Bakery re-opens after sale
A FAMILY bakery in Henley which was rescued from closure re-opened on Monday.
Lawlors at Henley Enterprise Park, off Greys Road, has been refurbished after being bought by David Rodger-Sharp, who owns the jewellery shops of the same name in Duke Street and Bell Street.
He will open a café and shop at the former Sole Man cobbler’s unit in Duke Street tomorrow (Saturday), which will sell hot and cold sandwiches and sushi.
Mr Rodger-Sharp has hired five new staff, including head baker Tona Erreguin, who will split their time between the bakery and the café.

A FAMILY bakery which closed after 65 years in Henley has been saved by another of the town’s traders.
David Rodger-Sharp, who owns the jewellery shops of the same name in Duke Street and Bell Street, says he bought Lawlors to keep the name alive.
The bakery at Henley Enterprise Park, off Greys Road, which closed on January 16, will re-open in the next few days.
As well as the wholesale operation, it will have a new café selling cakes, coffee and sandwiches at the former Sole Man shop unit in Duke Street.
Mr Rodger-Sharp said that when he learned that Lawlors was going to close, he saw the chance to support a local business and save part of the town’s history.
