Excerpt from the Windsor and Richmond Gazette 8 March 1890 p. 5

Over the years it has also been operated by Mr. G. Barnsley and then from 1934 by the Morrison family. It the early years, home deliveries were made around the district from the cutting cart and stock was kept cool using large blocks of ice from the works in Windsor.

The buildings have survived many floods over the years and water has reached over the level of the gutters on the roof on many occasions. Morrison’s sold the business in the 1970s and the premises continue to operate as both abbatoir and retail shop.
