Westwell's Bakery on Peel Street was opened in 1952 by Arthur Westwell. Arthur had been helping out in his Aunty's shop, Blacks in Droylsden, from the age of 10. At 22 he opened his first shop on Ashton Old Road before moving to Peel Street. When Arthur retired in 1990 the business was taken over by Kevin Rutter and his wife Debbie. Kevin had started working there as a Saturday boy in 1972. http://web.archive.org/web/20161013100311/http://westwellsbakery.co.uk/aboutus.htm
