Real Bread!

Back in the 60's I remember running errands for my mum to the local family bakers. We had two that I recall, Winstanly's next to the Zebra crossing at the Tramways and Cunliffe's down by Pine St.

It was Winstanly's for the oven bottom flour cakes hung on on a string and a white tin loaf with a crust that could break your teeth and Cunliffe's for the meat pies.

Now I stop at the garage and buy a loaf, wrapped in plastic that lasts 14 days and tastes n'owt like them.

We got a lot of our bread and cakes from Craig's Pantry, a mobile van that was quite popular around Farnworth. This would be the early sixties. Stopped coming round for some reason.

I always remember the fish monger that used to come round ringing his bell when he was in the street when I was a kid.

Ring his bell eh...

Sluffy doing knob jokes. A new low for Nuts.
