Notes
- Powter's butchers was originally started by the present owner
Grant Powter's
great-grandfather; William John Harper (b. 1868 Barrington), who came to Newmarket in 1881 as an apprentice to
Norwich born butcher Thomas Tebbutt Cunnington, whose shop was further along on the
other side of Wellington
Street.
-
After a slight change of location the business was next owned by son-in-law Herbert 'Horace'
James Hawes,
renamed
H.J. Hawes Pork Shop and moved
to
its well-known location next to Drapery Row.
- Ken Powter took over the Pork Shop from his father-in-law in
1965, re-named it again to Powter's
and moved it to its present location in No.11 Wellington
Street.
- Powter's® is one of the EU registered brands of Newmarket

On 15th November 2012, the 'Newmarket Sausage' received the European Commision's Protected Geographical Indications ( PGI) status, the registration for this requiring the sausages to be produced within a very tightly closed geographical boundary surrounding Newmarket - 'from junction 37 on the A14, north on the A142 left at River Lane ....'. The sausage recipe is also controlled, although of course each shop has it's own variation on this.

Goldings Cheapside Store
- Founded in 1855 by Samuel Golding, Cheapside Store (here in Wellington
Street) was the first incarnation of what would
subsequently become Golding of Newmarket.
The business proved to be so successful that it outgrew its humble beginnings within seven years and had to open larger premises at No.67 High Street, which was run by his son Herbert Samuel Golding.
