The Clean Plate café is the scene of a police investigation after evidence was found of a body thought to be missing teenager Mary Bastholm, a suspected victim of Fred West. Mary Bastholm worked at a sandwich shop, The Pop In, where The Clean Plate now stands, according to The Daily Mail Online. Books by Brian Masters and Gordon Burn state West was a regular at the eatery and he carried out work on the building s drains – though Rose West’s solicitor Leo Goatley believes West may have been laying floor there. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Goatley said: “I would think it very unlikely that Mary Bastholm was actually murdered or dismembered at the pop-in cafe.
