Can enyone remember Boltons the bakers in chapeltown i worked there from 1963 to 1974

I remember it well. Wasn't it in Station Road? They also had a shop in Church Street at Ecclesfield.

I remember it well. I also remember once visiting the couple who owned it at their holiday home in Skeggy or somewhere but I was very young.

i worked at the bakery up burncross road

i I worked at the bakery up burncross road. the holiday home was in sutton on sea.

Yes it would be sutton because we used to holiday in a chalet there on 'Miami Beach' I think it was called. It was Freddie Marshall wasn't it who owned it.
Remembered yesterday that I used to go and help Boltons catering for weddings when I was at school.

I used to drive a van saturday afternoons and take food, cutlery, crockery and the tea urns to varius locations

Fred Marshall died some 20 years ago. His wife died 13 years ago. She retired & lived with her son Andrew and his family in Gayton Lincolnshire. The son Andy trained as a baker and worked in the business, but became a primary school teacher for almost 30 years.

I have just attended Andy's funeral. As a friend said in his eulogy- he has gone to meet his baker. He was a larger than life character- the "best teacher in the wold" as one pupil described him, and will be much missed. About 200 people attended his send-off at Alford Crematorium.

Both he and his sister Jill [much earlier] died from unremitting ocular melanomas- nothing to done with sun beds.

His two sons are living- the elder a food scientist and the younger a photographer.

I am very sorry to hear about Andrew, I do remember him and I remember Jill too.
Jill worked in Schofields restaurant in the eighties did'nt she? I seem to think she was the restaurant manager? Very sad news, he can't have been very old?

yes Jill worked as manager at Schofields.

Andy was 59.
