Stockport residents have been left 'heartbroken' after a beloved family bakery announced its closure.
Hobson's, in Reddish, was started in the June of 1929, the day after founders Harry and Marion Hobson were married. Now run by grandson Martin, rising costs have left them struggling to stay afloat.
The bakery's Gorton Road home is set to be sold in September, bringing an end to nearly a century of serving the Stockport community. As news of the closure broke, residents were quick to share fond memories of the business many called part of their childhood.
