A butcher whose shop has been serving north Norfolk for over 100 years has said people in his seaside town have been doing “exceptionally well” to support their local community and businesses.
Arthur Howell, who runs Arthur Howell Butchers, says trade has been steady in the town, seeing a smooth increase since lockdown.
He said: “We mustn’t grumble, trade has been very good to us and the town is doing exceptionally well.
“I think everyone is trying their hardest to do what they can, we’re getting people coming in the shops, everyone about here is delivering to everyone individually.”
The shop, which also has a branch in Burnham Market and a smokehouse in Binham, has been run by four generations of the Howell family, with Arthur sharing his name with his great grandfather, who set up the business in Binham in 1889.
