Orange bakeries were kept busy in the lead up to Easter 1959. This week’s photo shows Mrs Nell Roberts with an overflowing tray of freshly baked hot cross buns to sell at Roberts’ Bakery in Summer Street.

Families also stocked up on loaves of bread to tide them over the Easter break as well as plenty of Easter eggs.
