George developed other enterprises in conjunction with the shop.   He kept and fattened pigs and also bought fat pigs for slaughter.   Annie cured the bacon and the hams and ran down the lard, all of which they sold in the shop.   Every market day he would collect fish and newspapers from High Wycombe. . . click George & Annie Floyd for the family
