Wilstead Bakery

The Wilstead bakery has been redeveloped and the workmen found - I think it is called a ''bath chair''...which they kindly allowed me to take rather than it going on the bonfire.


The chair is about a hundred years old and is now in the museum at Shuttleworth...I think the family who owned it were probably the RICHARDSONs bakers?  But can not say for certain...the Shuttleworth museum were pleased to have it  as they do not have one...
