Description

Image from about 1935, this bakery was on the corner of Main Street and Victoria Avenue. The site was leased from Hopwood's by the Bridewell family. On the far left is Reginald (Reg) Bridewell with his young son Maurice. His son-in-law Ron Siegel is on the other cart, next to Lionel Bridewell and Dudley Bridewell. The horses names are Lady and Tody.

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.
