Newboulds had taken over a Leeds firm called Prices and we used to deliver to all their customers including Gilpins on Vicar Lane, I remember it as if it was yesterday - there were no parking spaces and we were parked in the middle of Vicar Lane blocking it. We also delivered to Yates Wine Lodge - I can't remember where it was, but it was in the city centre and certainly underground. We also delivered to the approved school that's mentioned on another thread - the bad lads all had brown corduroy zip up jackets and trousers and we delivered the bread through a window. Newboulds bl**dy h*ll over forty years ago! Red Thames Trader 4D trucks.

Newboulds and Hagenbachs were part of Sunblest - Allied Bakeries, if we ran out of anything we used to have to go into a Hagenbach's shop and buy it retail! The other Allied Bakeries firm who delivered in our area were Whittles from Littleborough. Burtons Biscuits, and Fine Fare were also part of Allied

I do remember putting old bread in the middle of trays surrounded by fresh bread. You carried the wooden trays on your head. Balanced them with one hand, once you got the hang of it it was easy.
