George Henry Randall - Butcher

George Randall and his wife Tilly bought the property, 26 Upper St James Street in 1929 when they returned to the UK from Germany. This was a year after John P. Goodridge sold the business to Ernest Chapman.

In his memoirs, Mr Randall wrote:

"It was 1929 we we returned to Blighty, and, taking the German doctor's advice, came to Brighton to see what we thought of it. We liked the town very much, so I started to look for a premises and found a little shop, with living accommodation, foe sale in Upper St. James's Street. Although it was in a dreadful condition, terribly rundown and dreadfully dirty, I decided to buy it. Tilly and I spent six weeks cleaning and painting the place before we could open. Then we had to start from scratch, as I had only bought the premises, not the goodwill."
