Another little snippet, I remember about Hawleys was after years of the night shift selling bread from the factory (I have no doubt the money was pocketed)
The management must have got wind because they opened a shop at the rear of the bakery in Oughton Rd. This shop did a roaring trade selling bread, cakes and buns etc. If our family was having a party we always went there for any bakery requirements it was a big saving.
Nothing to do with Hawleys, but Oughton Rd was were I courted my first girlfriend. On the rear steps of the Friends Institute. She was that much taller than me and had to stand on a lower step.
