Photograph taken in June 1911 showing
William H. Payne’s
bakery, confectionery, grocery,
pork butchery and bacon curing premises at
9, 10 and 11 George Street, Warminster.
(No.11 was later demolished to give greater
access to the rear of the property).
Signs include: “Hovis Bread, as supplied to
the King, promotes digestion” “Cadbury’s Cocoa”
“Fry’s Cocoa” and “Cadbury’s Chocolate”.
“Pork Sausages Fresh Daily” “Pickled Pork” and

The Payne family lived on the two floors
above the shop. Their steam bakery was in a
building in the yard at the rear.

Chapel Street, Warminster Common.
Flags are flying above the shop windows,
celebrating the Coronation of King George V
(Thursday 22nd June 1911).
