| 説明 | Cadishead and Irlam Guardian Saturday, May 29, 1948.THREE GENERATIONS HAVE BAKED FOR A CENTURY.The business of J.W. Goodier and Sons, bakers and confectioners, Liverpool Road, Higher Irlam, carried on through three generations of Goodiers', reached its centenary on Saturday. It was founded by "Grandfather" John Goodier in the Whitsuntide of 1848. Mr. Joseph and Mr. James William Goodier, who took over from their father, the late Mr. J.W. Goodier, are now managing the business. A fourth generation, Paul Goodier, Mr. J. Goodier's nephew, is preparing to carry on the trade, and is at present a baking student at the School of Technology.The Goodier's and their bakery are an integral part of Irlam, and, from supplying no more than a dozen people with those mammoth loaves (now only seen in old photographs) they deliver their bread to homes on the Irlam, Cadishead and Barton Mosses and supply hundreds of others in the district.BY HAND.When Mr. John Goodier started the business in just one small shop with its whitewashed walls and low ceillings, supported by a heavy, strong looking beam, is still in existence, but has been extended to cope with the increased business.Mr. Joseph Goodier told a "Guardian" reporter: "We used to go out on the Moss in a spring cart twice a week delivering bread, and I can remember the time when the horse has sunk in mud to the top of its legs."Goodier's must surely be the oldest business in this district, and when founded it was the only bakers in Irlam - there was also one in Cadishead.Mr. Goodier described as revolutionary ther changes that have taken place in baking methods since his grandfather's time. "It then took 15 hours to bake bread - it takes less than five now. Everything was done by hand, but now most of the work is done by machinery."EARLY FARMER.His grandfather bought the building from Sir Humphrey Trafford ( a former owner of Irlam Hall), and at the time was also carrying out a little farming. Mr. Goodier's great-grandfather was one of the early Irlam Moss farmers when the Moss was not drained and quite high up."Irlam was then only sparsely populated between Irlam Church and the station - the main road was not cut until 1824 - and my grandfather served only a dozen people between the shop and Cadishead Chapel.He baked large cottage loaves, which weighed about eight pounds, and I can remember them being thrown chain fashion from the ovens to my father in the spring cart," said Mr. Goodier.Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1937/8The Late Mr James W GoodierIrlam has lost one of its oldest natives, who had been an organist and choirmaster for 50 years, in Mr. James William Goodier, baker and confectioner, Liverpool Road, Irlam.He was probably one of the best known personalities in old and modern Irlam.The shop at the corner of Liverpool Road and Ferry Road had been a landmark in Higher Irlam for nearly a century, the business being established in a very small way in 1848 by his father, the late Mr. John Goodier, and James William succeeded him more than half a century ago. Mr. Joseph Goodier, his son, had been in the business from boyhood and will succeed his father.Mrs. Goodier and the late Mr. J.W. Goodier celebrated their golden wedding in October two years ago, being married on the 28th of that month at the Parish Church by the late Rev. R. Martin, D.D.Mrs. Goodier's maiden name being Elizabeth Hannah Hesford, representing another old Irlam family.There is a stained glass window in the Parish Church to the memory of the late John Bell, an old farmer on the Moss, who was the late Mr. Goodier's grandfather. |
