John Jones Butchers asked the archivists to help them research some key dates as part of a project to overhaul their shop front and create a new logo. The business wanted a fresh modern look but also a sense of continuity and respect for the business' traditions.

One of the design features to be included in the new logo was a date of establishment. Will Jones, the fifth-generation butcher in the family, asked North East Wales Archives for help.
