Payees Chelsea Buns
A Memory of Newtown.
Half way down on the left was Paynes cake shop where we would buy Chelsea buns from about 10.30 onwards for 2 pence halfpenny, (that's in old money). They were hot, soft and very sticky with syrup and tasted wonderful. We have been to many places since living in Newtown, but never have we found Chelsea buns as good as Paynes.
I remember running from the grammar school at morning break time and getting a huge bag full of buns and then selling them for 3d to other lads; however, if you were caught, the Chelsea's were confiscated and the staff delighted in eating them in the window of the staff room, just to rub salt into the wounds.
