Alresford, West Street c1955 (ref: A181009)
Year: 1950 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.
