Just wondering if anyone can help me with a bakery my Grandad and father worked for.
My Grandfather worked there during WWI between serving.
Its   RC Hopinson Bakery

Does the Doncaster Local Studies section of the library have anything on it?

Worth asking ;D

Hi Ann

There's a group called 'Doncaster-Bygone Years' on facebook which has lots of local photos on it  :)

Good luck

Hi Ann
I remember going to the R C Hopkinson bakers shop in Balby at the junction of High Rd. and Low Rd.up until the 1960's.
I may have an old photo somewhere, if so If I find it I'll scan it and send it to you.
Regards
Bill
