When they first started up there were three of them. Mr Bottle was bought out by the other two.

My upwardly aspirational sister told our mother that her fiance was a Wragge and Bone man.

Long time ago I worked opposite the Braggs Bakery - the shop/cafe entrance on the Alum Rock Rd.  The Wimbush bakery was near the sty.
