The building at 257 Canterbury Road was a bakery built for George Redman in 1900 after he moved from a site opposite Highfield Road. It became Charles Gray's bakery in 1916 which continued into the 1930s with a garage using the stables and yeard from the late 1920s. The site became Advance Motor Garage in the mid-1930s and from the late 1950s, a panel works. A cake store operated from the small shop until c.1950 when it became a pet shop.
