The Meat Game tells for the first time the fascinating story of the Gepps Cross abattoirs and saleyard complex, from its utopian concept through its years of growth and operation to its eventual ruin as a victim of competing interests.

A comprehensive and abundantly illustrated history, including first-hand accounts and previously unpublished photographs, The Meat Game is for anyone connected with the industry or for those who take an intelligent interest in the origin of their food.
