Beschreibung:
Desmond Charles Whyman was born and educated in west Kentish Town, London. With a few exceptions he has spent his entire career in the meat trade, commencing as shop boy, progressing to manager and eventually proprietor of a retail butcher's shop. He studied as a full time student at Smithfield College before returning to hold the position of meat technologist at the college. He is a Graduate Member of the Institute of Meat and for the past seventeen years he has been engaged on research and recording the history of the meat trade. Other works include talks on the history of the frozen meat trade, the history of the meat trade together with various written articles including the official periodical of the Worshipful Company of Butchers.
Drawing from technical and privately published family histories, this remarkable account provides a broad understanding of the development of the meat industry utilizing England's Kentish Town as a model. With research on the decline of retail butcher shops from 45,000 in 1945 to fewer than 6,000 in 2010, this record not only describes the expertise and skill required of each trade associated with the meat industry but also catalogs how social changes impacted the business.
