In a stirring tale of over 200 years of secret recipes, historic gingerbread fraternities and rival gingerbread bakeries, the rural and historic Shropshire town of Market Drayton has witnessed an unrivalled heritage associated with the celebrated and spicy gingerbread biscuit.
Market Drayton’s first contribution to gingerbread is said to be linked to the spice trade routes & Clive of India, who hails from the town, and indeed, there are records of gingerbread being made by a Roland Lateward, malster, in Shropshire Street from 1793.
