There are not many local businesses that can say they have been going for more than 100 years but Nicholson’s Butchers in Whitley Bay certainly can.
The 108-year-old business in Park View was founded by Charles Nicholson during the First World War and has seen four generations of the family serve Geordies in the same premises it occupies to this very day.
Charles’ great-granddaughter, Kathryn Meadows, has now taken over the reins and spoke to Chronicle Live about how being a part of her family's legacy is a dream come true.
