My father, George Warder, owned ‘Warders Bakers’ and the Bake House at Ramsden Heath, behind the cottages. He also ran a catering business and had a chicken farm where he lived in Billericay. He retired at the age of 70(?) and died in September 1992.

Do you have a picture of the bread van?

I have recently acquired a picture of a Warders electric bread van, manufactured by Helecs Vehicles of Manchester, and photographed in the early 1950s. It shows a lady driver, with a bread basket on her arm, and was taken by one of the founders of Helecs Vehicles.

I remember the bakery well, spent nearly every Saturday there working on the rounds.

Warders also had shop the other end of the High Street, opposite The Swan pub, the end shop before you go into Southend Road. They were in Ramsden Heath at the same time which was the bakery I believe.
