The CDPB theme for Mayday is Bakeries.
The days of independant bakers is long gone and most bread comes from the supermarkets.
The popular franchise Greggs has a presence in Clarendon Mall. It took over the unit formerly occupied by Sylvio's restaurant and bakery which closed quite a few years ago.
Greggs' old position has been taken over by Poundland bakery.

Ahhhh! Thankyou for posting this. I'm a little bit ashamed to admit this the humble Greggs sausage roll rates number 2 on my list of food that I miss from home. It has to be fresh out of the oven so the pastry still has that give in it. Eaten straight from the paper bag outside on a cold day. mmmmmmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteIt's up there with a decent chicken jal frezi.
Good one.
ReplyDeleteHi Gerald. Sad if there are no independent bakeries in Hyde. There are plenty in Manchester city centre and the southern suburbs I frequent. I think the infamous Gregg's pastys and meat products and sugary foods are partly to blame for the UK obesity crisis. I advocate a unhealthy food tax!

ReplyDeleteLooks enticing - but where are the customers?
