Guest Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 On the corner of Mansfield Rd and Bluecoate St. there was Judges bread and cake shop with a green shop front. They made minature Hovis loaves which i used warm up- hollow out and fill with butter. But at the back of the shop was a fantastic 1920's tea shop with lovely period fittings!! Never actually went in it as it was closed off throughout 60's and 70's. Anyone ever been in or eaten in there?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I think you will find the "Judges" name is still on the shop in gold letters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Never went in the tea room, but Judges used to make great pork pies - ordered a large one every Christmas. They also had a shop on Mansfield Road in Sherwood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,334 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hollow out the bread, butter and fill with chips - yummy, scrummy. Used to do this for luchtime when at school. George's chippy on Sneinton Dale used top fill our hollowed out batches for us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
