    Lucas Great Hampton Street works

    I served my 5 year apprenticeship at Great Hampton Street from 1961 to 1966 and then went to South Africa in 1969 to their Girling division in Johannesburg for two years. Finished up in Rhodesia in 1971 before returning to the UK in 1986.

    Wimbush Bakery

    When my wife and I returned from Zimbabwe in 1986 she fell in love with their Lardy Cakes and Custard Slices, whilst I was already hooked on their Pineapple Cream Cakes, amongst other items, before I left the UK in 1969 for South Africa and, unplanned, Rhodesia. How we wish for the good old days.
