Days Gone by
This particular photo holds a lot of memories. Tthe bakery on the right hand side was owned by an old lady Mrs Rymes. My friend Di and I thought she was at least 100 years old back then! She used to sit in a chair in the corner of the shop, her son was the baker and the baking was done in a small building to the right of the shop just out of the picture. They used to sell the most beautiful (and warm!!) current buns at a 1p each and ohh they tasted so good. Over the road I remember was the Crown, just in the foreground, a funny little pub with an old Bottle and Jug where we as children were allowed in to buy Ginger Beer and we would take the bottles up the road to the rec (Park) just past the pub, and up the alley by the large square building (flats) in the background on the left.

RE: RE: Days Gone by
I would like to know if anybody has any knowledge of Mr Rhymes the baker and his family, what happened to them and where they are now. His wife and two daughters lived on the Bath Rd and I knew them quite well. But, after changes of job etc., and moving to the Midlands, I lost touch. This would be almost 40 years ago. No doubt, Mrs Rhymes will now be deceased but what about her daughters ? Perhaps they have also moved but maybe not and they still live in the area. Any news would be much appreciated.
