Butcher takes over Grantham pub

June 19, 2026 Leave a Comment

This 1977 photo from Kath Lovatt shows Baxters butchers which had taken over the Guildhall Tavern. Far left is the Granada. Stuart’s fashion shop is on the right while the entrance in the middle is Hands Yard, a popular place for naughty boys to get through the emergency exits to have a free night at the cinema.

The former Granada and Baxter buildings are now Italian restaurant Prezzo while Stuarts is Costa coffee.
