Independent bakery chain Cornish Bakery has announced the opening of another waterfront bakery in a Grade II listed former glassblowing building on Plymouth Barbican, Devon, as Founder Steve Grocutt continues in his swift-growth mission to 100 sites.
Four other Cornish Bakery locations are currently in development at Caledonia Park at Gretna Green, Bury St Edmunds, Truro and Bakewell with Stamford, Beverley and Whitby Harbour opening in the past few months. Major refurbishments will also open shortly in Bideford and Newquay.
Built in 1896, the latest Cornish Bakery property carries Grade II listed status by Historic England. The former Plymouth Barbican fish market was created in the style of a train station by Sir James Inglis, engineer to GWR. The historic structure was only enclosed in 1995 when the new fish market opened on the east side of the harbour.
With 2,600sq ft of space, double height ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, affording impressive views onto the marina on one side and the picturesque cobblestoned Barbican on the other, this is a showcase bakery.
