Roberts Bakery

There aren't many places in the UK where you can sit in your car at a set of traffic lights while watching and smelling freshly baked bread as it 'hypnotically' rotates in two massive cooling towers.

The iconic Roberts Bakery factory in Northwich has been a landmark since its two cooling towers were constructed back in 2000. The impressive building on Gadbrook Park, next to the A556, has become a familiar sight to commuters and residents alike.
