Longhope Bakery, the Green's Bakery at Huntley and Ivy Cotta (General)

Hello Mike
This certainly gets me thinking. I have an old family photocopy of the 1901 Census and that lists an Annie Rosina Green who was a daughter working as an "assistant grocer and baker". So I assume that Annie had left by 1911 perhaps to set up her own grocery or bakery, or perhaps for a married life. I wonder if she did not move far - people did not in those days. Might she have become involved with the Longhope Bakery?

As for the 26 May 1906 case, this is not an item I ever heard anything about. If you able to forward details that would be greatly welcomed.

I am now wondering if Fred Foley and Percy Open died of natural causes or whether the death was work related. I recall a suggestion that flour caused chest problems and the atmosphere breathed in when working in a bakery was not wholesome. Reflecting on this, years ago one made childhood glue from flour and water, so there must be a risk that flour damaging the lining of the lungs. However, I am not a medical man so cannot comment with knowledge on this matter.

The reference to the "Green Bros"? Was this in the obituary, or notice of death of Joseph, or in a separate article?

Please keep up the good work with your responses.

Many thanks
