    There is one on Derby Lane. on the row of shops over the road from the Albany Pub. That looks like a family run shop, plus its been there for years.

    Just up the road from Rathbone Park there was a bakers. It was called Hanrattys. It's still there, but I don't think it's a bakers any more.

    Little Row of shops on Derby Lane. Across road from the Albany Pub.

    There is a Dones Bookies there and its next door to that. The old Post Office was on this row.

    Isn't it called the Derby Lane Sandwich Bar now and it's directly behind the bus stop? I do remember it being a cake shop in the past, although I don't know what it was called.

    I've just found a picture of where it is on wikimedia commons, which seems to be a collection of post box photographs!. It's inbetween Juels & Gems and Betfred.

    Thats it Mark

    Yep the one behind the bus stop.

    It sells mainly food now ( some cakes ) but was a cake shop in the past.

    Hi Edwardo, it could be the one by St Annes School, Green Lane end of Prescot Rd.

    There was a "Cooksons" shop, but that wasn't a Baker's.
    Cooksons was opposite the Masons pub, then moved to St Oswalds St, it was a clothes shop.
