Founded in 1864, Robinsons Artisan Family Bakery says it is 'drowning in a sea of increased overheads'.
A bakery that opened nearly 160 years ago has been forced to close after "drowning in a sea of increased overheads".
"Our electricity bills are four times what they were 18 months ago and it's unsustainable for us to carry on with these costs.""How can we put an extra £60,000 or £70,000 of electricity on to the cost of the product? It's just impossible," he said.The bakery first opened in 1864 and has been handed down from generation to generation
Posting on the firm's Facebook page, his daughter Grace Robinson, who manages the store, said she felt "extremely grateful to have had the past 23 years' experience being taught to be a baker and a business owner by my grandad Arthur, and my dad David".
