I remember climbing the wooden steps to the 'front desk' in the loading bay to order from the very helpful 'old lady'. Once you paid, the items would be brought out to you or to the yard if it was large. I hope someone can repurpose this character building and not demolish it (as per 'norm')!
Hear, hear! Too many buildings are being demolished.... it is more environmentally friendly to repurpose!
I worked there for about 6 years when it was Donald Cookes. The old mill definitely has character.
My Nan used to work at Mother's Pride in the 70s
