Clarrie Greenwood, Cheese stall holder in Accrington Market Hall
 

I bet most of you remember Greenwoods cheese stall in Accrington Market Hall.
Clarrie Greenwood started selling his cheeses in Skipton, but when a stall came empty in the Market Hall, he made a wise move!! This was around the 1940's. In those days there was only 3 types of cheese - Lancashire MILD, TASTY AND MEDIUM.

Love the cream cheese and onion too.

Me too.

Unfortunately, the Greenwood's stall is no longer there - but some Greenwoods cheese can be bought at a butchers in the market hall - G. Feather.

However, when I asked for some of the cream cheese and onion today, the butcher said that he didn't have any and had never been asked for it before. :-(

I'm going to see if there's another outlet...

You could make your own

And if you brew kefir, you can even make your own cheese

I have done it willow -- easy peasy :)
A square of open weave cloth filled with well fermented kefir curd (whey drained off), tightly knotted and then tied to a wooden spoon handle to suspend it over something to catch the drips

I recently bought some Greenfields Crumbly Lancashire cheese from Booths in Ulverston, which took my taste buds and braincells bouncing back to Accrington Outside Market. Thanks to your members photograph I can now see and smell Greenwoods shop in my minds eye.
Thank you

He had one of those faces you could never forget, took me right back to my childhood in the fifties.
