The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Auckland Provincial District]

Norgrove, Charles

Norgrove, Charles, Family Butcher, Three Lamps, Ponsonby, Auckland. Private residence, John Street, Ponsonby. Bankers, National Bank of New Zealand. Mr. Norgrove settled in Ponsonby in 1896, and purchased the business of Mr. Noah Wood, who had established it in 1869. After carrying on the business very successfully for two years, he then purchased the well-established business of Mr. Arthur Knight, and with the combined businesses has succeeded in obtaining the finest trade in the prosperous suburb of Ponsonby. The premises are all that can be desired for the effectual carrying on of a first-class trade, and the machinery is all of the latest pattern, and thoroughly up to date. The ice room, too, is greatly appreciated by the general public, and is of great importance in a climate like that of Auckland. Mr. Nor-grove was born in Oxfordshire, England, and came to New Zealand in 1878. He is a thorough tradesman in every branch of his business, is careful that his numerous patrons may receive their goods clean and promptly, and strives to give the utmost satisfication. Mr. Norgrove is an enthusiastic follower of hounds in the hunting field; and he piloted page 390 the Butchers' Foodball Club through the season of 1899, without suffering a defeat. He is also chairman of the present Butchers' Picnic Committee, and is a popular man in all circles.
