Does anyone remember a cake shop that was operating in the 1950s (probably before and after too) just a couple of doors up from the Kingsway Cinema? I think it was next to the longstanding newsagents (wish I could remember the name of that shop too).
More importantly, does anyone remember the little service access yard to the rear of these shops that you entered from Poplar Road, just a few yards in from the main road? There was once a small slaughterhouse at the back of that yard, and also a small bakery. This bakery was run by my father, Harry Taylor, for many years. He made all kinds of cakes to supply to the Cake shop referred to above, plus he made wedding cakes, and he had quite a reputation for a side-speciality of his - Pork Pies.
I'd love to hear from anyone who remembers any of this.
