Title: Attfield Bakery Sunbury
Post by: siouxie on Monday 25 April 05 22:23 BST (UK)

Hello
Does anyone have any information or clues as to how I could get information about a Bakery business at 17 French Street Sunbury owned by my grandfather Reginald John Attfield . It was functioning at least between the two world wars. Hopefully  Sue

Hello Sue

Sunbury records are now kept at Croydon Local Studies library,  but I believe that there are copies at the LMA.

If you are just after anecdotal information, perhaps from people who knew your family or who just remember the bakery, it might be worth writing to a local newspaper.  Sunbury Library should be able to help you with this.

Hi
I was born in Sunbury and I am sure that if you visit this web site the gent who runs it may be able to help.  There are a lot of pix of Sunbury on the site also.
