Many a time I have enjoyed consuming warm bread, preferably with butter, bought from Marshals at Gedney Hill in Lincolnshire. Sadly no more the bakery in that shop has gone the way of many family businesses and is replaced by a Morrisons Local shop. I never realized that it was once an offence to sell warm bread until I spotted this headline from August 24th 1917:
Allotments have a variety of forms and uses. They are important today as they were in the past. The purpose of them and their function may have changed, but as fiscal pressures become greater they may become even more significant to people by reverting to their original purpose: To enable those not receiving enough renumeration from their labours to support themselves and their families.
