Popular Black Country butcher to reopen after recent closure

A new butcher shop is set to take over the former Stan Knowles premises in Coseley, with window signs revealing Dixon's Butchers and a hot food counter are "coming soon".

Signs have appeared in the window of the former Stan Knowles butcher's shop on Hurst Hill, Coseley announcing that a new business is set to open.

The much-loved Hurst Road premises closed earlier this month after serving the community for 45 years.

Now, photographs taken at the shop show new signage advertising Dixon's Butchers, with "Hot food coming soon" also displayed in the window.

The signs indicate the premises will soon reopen under new ownership, although an opening date has not yet been announced.

The previous business, Stan Knowles, had traded from the site since 1981 before closing its doors, thanking generations of loyal customers for their support.

A notice placed in the window at the time read: "It has been an incredible journey, and we are truly grateful for the support, loyalty and friendship you have shown us. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers."

The arrival of Dixon's Butchers means the long-standing butcher's shop will continue to serve the Hurst Hill community, with the addition of a new hot food offering once it opens.
