A few weeks back, I was reminiscing on the smell of freshly baked bread from the Thompson’s bread van that used to call during the afternoon when I was growing up. I am not sure when they stopped but my recollection is that they were still on the road in the mid to late seventies.
Today, I received a reply from Gary Morris in Canada and it reminded me of this plaque I spotted some months ago. Upto then it was internal behind some windows but when replacement works were carried out, a recess was provided for the door and the plaque was revealed once again.
Having traded for 150 years when the plaque was erected, it appears that the business only survived another eight years.
Over thirty years have passed since it closed but its name is still strong in my memory – helping the argument that the effect of something on a child’s memory may be greater than an adult’s.
