THE BAKEHOUSE ON THE MOOREND ROAD

The property was offered for sale in 1866 and was described as dwelling-house and bake-house and nine cottages adjoining. This must be the Old bake-house now derelict and the nine cottages in The Alley under the arch which were still there in 1871 but have since been demolished.
