Leighton Buzzard Delivery Boy With His Butchers Bicycle 1910 Real Photo Postcard
The postcard depicts a delivery boy for Family Butchers at 23, Market Square, Leighton Buzzard, a market town in Bedfordshire, England. Butcher shops were vital local businesses, providing fresh meat to communities before the widespread advent of refrigerated transport and large supermarkets. The establishment's address in Market Square indicates a prominent location within the town's commercial center, reflecting its role in local trade. The style of the delivery bicycle and the attire of the boy suggest a likely period from the early 1900s through the 1930s.
