Bakery Court


These modern houses just off Queens Road are on the site of the former "Cake-a-Pie" factory in Hurst. The factory had originally been part of the massive Whittaker's cotton mills before becoming a flour mill. In later years it was owned by Rank Hovis McDougall. The housing development is appropriately named "Bakery Court".

  6. Thanks, I've amended it now. It makes the name of the development a bit misleading, though, doesn't it?
