It's been nearly 150 years since one local family business, that showed "every sign of becoming Britain’s favourite" in its early days, first opened up.
Many households have enjoyed Richmond sausages for breakfast, dinner and tea through the generations. But some may be unaware that the popular brand started from humble beginnings in Merseyside.
The original Richmond sausage was produced at 63 Lineacre Road, Litherland, after Lewis Moore opened a butcher’s shop in 1889. Proving to be a real hit, the business boomed and in 1917, a factory was opened on the same site, producing Oxford beef and Cambridge pork sausages.
