Almonds Bakery

A Memory of Roundthorn.

I have moved around the country since leaving Wythenshawe in 1977 but I recently returned to Roundthorn through my work and visited Duerrs Factory. Whilst there I was convinced that this was previously Almonds Bakery where I worked from 1973 to 1975. This brought back memories of visits to the Black Boy (?) at lunch time with my work mate Helen Bloor for a plate of chips! Can anybody out there confirm whether Duerrs on Floats Road was in fact Almonds in a previous life? Almonds later became Mothers Pride then RHM.

Hi Liz,It certainly was Almonds Bakery.I worked there first as a van lad and then a driver from 1963 till 1975.In 1974 it changed its name from Almonds to Mothers Pride.It closed in May 1980 mainly due to the many strikes in the late seventies.
