The Life of a Grocer |
At our April meeting, Maureen Williams, from Godfrey Williams & Sons in Market Square in Sandbach, accompanied by her daughter in law and granddaughter, came to talk about ‘The Life of a Grocer’. Together they gave us a delightful insight into the history of this truly family grocery business and their cheese making going back to at least 1875. Maureen left our members wanting to take a trip to Sandbach to smell the aroma of roast coffee and taste more of the wide variety of cheeses together with the goodies from the delicatessen. Maureen’s son’ David Williams, runs the family cheese business from Crewe Hall and is also Chief Steward at the Cheshire Show and so we will all be paying more attention when we visit the Cheese Marquee at Knutsford in June.
