Robinson's Sweet Hut.
12th April 2003
The sweet hut dates back to just after the 1st World War.
When Freddie Lambert returned from the 1st World War he was severely shell shocked. I have been told by the current proprietor (2004) that the members of the Baildon British Legion paid for the shop to be built by a Shipey carpenter for Freddie. It was then brought up to the common land, Pin Fold, Mill Hill by horse. The wheels have been left on the hut so that it is exempt from rates. Pin Fold is the area where sheep that had strayed into the village would be penned until their owner could come and pay for their release.
