It was sad to read in www.yorkshirepost.co.uk that after 92 years of service, a cake shop, called 'Sterchi's' in Filey, North Yorkshire is about to close.
It's heyday, it said, was in the 1930's when afternoon tea and light supper were an every day part of British life.
The shop opened in 1924/25 but now with big shops eating up all the little shops, it just came down to basic book balancing, that made them decide it was time to close the doors.
The owners Mr Philip Cammish and Mrs Sue Cammish, were very sad to have to close the shop. They have been overwhelmed with letters and phone calls bemoaning the closure.

BARACK OBAMA AND HIS 'SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP' WITH THE UK....
How lovely it was to hear on the BBC News that US President Barack Obama has hailed his country's "special relationship" with the UK in a speech delivered at a state banquet at Buckingham Palace.
He thanked the UK for its solidarity since 9/11 and in tackling the security threats that followed.
He also paid tribute to the UK's military forces for "standing shoulder to shoulder with the US for decades".
The banquet was hosted by the Queen and attended by royalty, politicians and film stars.
