Description: This image shows a collection of objects pertaining to Reginald (Reg) Bridewell, Master baker, the original owner of Bridewell's Bakery.

The medals were awarded to Reg from London for Best Loaf of Bread 1919, 1921 and 1924. The photograph shows Reg with his bakery van outside the business's first address on the corner of Main Street and Victoria Avenue, around 1935. Not long after this photograph was taken, the bakery moved to 487 Main Street (later renumbered 729 Main Street, one of several Terrace End shops) where it remained operating until the 1980s.
