Prest's Bakery was at bottom of Leamington Rd in the 60 s, my husband Norm was a driver for Wonderloaf driving out from there at 6 a.m. to deliver in Rochdale and Oldham going over Haslingden Grane in all weathers. Veget bakery owned by Ben Worsleys was at bottom of Cup Lane Darwen til it was taken over by Rank Hovis.
