Was Scribbans Bakery the building with the dome shaped roof?
If so.... I remember that it could be seen for miles.... a true landmark.
(if it wasn't... I've just made a pillock of myself)
My mum used to treat me to a pineapple cream on a Friday when she had done her shopping at the co-op in Bucklands End Lane ,not sure where they came from but they were the best, thanks for the memoryI seem to be a bit late joining this but as a lad I did a Saturday with Ken Tromans in Quinton around 1956, We had the Morrison electric van. The firm were in Lodge Road then. We later did the Solihull round with the first walk through van - Mr Scribbans lived in Solihull at that time. I had my own rounds in 1960 in Shard End and Sparkhill with a J2 van, the firm was taken over by the Sunblest group aqnd I used to take a 15cwt van to Nottingham on Sundays with Malcolm Chase in another 15cwt. We also 'swapped' bread and cakes with Bradfords, West Bromwich. who supplied us with the best pineapple creams ever.
