The Heyday of Hull's Fishing Fleet

The Barkworth tradition for fish supply goes back many decades; four generations having worked in the industry and we have many long standing friends.

We recently came across this archive picture from the 1960's showing "bobbers" landing kits of fresh cod and haddock. "Chuck" Wilson, seen on the left, has been a friend and customer of the Barkworth family for many years. His fish landing skills, like many other "bobbers" had to be seen to be believed. He could land a kit on the quayside with such accuracy and seemingly little effort.

Congratulations to Matta’s International Foods, the exotic Bold Street, Liverpool food emporium, who clinched two major prizes at last night’s Merseyside Independent Business Awards.

The family-owned business was named Merseyside Independent Business of the Year and Independent Retail Business of the Year at the second annual awards event staged by Merseyside law firm Morecrofts at the city’s Titanic Hotel. Matta’s, which opened in 1965, is credited with introducing many Merseyside palates to world tastes from areas such as Arabic Africa, the Indian sub-continent and the Caribbean.

Dalip Matta, manager, said: "It’s 30 years since we first set up shop on Bold Street. None of us quite know where the time has gone but my brother, sister, father, mother and I have always loved the business and it’s great to think that we’ve been able to widen people’s horizons about different food cultures or help them to lead a healthier lifestyle."
