Doug has seen plenty of changes on Allerton Road since his business first opened 50 years ago (Image: ECHO) On a small stretch of road in South Liverpool a family-run fishmonger sits alongside a butcher's, a baker's and a greengrocer's. One of my many fears is to be on an isolated stretch of road with no cell service and then to have another car start tailgating me or worse, forcing me off the road. Austin and his girlfriend Anna are on a road trip to Vegas and have no idea they are traveling a lonely stretch of road that has been dubbed Butcher Road, which is part of the town's folklore. Violence has plagued the stretch of road for years. Unless Butchers Road is/was actually owned by one or more butcher, Linda Rhead may omit the apostrophe, assuming that the name is descriptive not possessive, as with, say, Badgers Lane. The part I enjoyed the most was the ending with the bedroom and the girl. I thought that was so original and I was reading it like a movie and I could see everything that was happening, totally creepy.

At one time there were two other branches of the butcher's, based in Old Swan and Bootle, which later shut down in the mid 2000s. No, no. Horror movies, books, fiction... It's all derived from human nature. It's inspired by real events. If it's not, it's at least created by a real person. You understand what I'm saying? Someone sits there and thinks about all of the most terrifying situations that could possibly happen. It's... It's all based on reality.” All of this sounds awesome, right? And mostly it is. We follow a sweet couple, driving for business to Vegas through some long stretches of road that have spotty cell service. They find a car off the side of the road that has the passengers slaughtered. Clearly not dead from the accident the car appeared to have, but from violent cuts all over them. The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). For Scotland, 2011 data is shown (update coming soon, the Scottish census was delayed by a year unlike the rest of the UK).This sets up a situation where our couple finds themselves in the crosshairs of a killer. Some locals share details of urban legends that suggest there may be more murderers involved than the one they know about. Their situation just got exponentially worse. Who can you trust? Who else is involved? Two distinct living areas open up to outdoor spaces, where you'll find an inviting in-ground heated salt-chlorinated pool, accompanied by a pool house complete with a fireplace. This setting is the epitome of entertainment and relaxation, a place to unwind and spend the day. Take an evening stroll down to your very own pond, graced with lily pads and teeming with wildlife. The property is home to five resident geese and a curious pheasant who elegantly patrol the grounds. It is a bit unique that there are four really traditional food shops within a few yards of each other.” We all feed off each other but I think if one of us was to go then things would alter. We have some really loyal customers and we have a following with younger people too." "It seems to have gone full circle - people are fed up with supermarkets" To find out how they have managed to adapt to the ever-changing needs of customers and continue to thrive on the high street, we spoke to the faces behind the businesses.

The current owners have taken this property to the next level with a 2021 extension and renovation, which has received well-deserved recognition in the recent Waikato House of the year awards. It clinched the prestigious gold award, solidifying its status as a true masterpiece in home design and construction. Furthermore, the home earned the Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award for the Waikato. The accolades don't stop there; this exceptional property has also secured a spot among the top 100 homes in all of New Zealand. As a result, it is set to make a remarkable appearance at the national competition next month, further affirming its place among the finest homes in the country. Brian said: "The worst thing I find now is that anyone who retires in this game will have no one to take over.

It’s a particularly windy day on Allerton Road when we visit - but that doesn’t stop a steady stream of customers filing through the doors on their lunch break. My son is older now and has a job of his own. It's a nice little business it's just a shame that when I come to retire that probably will be the end of it."
