Black & White Bakery
The white building on the right was where I was born; it was a bakers and confectioners owned by Mr White. My father was the baker there and we lived in the flat above the shop. The bakehouse was through the entrance where a person is standing with a bicycle. The ovens were wood (oak) fired and there was a large well in the yard which supplied the water. The next shop down towards The Dean was a general grocer and on the corner was a cafe owned by the Chalke family, (I can only remember the daughter, Susan, by name ). Opposite was I believe Haskins Garage.

The school house and St. Andrews Church played a huge part in my life back then as I was also in the Church Choir, Brownies & later the Girl Guides lead by Miss Jennifer Lines - who I adored. I was one of two girls to get sick with Scarlet Fever at this school and there was a big hush up so as not to panic the "simpleton villagers" as the Doctor put it. Charming! I then got Coxsackie Virus and I was off school for a ...read more here
