Butcher - where did the one by The Plough go?

[Jamma]

We used to use the butcher based at the top of Lordship Lane by the library and The Plough pub and got our Xmas turkey from him. I know it's a while since he shut up shop but I haven't needed a turkey for the last couple of years. Now I do need one and I wondered if anyone knew where he'd gone.

The word was he'd moved to Bromley when he shut but he did such a sudden flit I never got the chance to ask him where he was moving etc.

Any help gratefully received.

(I know William Rose does turkeys and I used to get mine there when I lived down that end of town, I was a regular at WR and the rule was you had to be a regular to get on his list for turkeys. I liked this rule because it worked for me. Now I'm not a regular so it seems a bit rich to pitch up looking for a turkey!)

He left because the lease was up on the shop and the DIY shop wanted it back (they owned it) - he went to the village of Locksbottom down Bromley way - said he had a premises opposite the Sainsburys down there but I've never been down so don't know if he made it.

He did open up at Locksbottom as we dropped by to pick up a big order for a school camping trip just after he moved but last summer he had gone so not sure what the deal was, I know his dad who worked on the farm with him was quiet elderly so maybe he had to concentrate on that.

Thanks all for your help. Looks like I'll have to source my turkey elsewhere.

Keep going up Lordship Lane and try the one in Forest Hill opposite Sainsburys, recommended.
