue dealing with this matter, we have been informed that the premises at 120 Marsh Road were scrupulously clean, and that the meat was passed by the proper authority.
