Cream Cakes
There was a bakery here. We would come from school, Alma Road Secondary Modern, and ask for "Any stales" from the bakery. For 3d or so we'd get a big bag full of cream cakes, doughnuts etc. My favourite was the cream filled eclair. Most times the cakes weren't what I considered stale, I think the women in the shop gave us some of the fresh ones. Anyway we loved them. It wouldn't be allowed today.

RE: RE: Cream Cakes
If this was Burfords Bakery (which I think it was) I worked there as a sales assistant for about 1 year - the manageress was a very big lady (I cannot remember her name) but I do recall her selling the cakes at the end of the day. Joan Regan the singer was a regular customer.
Many Happy memories
