Robbins Model Bakery
Can anyone identify whether or not this picture with the bakery in the background was located somewhere in Deptford...? Your help would be much appreciated as I'm trying to trace, for my family tree, the person on the left who I believe is my grandfather's brother who was born in Hale Street.
best regards to all
Andy

I had a quick look in British Newspaper Archive and the only Robbins Model Bakery references are from the West Country - there was a K.E. Robbins Model Bakery, 3 Lewis Road, Bedminster Down, Bristol (1936/37). Neil

There was a Robbins bakery at the corner of Algernon Road and Ladywell Road, near Ladywell station. Building is still there. It became Keogh's now is a sandwich shop.
