She's been keeping a community fed for decades - the story of a real local legend 😍
Bakeries have stood the test of time in all communities, surviving and thriving throughout the years.
Life for Lynn Pinder and her family was a different picture back then and as a teenager thinking about a career, Lynn never saw her future in the bakery coming. In the late 80s Lynn's mother, Maureen worked as a manager of a German firm in Longridge which burnt down leaving employees to decide whether to relocate to the offices in Germany or take redundancy.
As a teenager, Lynn took on a job at a local dairy factory where she worked Monday to Friday and helped her mum every Saturday since the bakery opened. In 1989 Lynn gave birth to her first child, her son, which meant she soon had to cut back hours at the dairy factory, opening her up to a more flexible working pattern at the family bakery.
"All the cakes out at the front have been made in the morning, all the fresh cream cakes and vanilla slices. We have it down to a fine art so doesn't take us long to fill the shop up each day. "It's really rewarding too, my husband used to joke that one of these days Trevor's going to be sat around our table. But that's what you do isn't it, you look after people because we know everybody."
