Staff from Schonhuts butchery factory, Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire, 1955. Artist
Staff from Schonhuts butchery factory, Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire, 1955. In this photograph, Mr George Schonhut can be seen on the far left of the group. He was the grandson of the founder, who relocated from the German city of Obernhof. The family settled in the South Yorkshire town of Mexborough in the years prior to World War I. Despite some persecution stemming from the German origins of his name, Mr Schonhut refused to anglicise the family name. The butchery business flourished for three genreations as both retailers and as a wholesaler to other businesses in the area.

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1955 and take a glimpse into the bustling world of Schonhuts Butchery Factory in Rawmarsh, South Yorkshire. This striking photograph captures the staff of this iconic business gathered together for a group portrait, with Mr George Schonhut proudly standing on the far left. As the grandson of the founder, who emigrated from Obernhof, Germany to Mexborough before World War I, George refused to anglicise his family name despite facing persecution due to their German heritage.
For three generations, Schonhuts Butchery flourished as both retailers and wholesalers in the area. The factory was an integral part of the local community, providing employment opportunities for many residents. In this photograph, we see a snapshot of life at work during a pivotal moment in British history - post-war Britain's industrial heyday.
The staff are dressed in their crisp uniforms and white coats, exuding pride and camaraderie as they pose for Michael Walters' camera lens. Their faces tell stories of hard work and dedication as they go about their daily tasks behind-the-scenes at this thriving butchery factory. A testament to tradition and community spirit, this image is a fascinating piece of social history that offers a glimpse into everyday life during an era that shaped modern Britain.
