Auxillary Fire Station in Geraldine Road, Hay Mills. 1939.
Does anyone remember Hannams cake shop on the Coventry Road in Hay Mills. Best custard slices in the world. 1968 ish. I worked at Land Rover at the time.
I just remember going there on a regular basis for Custard Slices and Proper Lardy Cake.It was just by the pelican crossing and opposite the church on the corner of Kings Road, if my memory is correct .
You dry cleaners , the barbers, then the bakery (I think??)
My father delivered for Hawleys bakery to the shops. You are right damaged cakes in the house in abundance. I always remember one incident when he had to brake hard. Oblong custard pies, Custard slices topped with cream. A whole tray on the Kitchen table. Main problem non could compare with Grandmothers home made fruit cake.Reply, my mate's Dad worked there as a Baker, we would get all the damages and spares to eat.
Eatonways coaches next to the rec, I mentioned this a few years ago on B'ham history and got shot down in flames. when I was a young 4 5 6 year old we often went on day trips with them and they differently had a base there glad to here someone else remembers this.As I crossed HeyBarnes Road the Shops were Bedders chip shop, Eatonways Coaches, Heybarnes rec , the bridge over the Cole, Plough and Harrow, and outdoor , Butchers (Joe ??) a drapery shop, the access path to the house down the gulley, Toni’s the Italian Barber, Harris dry cleaners, Friut and Veg shop double fronted, Paper shop (the son of the owner played Rubgy for England and was a policeman) Hardware shop , Hay Mills Fish bar , Electrical Shop and his yard , another Barbers , then the Bakery .
