Vertical file, Anne's Pantry
Anne's pantry was one of the early shops in the 1920s-1930s shops to be built to the north of the railway line. It was started by Miss Cook and Miss Porteous and has had a continuous history since, although it has changed location within the strip several times. No-one seems to know the origin of the name 'Anne'. Nick and Judy Hilverda took over in 1971. Vertical file of information related to the Union Road business known as Anne's Pantry: 1. Anne’s pantry cake shop notes written by Miss Porteous Nov. 1979 (2 handwritten pages). 2.
