Newton Road in 1962 shortly before it was refurbished

47 Newton Road at the corner with Pratt Road. Behind was a bakery department.

Bought in about 1960, formerly the bakery and grocery of James Cook, the property had been empty for some years. For a short time before the Co-op purchased the property it may have been a fish and chop?

Refurbished in about 1962

At the rear was the bakery - these were the ovens

Further down Newton Road was the dairy yard and milk float garage, with the old bakery, and a Fish & Chip shop.

Rushden Echo, 28th January 1921 Rushden Industrial Co-operative Society, Limited. OUR NEW FISH SHOP will be Open for Inspection on MONDAY NEXT and during the week. It is the finest Shop of its kind in the district. Come and see for yourselves. Look out for further Announcements.

Please does anyone have a photograph of the
Co-op Bakery delivery van from the 1940s-50s
