Looking for any historical info about Ravens Bakery, 68 High st, Ingatestone. It is still a working bakery, the building is extremely old and still carries the name of the family that run it before the 1960's. I have done some digging into the history of the building and the Raven family, but found nothing. any info or advice on where to look would be very welcome.
