Where is this?

[Leodian]

A bit off topic but the talk of Jewish bakers has reminded me of Zermansky's bread that my mum used to occasionally buy up to the late 1950s and maybe a bit after. I think it may have been a treat and my recollection is that it was delicious. As far as I know Zermansky's bread is no longer sold, but I may be wrong.

Centre right at number 83 is Mac-Sky Stores (prop. Sam Macofsky) Two men and a boy pose in the entrance to shop. Row is a mixture of houses and shops, mainly derelict. Photo is facing uphill towards North Street. The roof of the Polish -Jewish synagogue is just visible (NE side, background left) Adverts and bill posters can be seen. Brill It's Brill, but it's not the same location as this shop. The older one was on Byron Street (no.83 as Leodis states) and as far as I can see there is no photo of the regent street store in any other photos on LeodisStrange how the numbering sytem worked then, but don't forget Cross Stamford Street was different in those days. It was more obvious how it joined to Skinner Lane/ Regent Street than it is now and there was no roundabout, Renault Garage (not that there is now either!) I dont think there is a doubt the building remaining is the correct one though.

I was watching a cookery prog the other day where they were using Matzos crackers as a base for a bowl of stew.

I was led to believe it was unleavened bread, I don't know if that's true.

Rakusen's moved to the ring road at West Park and I think they still make Matzos there.JD
