What is recorded here
This grey commemorative plaque records: Knowlands St Martin's Lane. A slaughterhouse owned by Marsh the butcher, whose whop was at 50, High Street, was here until it closed during World War II. The name Knowlands comes from the farm between Barcombe and Spithurst, which is where the animals were reared. Recorded plaque organisation: Friends of Lewes Society.
The site marked by this plaque was once a slaughterhouse owned by Marsh the butcher, integral to the local meat supply chain before its closure during WWII; the area's connection to livestock rearing at Knowlands farm underscores its historical role in the regional agricultural economy.
