Village Bakery (circa 1940’s)

Jan 28, 2018

British Pathé

Synopsis: Silent newsreel footage shows how bread is made from farm to bakery.

Reality Cat: The latter portion of the film was shot in Cresswells’ Bakery in Braintree, Essex. At the end of the reel some women come into the bakery to buy some bread. A tabby cat is sitting right on the counter along with the loaves.
