helbco Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Can anyone tell me if Gregory's Cake Shop still exists. It was the one thing I forgot to check out on my first trip back to Sheffield in 24 years (last year). The BEST ice tarts (like a cherry bakewell) and even better vanilla slices.. yum!

Deebles Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Can anyone tell me if Gregory's Cake Shop still exists. It was the one thing I forgot to check out on my first trip back to Sheffield in 24 years (last year). The BEST ice tarts (like a cherry bakewell) and even better vanilla slices.. yum! I don't know whether it was the same Gregorys you knew (depends how long it had been there for) but there is one listed in the 1959 Kelly's Directory as E. & H. Gregory bakers & confctnrs. at 224 Abbeydale Road. There is is now an Italian Delicatessen at 224-226 Abbeydale Road. So this maybe answers your question. (don't quote me on that though) Deebles Unless anyone knows if they moved elsewhere but can't see them listed in the Yellow Pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil memmott Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hiya Helbco, Gregory's had a bakery and shop in Chesterfield Road as well as the shop in Abbeydale Rd. My mother worked for Mr & Mrs Gregory, and my sister and her husband lived above the Abbeydale Rd shop for some years. I can also remember my Mother, my Brother Terry and me staying in the Gregory's caravan for a week at Flambrough in the late 40's/early 50's. Gregory's fruit pies were brilliant as well as the other stuff the made. regards neil memmott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helbco Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 oh well - sounds like we might now have the italian version of ice tarts and vanilla slices!! On my visit back in 1982 my Aunt bought me a tray of 6 iced (Bakewell) tarts - I ate them all in one sitting ! I occasionally buy packets of Mr Kiplings but its just not the same!

Deebles Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi again Helbco, Yes the iced bakewells were my father's favourite too, who is Mr Kipling?:-) regards Mr Kipling? R U Kidding? Have you never heard the saying 'Mr Kipling makes exceedingly good cakes!' or should that be 'small cakes!'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helbco Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 exceedingly good "taste" - but always worry about the other ingredients that give them a shelf-life of 12 +!! And yes- they ARE small - about half the size of a Gregorys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil memmott Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Good point Helbco, old man Gregory's iced Bakewells were'nt on the shelf long enough to go awf!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
