Re: PHOTO ~ Jamaican Horse drawn bakery carts

There was a bakery at 47 Molynes Road called the Victory Bakery which used mule drawn carts to deliver baked goods. Mules like Sam who drew the supply dray and the miserable Binns who was one of delivery cart animals made up the rake of about six.
The bakery was owned by a gentleman by the name of William Bartholomew Wilson father of the late Barbara Martin former principal of Merl Grove High School.
I can still remember the fresh white bread, the delicious butter cookies, the huge brick oven and the tasty molasses which was really meant for the mules.
Mr. Wilson died in a road accident in 1960 and Victory Bakery was closed down. The Sun Island factory and outlet can now be found on the merged properties of 45 and 47 Molynes Road.
Our home received bread for sometime thereafter from a Purity mule-drawn bread-cart and then from a Purity 3-wheeled Lambretta truck which was basically a motor tricycle with a bread-cart at the back.
