We used to like his dripcakes ,warm with a slice of pork on,they were so tasty.And the pork pies were better than I have ever known.The smell coming from that shop early morning was mouthwatering. I'm guessing that was the one on the "Black's shops" parade? They did do a very good pork pie.

Millies at the end of Glossop St in WoodHouse baked bread to die for in the 60s. The smell of the hot bread coming from the ovens was awesome.

The best bread i remember were my mums oven cakes, a lot better than the so called bread cakes they sell now.They were not full of fresh air like most of the ones on sale now. Come to think of it most of the things we ate were better than now i dont think we had e numbers then. The bit we did eat was always fresh no fridge in them days in our house at least.

Bondgate Bakery (just along from the Junction) Otleydo fab Currant Teacakes. Think they supply other 'bread shops' and certainly None-go-Bye Farm Elsewhere here Tasa said "Hagenbachs", rang a bell.

Jack Dammes bread master on Lower Wortley Road. He also made a cherry and walnut cake best derscribed as beyond words. My mate's mum served in the shop and sometimes provided a box of individual buns/cakes/fancies while we played out.I cannot imagine a more delicious cake stops play situation. Headingley or Lords will be lesser catering, do they play cricket in heaven? Paradise slice anybody?

Has anyone any cakes left over from Silvio's? Or just a slice of orange gateau from Lewis's foodhall, you could smell it from the base of the wooden escalator.
