Britain's Oldest Family Business


A TV programme, aired by the BBC in January 2014 charting the history of butchery and lives of the Balson family in Bridport, the oldest family firm in Britain.


Butchers for over 500 years, dating back to 1515 when Henry VIII was on the throne and an incredible story that has succeeded for many generations.


Well worth a watch!
