It was sad to read in www.yorkshirepost.co.uk that after 92 years of service, a cake shop, called ‘Sterchi’s’ in Filey, North Yorkshire is about to close.
It’s heyday, it said, was in the 1930’s when afternoon tea and light supper were an every day part of British life.
The shop opened in 1924/25 but now with big shops eating up all the little shops, it just came down to basic book balancing, that made them decide it was time to close the doors.
The owners Mr Philip Cammish and Mrs Sue Cammish, were very sad to have to close the shop. They have been overwhelmed with letters and phone calls bemoaning the closure.
Seems strange they are having to close, tea shops always seem to be quite busy.
I thought that as well as not only that ‘afternoon tea’ is the in thing at the moment.
Yes I agree.
Very ad…:yes: I know the shop…we often went there when we lived in Yorkshire – spent many delighful ‘breaks’ in Filey…had use of a friend’s flat…not far from the Tea Shop…;)x
Small world Bushka, never been to Filey but would like to go 🙂 x
It has a very special ‘charm’…..;)
It is always sad when the ‘little guy’ closes. I think atmosphere and service are completely lost on bigger chains. Hope they enjoy their freedom though x
I agree with you brokendownangel – there is nothing like a traditional afternoon tea shop, the fast food shops that are now doing ‘afternoon tea’ are nothing like the proper ones. 🙂
Its really Great to see this site.Give us more interesting and informative stuff.keep doing work like this for the further also..Thanks Buddy.
