      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - Thomas Altham - 1826-1912</image:title>
      <image:caption>Founder in 1856. Lived at Mewith Hall Farm, Bentham. Married three times and had nine children. Thomas set up the business when Morecambe was but a fishing village. Back then, the family shop on Queen Street faced the sea and was surrounded by green fields. In 1899, Thomas decided to establish another branch, a hut on wheels pulled by four cart horses. Thomas turned his attention to farming and left the business to his son, John Carr Altham.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - Rick Altham - 1977 - Present</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the young age of 17, Rick began working at the Althams Factory in Morecambe on the shop floor. A number of the team Rick works alongside today were present on his first day in the family business. Things were very different then, and all the order processing was done by hand with a notepad and pen. Within 12 months rick decided to return to the heart of the farming industry to improve on the knowledge he already had from his childhood. He spent nearly all his weekends and school holidays farming which is where his heart is. Rick worked with his father Thomas Altham on the family farms rearing a range of cattle and sheep for a number of years. As a result he was fortunate to learn the whole process of farming from calving and lambing to rearing, fattening, slaughtering, butchering and finally the reason we are in this industry - eating them! Rick returned to the butchery business full time as Operations Director in his early twenties. At this stage he worked up to 18 hour days learning how the business ran in every department. From here on in Rick and his brother James have driven the company in one direction only and with the continuous help and valued support of every team player they have managed to get where they are today.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - Mrs. J.C. Altham - 1868-1952</image:title>
      <image:caption>A woman of substance. Left a widow in 1904 by John Carr Altham, with three children all under six years old. No banks in the area would lend a woman money. A good friend in Ireland lent her the money to get the business back on its feet. With hard work and her acumen and tenacity, the business flourished. To make extra money, the children slept in the cellar and all of the bedrooms above the shop were used for Bed and Breakfast. Hard work, she always said, never hurt anyone. Her spirit and determination were unquenchable. She did not tolerate slackers in her business. She often found that errand boys were too slow and was determined to find a fast one. She organised a race on pedal bikes along the promenade. The first one back to the pier received a cup and a job in the butcher's shop! Her motto to her staff: "Pull hard my lads. We'll win the day"</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - Thomas Carr Altham - 1942- 2019</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thomas’ first job after leaving school (aged 15) was slaughtering lambs, pigs, &amp; cattle that came over from Ireland to Heysham harbour by boat and were not fit to travel onwards by train. They would kill 200 lambs on a Sunday morning! Thomas worked at the main Regent Road shop with his father Thomas before taking over the main shop at Queen Street. One of his early birthday presents from my father was a ‘sow in pig’, it was my first lesson on how to turn an animal into money! In those days our Christmas turkeys were collected on an open back truck from Penrith and brought to Morecambe for the window display in Queen Street! After leaving the business in good hands and his sons taking charge, Thomas now enjoys farming full time, with some of his livestock finding its way back through the butchery business over the past few years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John Carr Altham married Isabella Raby of Park Farm and had three children. He played rugby for Morecambe and was nicknamed "War Horse". He tragically died in 1904 and left a widow and three children all under six years old. A gambler and alcoholic, he left the business in a great deal of debt. He sold meat to the Heysham Harbour Townships (nicknamed Clondike and Dawson City) manned by Irish Navies. Money collected was spent in the Strawberry Gardens on his way back to Morecambe.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As a young boy he travelled the markets of Scotland buying cattle and sheep. Thomas worked mainly in the Regent Street shop. In 1943 he bought Morecambe Bank Farm where he reared sheep and cattle which were sent to an abattoir owned by Althams in Morecambe. Cattle and sheep were bought by Thomas over in Ireland and transported by sea to Heysham. He was also a J.P. and civil commissioner for the Inland Revenue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - James Altham - 1974 - Present</image:title>
      <image:caption>James became a director in 1993 after spending his childhood working in the family-owned farms and the butchery business. He joined the butchery business full time in 1994. James became Managing Director in 2000 after his father decided to dedicate more time to his farms. Since then, through dedication and hard work we have grown the business from a regional supplier in the North West and surrounding counties to one of the largest independent family-owned and run butchery businesses in the UK, with a distribution network capable of covering the country. We achieved this by investing in our site, our team, making the most of IT and the excellent regional meat the UK has to offer. Quality is of utmost importance and together with our service levels and innovation James and his team have created a butchers which can only be regarded as high class and state of the art, something which is a credit to each generation. The Althams family all have left their marks on the development and growth of the business, from James’ parents Thomas and Val, who first recognised the potential of the catering trade, to the founder The Late Late Thomas Altham, and with the 6th generation in training Althams will only continue to live up to its potential.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Heritage Timeline - Val Altham - 1950 - Present</image:title>
      <image:caption>Val Altham was born in Kendal, Westmorland, now known as a Cumbria. Her contacts throughout the area provided an excellent base for when she started working with Thomas. Val trained as an accountant and brought structure to the business, as Thomas concentrated on the butchery and farming. They saw the opportunity for the supply of meat to The Lake District hotels and surrounding area and by introducing a strategic development plan of achieving business growth. By implementing the plan Althams Butchers became stronger, in turn leaving the foundations of a successful family business for her sons and future generations.</image:caption>

From 35 days old, birds are fed on cereals and dairy products (intentionally low in protein to encourage the birds to forage for insects). Finished on maize and milk for the last two weeks of their lives, they are slaughtered at 4 months vs a comparison broiler chicken at 21 days.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Hero Food Products - Dry Aged Bone-In Beef - From the Dry Age Chamber, product can be aged on the bone up to 60 days.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At Althams we have our very own, state-of-the-art Dry Age Chamber. Dry Aging is a traditional way of aging meat to enhance the tenderness and flavour of the meat, making it the highest possible quality it can be. We Dry Age our meat for a minimum of 28 days before our expert butchers cut them into steaks, within three weeks the steak loses 10% of its weight. Water is lost from the front and the back of the meat but the fat and the bone on the sides makes these areas waterproof. As the meat Ages in the Dry Age Chamber it becomes darker in colour. In this specialist finishing process, bone in beef must comply with an industry grading standard with fat levels of 4L to 5H. The fat helps to retain the moisture in the meat and produce the fatty, nutty smell we all adore.</image:caption>
