Clarks the Bakers, was located at the junction of Newtown Road and Fonthill Road, Hove. The second photograph shows the bakery in Newtown Road. I believe that I took these two photos in the early 1970’s when Clarks had several bakers shops in the Brighton and Hove area.
1d bag of stale cake
The shop that I remember well was the one in Portland Road at the top of St Heliers Avenue Hove. On my way to school at West Hove Junior School in the early 1950s, I would buy a 1 penny bag of stale cake.

My mum worked in the office of Clark’s in the 50’s and can still remember the names of her colleagues.
My late father in law Vic Maggs worked there – I think today you would call it maintenance. When first courting my now hubbie of 48 years – I would go to Sunday tea with a delicious array of cakes on the table. I recall buying from their shop in Western Road , their shepherd’s pie – very yummy.
