EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures George Alfred Hills, a well-known figure in Worthing during the early 1900s. Standing proudly outside his butchers shop on South Farm Road, George is accompanied by an assistant butcher and three young delivery boys with their trade bikes. The image exudes nostalgia and provides a glimpse into the bustling work force of that era. Born on December 23rd, 1866 in West Tarring to Thomas Hills and Elizabeth Penfold, George Alfred Hills was affectionately known as George Albert later in life. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when he met his untimely demise on June 15th, 1920 at Hampstead General Hospital in London. It was reported that he had collided with a lorry while riding his motorcycle. The photograph is part of the Photographic Collection held at the West Sussex Record Office (Ref No: PH 24937). It serves as a testament to the rich history of pork butchery in Worthing and showcases the dedicated work ethic of this family-run business. The presence of delivery boys alongside their trusty trade bikes highlights the importance placed on efficient customer service during those times. This snapshot encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also tells a story about community values and hard work
