Tradescanthia Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 They certainly have. It was very popular in the sixties, despite being quite expensive. Up to a couple of years ago they still supplied British Forces Overseas and the Falkland Islands with bread under the Fletchers label. At the same time they supplied supermarkets, particularly Tesco, with bread under the supermarket's own label. I think that all sliced bread production has stopped now. Increased sales of toast immediately after the fire are just malicious rumours. A relation of mine is actually a baker in Port Stanley in the falkland Isles and a few years ago he said Fletchers Bread was on sale their.

hillsbro Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 And here are some pictures of the July 2006 fire. Fortunately there were no casualties. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Fire006.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Fire003.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Fire002.jpg http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u219/twigmore/Fire001.jpg There's no truth in the rumour that Fletchers were selling toast for weeks afterwards..

Plain Talker Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Gunstones bakery is situated in Dronfield where it has been for many years now. Late quote, but yes, Gunstones has been based in Dronfield for thirty years or more. I remember the staff bus picking up at Manor Top as I was waiting for my bus to work in 1980.

wednesday1 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Fresh as tomorrow good for you, good for me don't wait 'til tomorrow better buy a Fletchers loaf! Sad to see the decline of yet another Sheffield firm. Used to like those bilberry cakes with cream on top that we used to get from the vans in the summer holidays.
