Step back in time with this charming photograph of W.H. Wigley's bakery van, a delightful relic from the roaring twenties of Birmingham, England. The Ford van, ingeniously shaped like a loaf of bread, is a testament to the playful creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the era. The van, adorned with the distinctive Shaftesbury Bakery logo, would have been a familiar sight on the bustling streets of Normanton Road, as it made its daily deliveries of freshly baked goods to the residents and businesses of the area. The baker, W.H. Wigley, and his team would have taken great pride in their handcrafted loaves, ensuring each one was perfectly baked and delivered in pristine condition. The 1920s were a time of innovation and humor, and this bakery van is a perfect example of the whimsical spirit of the age. With its unique shape and eye-catching design, it would have undoubtedly turned heads and brought a smile to the faces of those who saw it on the road. Today, this photograph is a precious reminder of a bygone era, when local bakeries were a vital part of the community, and a loaf of bread delivered to your door was a special treat. Let the nostalgia wash over you as you imagine the warm aroma of freshly baked bread wafting from the van, and the sound of the jovial baker greeting his customers with a hearty "Good morning!
