Fresh Meat? - Will's Roadtransport Revival

butcher.jpg

Check out this incredible Motor Transport photo depicting a Trojan delivery van parked outside Durbin & Allwright's Chiswick, London shop.
According to the signs on the van, the chickens, rabbits and pigs you can see hanging up have come directly from the butcher's own farms in Colyton and Honiton. I wonder how fresh they would be travelling in the back of a non-refrigerated van that would struggle to do 20mph.
The picture was published in January 1928.

It might not be fresh but I am sure it would be allwright.
