UPDATE: A bakery will soon be open for business.
GAIL’s will be opening in Newbury next Thursday (July 18) at 1 Mansion House Street.
The new bakery will take inspiration from Paddington Bear, incorporating marmalade shades into its lighting, seating areas and display tables, in honour of author Michael Bond, who was born in Newbury in 1926.
GAIL’s has retained and restored the building’s original ceilings, plasterwork and flooring.
The site also used leftover building materials from other bakeries and new environmentally-friendly tabletops.
The first GAIL’s bakery opened in 2005 in Hampstead.
The chain now has branches in 125 neighbourhoods across the UK, including in London and Oxford.
