The Old Bakery

The Old Bakery - 1595

The Old Bakery believed to have been built in 1595 is a building which has seen other uses than a bakery over the years.

In 1855 it was owned by John Grant who lived there as a grocer and in the 1880s John and Martha Collett took over.

By 1923 the building had been used as a post office for several years.

The Old Bakery is a detached, Grade II listed property. The original thatched house has a later Georgian addition and has been further extended in latter years with a garden room linking the main house and the original bakery which still retains the old oven door.

The old bakery now forms the kitchen for the property.

What a treasure. Love it in b&w, it really suits it.
It makes what I am going to post look unsubstantial and flimsy.

So much character. The wall looks rather wonky in spots, which just adds to its character. Great shot & loved reading the history
