Blatch & Shepherd, Bakers and Confectioners

This area of Horsham was developed in the late 19th century so this bakery (left) and shop (right) would have been built at the time. I don't know if the two businesses were associated then but it seems probable. The bakery has a first floor store complete with a roofed-over hoist for hauling flour sacks Image Sadly, this business closed in 2006 but the notices do not advertise the property for sale or rent. Addendum: Image began in late 2007.
