More boldly badged as the Hovis bakery, The Lord Rank Centre is in smaller print under the loaf logo over the entrance. Lord Rank, of Rank Hovis McDougall flour fame, is probably better known as J. Arthur Rank of the Rank Organisation, film and cinema mogul. Lots about him, recounting his journey from flour to films via Methodism, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Arthur_Rank
