A kosher bakery has shut up shop at the north London premises it occupied for close on 50 years.

But Parkway Patisserie - which closed its main Finchley branch last Friday - hopes to be back in business at a nearby site by the end of the week.

Parkway served its first customer the day after Pesach in 1967.

In 2013, plans to close the bakery for the site to be part of a housing, office and library development prompted a "save our shop" petition which attracted more than 1,000 signatures. But after negotiations with the landlord, the bakery finally agreed to vacate.
