Bromley the Bakers.
*********************
There was a time when visitors to Cookham back in
the 1930’s I remember on a day trip say from London by train to spend the day
by the river. A great many would finish up their visit with a cream tea at
Bromley the Bakers before catching a train back to town. It was also a meeting
place for ladies of the village while in the village doing their shopping
either at Budgen’s or the International Stores.
The shop itself had been operating as a Bakers Shop
for a good many years going way back to the middle 1800’s. Together with
Deadman’s, at Carmonta Bakery in the Dean they both kept the village well
supplied with all its baked goods.
