Mr Kipling – Exceedingly Good Memories

September 26, 2019 By SO53 News 2 Comments

Channel 5 has recently shown the “Secrets of the Mr Kipling Factory” programme. This has triggered many people’s memories, especially those who used to work at Manor Bakeries in Eastleigh.

Our reader Jill Mayes shared her memories of Mr Kipling with us:

Watching Mr Kipling cakes. Both my parents, myself and lots of friends worked for them at Manor Bakeries at some time or other in Eastleigh. I worked off of cupcake alley and they even made my wedding cake. The test bakery cakes were lovely. My mum got a free box of cakes every Christmas until she died. 🧁🍰 exceedingly good memories.

    I wonder if Jill knew my brother Peter White he was a supervisor in Manor bakeries I believe he was on one of the cakes lines , he started there around 1972 or 1973 and worked there until it closed .
