Pails Bakery

Typically sloppy captioning by the Telegraph staff The large building behind the group photograph is the Baptist Sunday School in Lord Street, nothing to do with the bakery. I've no idea where the picture of the white horse was taken but it looks nothing like Craven Street. Update: it was taken in Thomas Street where the business originated. It didn't move to Craven Street until 1908, ten years after Alfred Hugh Pails bought it from his employer. The current building of course isn't anything like as old as that.

Craven Crusts fails to succeed with plans for Pails project

What a shame. I remember this Bakery so well. When we were on School Holidays in the 60's we used to buy day old Chelsea Buns and suchlike for an old Penny !

Link to Coventry Telegraph (21-05-2012): Former family bakery up for auction. I really hope whoever owns it next takes care of it - over 100 years of history within those walls.
