Longhope Bakery, the Green's Bakery at Huntley and Ivy Cotta (General)
Hello Mike
As a teenager I never gave this any thought. But now it is pointed out it does seem a big fireplace for a small cottage. On reflection, an enormous heating potential in an era when people did not have high temperatures and high levels of heating.
In defense of my lack of knowledge, I never saw any ovens so I am guessing they were removed before I was visiting there.
It is fascinating what one picks up on this Forum!
I will chance my arm a little further! Are there any old photos of this Ivy Cottage? I would be fascinated to see any that do exist.
Many thanks to one and all.
