A Timaru butchery that is believed to be one of oldest in the country has reopened under new ownership and a new name.

The site, on the corner of Rathmore and Church streets, is likely to have been home to a butcher shop since the late 1800s.

On Tuesday it reopened as Cloudy Peaks Butchery, marking the return of an independent butcher at the site after the closure of Burgers Butchery in February.
