dated 1556 decreed that the bakers of Glasgow would have three “Mercat Dayes” each week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” he says. “Then, they were permitted to sell their bread at the Cross. The Glasgow bakers enjoyed a monopoly, since it was also stipulated that “nae outtentowneris” bread be sold on these days.”
“They also sent 20 loaves to a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Glasgow, ‘for the purpose of ascertaining if the bread contained any deleterious matter.’” “One example was the magnificent United Co-operative Baking Society factory by Glasgow Green,” says Michael. “The Society was formed in 1869 to supply bread to the city’s co-op stores, and by 1958 baked half of all bread eaten in the city.“Other firms such as Bilsland Brothers produced wrapped bread that could be sold in shops across the city, and Govan-based James Jack and Sons, founded in 1922, supplied morning rolls to some 800 shops.
