READERS have wished a 'happy retirement' to the owners of a butcher that will close next month.

N&S Rhodes Butchers will close their doors on July 29 after being in business for 36 years.

The business, owned by 67-year-old Norman Rhodes and his wife, 66-year-old Sue Rhodes, has been part of Barrow Market Hall for 30 years.

However the couple said it was 'time to call it a day.'

Barbara Robson said: "Tom and I wish you both many happy years of good health and enjoyment in your retirement. You will be sadly missed. I can’t remember a week when I have not been to you for meat. With love Tom and Barbara."

Denise Dacre said: "Happy retirement, sad you are going though."

Sarah Moss: "End of an era enjoy your retirement."

Andrew Robertson said: "Sad to see you close shop, but have a fantastic retirement."
