I remember cute little shops like that. Just don't see them anymore, it's a darn shame.

What is so great about those 2 shops is that they are modern thriving businesses not retro curiosity shops. The bakers in particular they supply many of the other shops in Ashford with cakes and sandwiches plus even cater food for business meetings. My company use them every Monday for their lunch time meeting, it is very convenient 2 people just walk across the road and collect 2 platters of sandwiches and cakes. The sandwiches made with freshly baked soft bread with lovely crisp crusts and of course homemade cakes. I am also fortunate that the bakers backs onto our back garden if you go up there about midnight to 2.00am you can smell the bread proving proving.

The little shop in the town centre has quality sweets (candy) but also caters for the everyday chocolate bar eaters, you can be an exclusive box of chocs or just a simple bar or Cadbury's Dairy Milk. A great shop with a great history, at one time their was 2 shops but they closed one down a few years ago but kept the older one.
