Title
Bakers & Larners of Holt
Description
The property at 8 Market Place, Holt, was built in 1631, the date set in the west gable end. It has continuously served the area as a shop since 1730 or thereabouts with the involvement of the Baker's beginning in the 1760's or 1770's.
Bakers went through several incarnations before developing into the multifaceted emporium of today: Blacksmith, Brewer, Builders, Builders' Merchant, Ironmonger, Plumbers to mention but a few, and expanded all the time.
By 1958, having survived two World Wars, the Company employed 29 staff and was heavily into agricultural supplies. With the untimely death of Mr Jimmy Baker, the Managing Director, the next 15 years saw a period of decline, culminating in the near sale of the family business.
