GA, what a delightful collection bakery storefronts from London’s past. They bring to mind similar establishments from my own childhood.

But now we are told that the absolutely worst foods we can eat would be those with WHITE FLOUR or SUGAR! Go figure.

The smell of baking bread from the bakehouse below the shop was
always enticing. A pennyworth of yesterdays cakes was always on offer.
At Christmas the locals would take their large turkeys round to be roasted
in the ovens for a small fee – a real neighbourhood bakery.
