A replica vintage butchery is paying touching homage to its creator’s much-loved wife.
Milton abattoir owner Rex Spence conceived the idea of building a replica 1930s butchery about seven years ago, but was moved to get the project under way in 2020, following the death of his wife Joyce.
Two years later, the vision he shared with Joyce has come to fruition, and will be officially opened to the public during the Tokomairiro A&P Show on December 10.
