The Canal and River Trust finally backed down and George is going to stay open. It has been an exhausting road to get here but your backing kept the pressure on until they had no choice but to listen. I am going to buy some sausages and take a long …

Georges Pork and Poultry are a small family firm based in Audlem. The shop is down at lock 15 of the Audlem flight on the Shropshire Union Canal, but they also operate from a smallholding just outside the village. They stock at least 20 varieties of sausages and also a large range of fresh fruit and vegetables sourced as locally as possible,if not grown themselves. The shop is a valuable and interesting site on the canal. It is a useful resource and tourist attaction on the Shropshire Union Canal at Audelm. 


George's is closing down. This is due to a dispute with the new waterways charity CANAL and RIVER TRUST.


If you dont want George's to close Sign this Petition! and show your support for George's Pork and Poultry!

The situation with the trust is wearing me down but I am not ready to see this shop disappear. We need to push past this first milestone to prove that George has a community backing him. Please send the link to a few neighbors who might not have seen this yet.

This shop is the best part of walking the towpath. Why does CRT have to ruin everything good about the canal?

My family have been buying from him for years. The fruit is always so fresh.

Always stop here for sausages on my boat trips. Really sad news for Audlem.

Ridiculous. Support local businesses instead of hounding them out. Keep George open.
