Economic Stores Bakery, Halifax

Caption :- During the 1920s and 1930s, the Economic Stores erected a motor garage facility for the company's vehicles, together with a large model bakery on the former Central Works site. The company was very successful until the 1960s, but declined thereafter, closing in the mid 1970s. Harold Marshall, engineers, established in 1974, next occupied the premises until the 1990s. A branch of Burger King has since been erected on the site. View of the site during demolition, June 1995.
