Bakerellys in Queen Street had been open less than a month when it had a window smashed between 8pm and 8.30pm on Tuesday, October 14.

It was at the end of a dramatic day after the shop was forced to close as firefighters tackled a blaze at Admiral's Fish & Chips next door.

Having come through the fire unscathed, it was disheartening for owners Ellie Ostler and Sy, who are unsure of the motivation behind the damage.

Sy grew up in Queen Street with his family running the Alfa Tandoori for decades before it was turned into a bakery last month.
